Giannis Antetokounmpo is among the finalists for the MVP award after leading Milwaukee Bucks to first place on the Eastern Conference standings.
He had another outstanding regular season, with a particularly impressive stat-line, and became the first player in NBA history with 30+ points, 10+ rebounds, 5+ assists, and 55% shooting from the field.
The Greek Freak set a career-high in average points with 31,1, surpassing the +30 points barrier for the first time in ten years, finishing in 5th place on the relevant list.
He also had 11,8 rebounds (third best in his career) and thus ranked third in the NBA along with Nikola Jokic and behind only Anthony Davis and Domantas Sabonis (12.5 and 12.3 respectively).
Giannis also averaged 5,7 assists and shot 55,3% from the field to complete this remarkable milestone, one of a kind in NBA history.
Antetokounmpo is aiming for his second NBA championship, with the Milwaukee Bucks facing Miami Hit in the first round of the playoffs.
