Giannis is different as he draws comparisons to many of the greats

But Giannis is different. His expectations are different. His obligations are different. His game is different. Giannis has an incomparable gift, a distinguishable game from the others. The MVP is written all over Giannis. Standing at 6’11”, he stands above everyone in the NBA.

The Milwaukee Bucks organization posted a video featuring highlights of Antetokounmpo merged with highlights of Michael Jordan and Hakeem Olajuwon.

Of course, Jordan and Olajuwon are the only players in NBA history who have won DPOY and MVP in the same season, and Giannis joins them. As seen in the video, the way that Giannis plays the game is significantly comparable to Olajuwon and M.J. The Bucks have drawn obvious comparisons between Antetokounmpo and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar because of their height and Abdul-Jabbar’s time in Milwaukee. There are striking similarities between Giannis and the greats.

After the announcement, Giannis took to his own social media account and posted a picture of himself on a jet reading the news of him winning MVP in the paper.

If that doesn’t look like a two-time MVP, then who or what does?

Everything about the Bucks is different since drafting Giannis. The Bucks have everything to smile about. Who else can say they have the best player and the best team?
