Giannis Antetokounmpo may be feeling slighted with all the MVP talk. It seems as if everyone is between Nikola Jokic and Joel Embiid for the award this season. A former MVP, Giannis knows what it takes to win the award. However, this year, it seems the Bucks star is the odd man out in the race. But it hasn’t slowed Giannis or the Bucks down this season. The Bucks are the number one overall seed in the Eastern Conference. On Sunday, the Bucks took it to one of the MVP favorites in Embiid and the Sixers.
After the 117-104 victory, the Bucks star couldn’t help himself from sending out a post. If you’re one of the people doubting Giannis and the Bucks, he has a statement for you. “I love the doubt..” Giannis posted the statement alongside a picture of himself from Sunday’s big win. It seems as if Giannis is playing with a giant chip on his shoulder. It certainly shouldn’t be from the team’s overall performance. The Bucks have been the best team in the East for most of the season. However, the playoffs could be interesting with potential matchups with the Celtics and Sixers.
Giannis Antetokounmpo Fears No Team
The Bucks have been to the dance before. They’ve fought and clawed for a piece of NBA immortality. One could single out Giannis Antetokounmpo as the one to break the super team mold. In a time where being on a super team is the cool thing to do. Giannis helped build a contender in Milwaukee. Something that not many NBA superstars can say they’ve done in this era. Giannis should definitely not fall under the category of underrated by any means. But it does feel as if the Bucks are taking a back seat to other teams. Which may just be the way they want it.
The NBA playoffs will be starting up next week. Soon, the time for talk will be over. The best teams will show who they are, as you must win four games to advance. There is no team sneaking by to the next round. Everyone must be on their A-game each and every night. The Bucks will await to see their opponent after the play-in tournament finishes up. Then, they will take on the eighth seed of the Eastern Conference. Just how far will the Bucks go this season? Do you see anyone standing in Milwuakee’s way for a chance at another ring?
