To say that Giannis Antetokounmpo is the heart and soul of the Milwaukee Bucks is not an exaggeration. He has been a cornerstone of the Bucks’ success since his breakout season, and his unique combination of size and athleticism make him one of the NBA’s most unstoppable players if he decides to get to the hoop.
Milwaukee will always have a chance to win a championship if the Greek Freak plays for the Bucks. Damian Lillard, Doc Rivers and the rest of the Bucks organization are in Giannis’s will and are willing to move heaven and earth to keep him on the roster. After all, losing Giannis to a team like the Golden State Warriors would force the team to completely rebuild.
To further drive home the point of how significant Giannis is to the Bucks organization, he joins a list of elite players who are expected to become the most impactful players in the upcoming season.
Analyst lists Giannis Antetokounmpo of Milwaukee Bucks as one of the MVP favorites for the 2024-25 season
Adam Taylor from Yardbarker included FanDuel on the list of the best candidates for MVP of the notable sports gaming brand FanDuel. Big names like Nikola Jokic and Luka Doncic top the list, but Giannis joins the list as the fourth most likely to win the award.
He writes at length why Antetokounmpo would be a potential MVP winner:
If Antetokounmpo, the 29-year-old two-time MVP, can make the most of his partnership with Damian Lillard and assist coach Doc Rivers’ team secure a robust spot in the Eastern Conference, he should be eligible for the MVP award.
However, the Bucks are not a newborn team and have questions regarding Brook Lopez and Khris Middleton. Considering Antetokounmpo is at his best when commanding the court in transition, it will be intriguing to see how the Bucks continue to get the best out of their star.
Last season, Antetokounmpo led the NBA in halftime field goal percentage that led to conversions his shots had a success rate of 68.3%. with a league-leading 6.3 transition possession rate per game.
Antetokounmpo had great numbers for the Milwaukee Bucks last season, averaging 30.4 points, 11.5 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.1 blocks for 73 matches. If the Greek Freak can stay hearty in the upcoming season, it wouldn’t be strange to consider the Bucks as the likely favorites for the NBA Finals.
