If you currently spend your nights in front of the NBA, it could not have escaped you. The Bucks are unplayable. Either everything looks easy, or they always manage, but in the end the conclusion is relentless: Bucks = victory. And in the middle of all this, among other things, a man shines even more than usual. This man is Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Giannis knocks again very hard on the door of the office in which the 2022-23 MVP trophy is hidden.
Notice to numbers lovers, you will get your money’s worth with the following lines. Poetry lovers it’s a promise, we will try to satisfy you as well. Since the beginning of the calendar year, Giannis Antetokounmpo has therefore lost… only one match, it was against Charlotte and it is still rather strange. In short, all that to say what? All that to say that if you have met Giannis in 2023 you have every chance of having beautiful scratches and very red buttocks.
45 points, 22 rebounds, 7 assists and 43 points, 20 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks, that’s how he finished the previous calendar year. 55 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists, then 30 points, 21 rebounds and 10 assists, that’s how he started the next one. From ? 41/12/6 in Indianapolis, 50/13/4 against the Pelicans, 34/18/4 against the Hornets, 54/19 on the Clippers racket… and so on, each opponent being synonymous for a few weeks with a big beating families. This season Giannis is averaging a career-best 32.5 points at 12.3 rebounds per game, making him the league’s top rebounder.and with the victory of the Bucks yesterday against the Celtics it is true limited by injuries, Milwaukee has returned to a millimeter of Boston and is now placed as the second best team in the entire NBA, ahead of the Nuggets by one sure… Nikola Jokic, you see us coming.
Giannis is running at 32.4 points, 12.3 rebounds, 5.4 assists, almost 1 against + 1 average interception, his level of dominance is mind-blowing, the Bucks are on 11 straight wins and Milwaukee has a better record than Denver .
I don’t know what to tell you, I’m just putting it there.

Nikola Jokic who is also currently playing on another planet, the kind of planet that has given him the status of favorite for his own estate for about a month, to become only the fourth player in history to become a triple MVP in the league . But where these few lines take on their meaning is that we are therefore wondering whether the current performances of Giannis Antetokounmpo, linked to the balance sheet of their respective franchises, would not be tipping the scales in his favor. We are talking about a tiny gap, between an exceptional Jokic every night and a Giannis… currently inhumanbut the question deserves in any case to be asked around a duo who perhaps put a few hectometres in the sight of the main following in the classification, Joel Embiid, Jayson Tatum or Luka Doncic in the lead.
After about three quarters of the season played, we are starting to see (a little) more clearly in the race for the MVP. All we can say is that John Wall is not part of it, totally free that, and that from tonight (Nuggets – Mavericks), each game will be one more sheet to put on the file of each one. And you, rather Team Giannis or Team Jokic?
