Giannis Antetokounmpo joins the Elite -NBA company after MVP announcement

Giannis Antetokounmpo had a regular elite season. Despite his Milwaukee Bucks, who dealt with a variety of injuries throughout the season, Antetocounmpo appeared and shouldered most of the load for his squad.

Antetocounmpo achieved historical figures this season with an average of 30.4 points, 11.9 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 1.2 blocks and 0.9 steals per game, while shooting 60.1% from the field. He was the first player in NBA history with an average of at least 30 points and 11 rebounds, while he shot at least 60% from the field.

In most years in the NBA, Antetokounmpo would be worth taking the NBA MVP Award home, but it would take third place. The Kia NBA MVP Award was announced on Wednesday by winning Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Nikola Jokic as a second-placed man.

Antetocounmpo was the consistency model during his 12-year career. Since he won successive MVP prices in 2019 and 2020, he has been in the top 5 vote every year. When Antetokounmpo reached the top five of the MVP vote for the seventh season in a row, she switched to Elite NBA Company.
