Last season, standing in front of thousands of fans in Milwaukee, the Bucks leader politely requested the service: “Please don’t call me MVP from today until I win this award next year.”
The words of a basketball player nicknamed a “Greek monster” seem to have come true. True, this is only a small consolation for G. Antetokounmpas, because the Milwaukee team, considered the favorite of the season, finished the 2019-2020 season in the Eastern Conference semifinals, where they lost 1-4 to the Miami Heat team. .
Antetokounmpo also ranked in the top five symbolic. Besides him, there are also Luke Donchic, LeBron James, Anthony Davis and James Harden.
