Earlier than Friday’s recreation in opposition to the Chicago Bulls, Milwaukee Bucks coach Doc Rivers supplied a easy rationalization when requested why Giannis Antetokounmpo isn’t a bigger a part of NBA MVP conversations. “I don’t even need to get into it, however there’s been guys that you just get uninterested in voting for,” Rivers stated. “Michael Jordan would be the poster baby of that. “And Giannis appears to be in that class; the place you’re so good, all the pieces you do is taken without any consideration. Once you simply have a look at his numbers, they’re unimaginable, and but, you by no means hear his title. It’s unbelievable, however that’s an indication of respect greater than disrespect in some methods.”Supply: The Athletic

What’s the thrill on Twitter?
