2. Giannis Antetokounmpo
Barring a major upset, Giannis Antetkounmpo will be the NBA’s MVP winner at the end of the season. This would be the first MVP award of his young career and make him just the fourth foreign player in NBA history to win the award.
Giannis has done this by being one of the most unstoppable forces the game has ever seen. His strength and athleticism mirror that of Shaquille O’Neal. While he is obviously far from the 300-pound monster that Shaq was, his game is an anomaly in the modern day NBA, making him just as scary as the three-time Finals MVP.
Giannis would certainly be a scary sight for the Warriors to face off with. Without Kevin Durant to counter him, this leaves a large task for Andre Iguodala and Draymond Green. Luckily, it seems like the Raptors have proven that Giannis can be thrown off his game as he is averaging just 23.0 points on 46.0 percent shooting in the Conference Finals.
Regardless, this is going to be one tough matchup for the Warriors if the Bucks make it out of the East.
