Giannis Antetokounmpo is one of the best players in the NBA today, despite his recent struggles. The ‘Greek Freak’ has consistently shown, for the past few seasons, that he is one of the most dominant players to ever step foot in the NBA. But he could be on track to accomplishing something that even Michael Jordan and LeBron James could never do.

Giannis Antetokounmpo has the chance to make history

This season, if Giannis Antetokounmpo wins the MVP, he will become a consecutive three-time MVP. Only three players in the history of the NBA have won the MVP title three times consecutively – Bill Rusell, Wilt Chamberlain, and Larry Bird. Since Bird’s last MVP win, no player has achieved this historic feat.

Since 1986, most players have only been able to win two consecutive MVP titles. Players like Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, Tim Duncan, Steve Nash, LeBron James (twice), Steph Curry, and Giannis Antetokounmpo have been able to win the MVP title two years in a row. However, Giannis could make it three if he wins the MVP this season.

Can Giannis beat others to win an MVP?

The Grecian has a long road ahead of him. Currently, he is not one of the front-runners for MVP.
