With the NBA regular season almost ending, the teams are looking to confirm their playoff spots. Moreover, this stage of the league has brought out the best in all the players, given the level of competition. In one such instance, during the recent matchup between the Milwaukee Bucks and the Philadelphia 76ers, Giannis Antetokounmpo played like a true MVP frontrunner.

He battled with fellow MVP candidate Joel Embiid throughout the game and eventually came up on top. Talking about the MVP award, former Chicago Bulls player Jay Williams has an interesting take. According to him, Giannis has a chance of taking the first spot in the MVP rankings because of the tough schedule he has to endure.

One of the most prestigious awards in the history of the NBA is the MVP award. Whether it is Michael Jordan, LeBron James, or Kobe Bryant, they have all won this award. Moreover, this year’s race for the MVP award is heating up.

Three players are in prime contention to win the award. They are Nikola Jokic, Joel Embiid, and Giannis Antetokounmpo. Talking about the award and who is going to win it, Jay Williams has an interesting take. Williams said, “Right now, I have Jokic number 1 and after last night, Giannis 2 and Embiid 3. Here’s what’s gonna be interesting, Joel Embiid has an easier schedule down the stretch. But the Bucks play the Nets, they play Boston, they play Dallas, they play Chicago, they play Clippers, they play Cleveland.”
