The legendary Dirk Nowitzki stated that the star of the Milwaukee Bucks Giannis Antetokounmpo should be named the NBA MVP this season.

“Giannis I think deserves it. They’ve had an unbelievable year. I think they (Milwaukee Bucks) have the best record overall.

He plays an amazing all-around game, whether it’s defense, rebounding, blocking shots, offensive, getting everybody involved,” Nowitzki said.

The “Greek Freak” averaged 27.7 points, 12.5 rebounds and 5.9 assists in the regular season, while shooting at a career-best 57.8% from the field.

The other candidate for the MVP Award is the reigning MVP and the leader of the Houston Rockets, James Harden.
