Just over a year ago Giannis Antetokounmpo was at the peak of his form. He had taken the NBA by storm, and everybody started making a case for him as the Most Valuable Player (MVP).
In February last year, Giannis sat down with ESPN’s Rachel Nichols to talk about his season.
“I should be MVP because – I don’t care, I just care about winning.” he said during the interview, “You just keep winning and playing good basketball and everything will take care of itself.”
