The Milwaukee Bucks have started the season in good form, prevailing against the 76ers and the Rockets. And Giannis Antetokounmpo has been key in both wins.

Giannis Antetokounmpo: 3x MVP or 2x champion? Which one does he want most?

Well, given the importance of a Larry O’Brien trophy in one’s resume, we reckon Giannis wants that one more. But we can’t rule him out of a run for this third MVP award.

He is doing his usual thing, dominating the paint and leading his team past the line.

On Saturday, Giannis became the first player in Bucks History to score 44+ points in 28 minutes or less.
