I think Giannis will win his 3rd MVP this year . Lets hope he can combine it with another championship .
If the Bucks stay at the top of the conference, then Giannis can win the MVP. But Jokic and Embiid are coming.
Go Bucks!
Love the lineup he put on court last night less George hill makes me happy.
I think Giannis should win it..that being said i think they will pick a new face with Giannis(2) and Jokic(3) for the last 5 hrs..Im thinking Tatum..but like i said I think Giannis deserves it so far.I wouldn't be suprised with Morant either..Luka is awesome aswell but his team isn't very good
Brook and jrue will hopefully be all stars. Obviously giannis will. And Khris will be getting my vote even if he hasn’t been playing great and missed a lot of games. With my 5th vote I’ll give it to Donovan Mitchell.
They must have the best record and they will have no choice to give it to anyone else.
Beware the DToT … 😱
What can we do to get BUD to play BEAUCHAMP and not Wesley or G hill for long stretches – in order to win they need 3 guys playing under 28 not named Grayson allen heavy mins
Giannis
Jrue
Brook
Beauchamp
Carter or Connaghton
No Middleton until he looks like he is back
Lineup I love the most
The greek freak is the best superstar in the NBA. Mvp and dpoy again this season for the greek freak
The Bucks do have a weakness in guard depth. Last year with the injuries the front line lacked depth so they picked up Ibaka. I've been pleasantly surprised by Allen's development and overall composure because if we're honest, he was a very disliked player prior to coming to Milwaukee. But, we haven't seen any of that showing his developing maturity. I still think though that what they really lack is team speed. This showed against the Grizzlies. So if they do make a move, that is what they need to target IMHO.
Brook Lopez, should be a mf all star. Yeah Jrue is doing his thang, but the competition is…. thick… in the pg area. Like Camille said I just don't see too many bigs that could realistically take his place. Also. BROOK SHOULD BE DPOY! I always see Giannis dpoy chants in the comments but this year it's Brook's to lose so far if you ask me
Jrue is so underrated. He should be an all-star. If Jrue was playing vs the Grizzlies instead of Khris it would be a completely different game both offensively and defensively.
Hey Rocky, Rocky Rococo. Where in the world is your marketing team? Your magnificent Pizza should be sponsoring Kane and locked on bucks!
He is the MVP.
What i took away from this episode is that 7% of the media members who took the staw poll are blind or brain damaged or haters or all of the above. I cannot fathom there are 7 humans, who have functioning eyes and brains, who watch the NBA regularly and are at least somewhat familiar with the sport of basketball, that think Giannis is not a top 5 valuable player in the league so far this year. If someone pays these people for their basketball insights, they might as well burn their money in the fireplace, at least then they will produce warmth and not be totaly wasted.
6:05 – Come on @Camille – you are shocked that Giannis ahead of Luka when Luka's team is .500. The Bucks started 10-0 and Giannis was the frontrunner for MVP. At the moment, Tatum, Giannis, Jokic, Embiid, KD are ahead of Luka.
If the Bucks are going to have 2 all-stars, it should Giannis and Jrue. Jrue averages 19 points, 5 rebounds, 7.6 assists and 1.5 steals and guards the opponent best perimeter player every game. Brook averages 14.6 points, 6 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 2.7 blocks. Brook has a very good season so far but no way is he should be an all-star over Jrue.
The only reason Jrue won't be all-star is because there are too many good guards (Mitchell, Brown, Irving, Halliburton, Herro and Young) in the East.
@18:20 Tyler Haliburton???
If we finish top 2 Giannis has to win his 3rd MVP. Jrue & Brook should both be All-stars this season the Bucks should have 3 All-stars
Giannis is the only guy on the MVP list that is actually good on defense if the voter's forget again that defense is half the game they should all lose their vote
