Giannis is the two-time reigning MVP. NBA prime is often considered to be about age 26-30. Giannis turned 26 last week. He just signed with the Bucks for five years.
Last time Jrue Holiday made playoffs, he was great: 23.7 / 5.7 / 6.3 with 51.8 FG% while playing elite defense.
In 1st round sweep over Blazers, went for 41 in closeout.
In 2nd round loss to historic team (Durant Warriors), went for 27/10/11 in final game... in 46 minutes.
Nine months ago, the Bucks beat the Lakers.
It was, without question, the most fun game of the season, and the high point of the season.
Would be nice if they were playing again tomorrow. (They are not.)

So to recap:
Giannis rightfully wins MVP and then says people should not call him MVP.
LeBron rightfully doesn’t win MVP and then says more people should consider him MVP.
Not a bad Giannis resumé line this year:
MVP + DPOY + best PER in league history + arguably the best rebounder in the league + most prolific scorer in the league per minute + best player on the team with the best record.

Middleton scored 21 points in the third quarter of Game 4 while facing elimination without his MVP teammate.
He then also outscored the entire Heat team (9-8) in overtime.
Not bad.
Middleton fouled out of zero games during the regular season.
He fouled out of Game 1 against the Heat and picked up 3 fouls in his first 8 minutes of Game 2.
Brook spotted up and hit 4 threes from the right corner in Game 2 after making 11 from there in the entire regular season. New spot?
