Giannis Antetokounmpo joined Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the second Milwaukee Bucks player to win the Most Valuable Player award. The award was announced on Monday at a ceremony in Los Angeles.
At just 24 years old, Antetokounmpo became the third-youngest player to win the MVP over the past 40 seasons, behind Derrick Rose and LeBron James. The Athens, Greece native is the fifth player born outside of the United States to win MVP.
Throughout the season, Antetokounmpo said he was not focused on winning the award. He was asked multiple times if it was an explicit goal.
