Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo was named the NBA's MVP on Monday, edging out Houston Rockets guard James Harden and Oklahoma City Thunder wing Paul George in a tight race.
Antetokounmpo received 78 first-place votes, while James Harden collected 23. No other player received a vote for first place.
Antetokounmpo was superb in the 2018-19 season, finishing third in the NBA in points (27.7), sixth in rebounding (12.5), 21st in assists (5.9), 10th in blocks (1.5) and first in player efficiency rating (30.95).
He was a force on both ends of the court, leading Milwaukee to an NBA-best 60-22 record this season. And the scary thing for the rest of the NBA is that the 24-year-old Antetokounmpo is only going to get better.
