The 27-year-old is already a 2-time MVP, DPOY, MIP, and the Finals MVP. The league has witnessed many franchises trying to build a super team in order to win a championship, such as the Lakers and the Nets. However, the ‘Greek Freak’ has stuck with the old plan and won the championship with a team he has played since 2013.
The MVP race is tight this season as always with LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry among others fighting for the award alongside Giannis. However, Giannis has made his case for the MVP award and could win his 3rd this season.
