Giannis Antetokounmpo’s two MVP awards make him the 14th player in NBA history to earn the league’s top individual regular-season honor multiple times

Reigning NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo added more hardware to his resume as he was named the 2019-20 NBA Defensive Player of the Year.

The stars were out at Staples Center on Friday night. The problem for the Bucks, though, was the Lakers had two of them and they only had one.

Prolonged three-point drought and shaky defense allowed the Indiana Pacers to pull close, but the Milwaukee Bucks returned to form in second half.

A dominant 24-4 run put the Bucks on the path to a blowout 133-86 victory over the Thunder. It was their largest margin of victory of the season.

The Bucks fell in a 12-point hole but fought out of that second-quarter deficit for one of their most impressive road wins of the season in Toronto.

Giannis Antetokounmpo took it to the Sixers in a 119-98 win two days after Joel Embiid referred to himself as “the best player in the world.”

Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks took down LeBron James, Anthony Davis and the Lakers, but the reigning MVP said “it wasn’t a special game.”

While Luka Doncic sat out with a sprained ankle, the Mavericks overcame 48 points from Giannis Antetokounmpo to beat the Bucks 120-116 in Milwaukee.
