Does Giannis Antetokounmpo Have his Breakout MVP Year?
This spring, we have serious high-hopes for the Milwaukee Bucks, advancing in the first-round of the post-season. While the team lost to the Toronto Raptors last April, they definitely made some noise and an impression on the rest of the league – headlined by Giannis Antetokounmpo. So much, that Kobe Bryant challenged the Greek Freak to win the 2018 MVP Award this season.
After earning his first All-Star game spot last season, we expect Giannis to have a break-out super-star season; as many even picked him first for their fantasy squads this month. With Jason Kidd looking to surround him with the right-line up until Jabari Parker returns in mid-February, it’ll be very interesting to see how much confidence Antetokounmpo has gained over these last few months.
