Giannis Antetokounmpo Is Still Playing At MVP Levels

One of the few consistent things in the NBA this season has been the success of the Milwaukee Bucks.

Since the start of 2022-23, the Bucks have been sitting toward the top of the Eastern Conference standings.

Currently, they are the third-best team with a strong 33-17 record, behind just the Boston Celtics and surging Philadelphia 76ers.

And the most consistent player on one of the league’s most consistent teams has been Giannis Antetokounmpo.

The Greek Freak is making good on his promise of playing his heart out this year and that was again apparent on Sunday night.

During that victory over the New Orleans Pelicans, Antetokounmpo created a stat line that made jaws drop.

He scored 50 points, 13 rebounds, and 5 assists, going 20-of-26 from the field and 3-of-4 from the three-point line.

He was shooting an enormous 76.9% from the field and 74% from downtown.

It was a tremendous showing for the star, especially considering he was listed as questionable for the game going into Sunday night.

This is in line with what he’s been producing all season: 31.7 points, 12 rebounds, and 5.3 assists.

He is truly playing some of the best basketball of his career, which says a lot for the two-time MVP.

Speaking of that trophy, there is a chance that Antetokounmpo could win it once again.

That would be a high honor, indeed, but Antetokounmpo’s sole goal is returning to the NBA Finals and winning another ring.

It won’t be easy to achieve that, especially with the fierce competition from the rest of the teams in the East.

Over the next few days, Antetokounmpo and his Bucks will battle the Charlotte Hornets, Los Angeles Clippers, Miami Heat, and Portland Trail Blazers.

Will he have another stunning scoring night during that time?
