Giannis Antetokounmpo Caps Off Dominant Season with Seventh-Straight Top-4 MVP Finish

Giannis Antetokounmpo has once again solidified his place among basketball’s elite, being named a finalist for the 2024–25 NBA Most Valuable Player award. This marks the seventh consecutive season that Giannis has finished in the top four of MVP voting—an extraordinary display of sustained excellence and dominance. While this recognition may not come as a surprise to anyone following his career, it remains a powerful testament to just how consistently elite the Greek Freak has been.

In 67 games this season, Giannis put together one of his most impressive campaigns yet, averaging 30.4 points, 11.9 rebounds, and 6.5 assists per game, all while shooting a jaw-dropping 60.1% from the field. His assist average ties his career high from last season, showcasing his evolution as both a scorer and playmaker. He led the league in both two-pointers and overall field goals made per game, ranked second in scoring, and sixth in rebounds per game—proof of his all-around brilliance.

Giannis also earned his ninth straight All-Star selection and is likely to secure his seventh consecutive All-NBA First Team honor. Though the MVP trophy may ultimately go to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander or Nikola Jokic, Giannis’s dominance is undeniable. His consistent greatness, year after year, speaks not only to his individual brilliance but also to the golden era of talent currently gracing the NBA. Despite no other Milwaukee Buck being named a finalist for any major award, Giannis’s presence alone continues to elevate the franchise to contender status.
