With both MVP candidates, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Joel Embiid going at it, the Greek freak got the last laugh. After another dominating night at the office, Giannis blocked Embiid’s game-tying shot to seal the deal for Milwaukee. Likewise, NBA fans were all in favor of the Greek Freak after his remarkable play.

Both Embiid and Giannis are top MVP candidates in the league. As big men, they are bringing back the glory to the position posting dominating numbers. Embiid is having his best offensive year putting up 29.9 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists. On the other hand, Antetokounmpo is doing it on both ends. Averaging 29.9 points as well, he is also a top defender in the league.
