Giannis Antetokounmpo has two back-to-back MVP titles under his belt and won his first NBA championship last season.

According to a former NBA player Kenyon Martin, the 27-year-old Greek superstar is the new LeBron James and can be in the MVP conversation every year.

“Listen, Giannis is the new LeBron,” Martin told fellow retired NBA player Ethan Thomas on basketballnews.com “He can be in the MVP convo every season.

“And the only reason you don’t give it to him is because someone else is playing out of their mind that season. So yeah a lot has to happen before they’re the favorites over Milwaukee.”

This season Antetokounmpo is averaging 29 points, 11.2 rebounds and 6 assists in 32.5 minutes per game for Milwaukee.
