Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, Houston Rockets guard James Harden and Lakers forward LeBron James are the finalists for the NBA's Most Valuable Player award, the league announced Saturday.
The league also revealed the players in the running for Rookie of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, Most Improved Player, Sixth Man of the Year and Coach of the Year. Awards voting is based on regular-season games through March 11, the date of the league's suspension amid the coronavirus pandemic. "Seeding games" played in the NBA's bubble in Orlando will not impact this season's awards.
Reigning MVP Antetokounmpo has been the heavy favorite to win the award again this summer.
