Giannis Antetokounmpo was named the best player last week in the Eastern Conference of the NBA. The Greek basketball player, who amazes the public with great performances on the NBA floor, played fantastic games with his team, the Milwaukee Bucks. In that period, Giannis averaged 36 points, 12.3 rebounds and 13.7 assists, which contributed to his team's four wins.
Giannis is making headlines
Antetokounmpo was named Player of the Week for the 25th time, moving him very high on the all-time list. With this recognition, Giannis overtook perhaps the greatest star of all time, Michael Jordan, who won this title 24 times.
He is currently in fourth place together with James Harden, while only Kobe Bryant and Kevin Durant stand in front of him, who each had 33 such awards. At the very top, with a record number, is LeBron James, who was named player of the week 69 times.
The well-known Greek opened the way to even greater success, and there is no doubt that he is on the threshold of becoming the best player in the strongest basketball league in the world. Giannis has shown countless times what qualities he possesses, but the NBA has fiercer competition, and it is not easy to stay on top when you have such superior and dominant players next to you.
In the West, the best player last week was Kawhi Leonard, dominating in the jersey of the Los Angeles Clippers. Leonard averaged 24 points and 5.8 rebounds in his team's four wins.
Kawhi is known for his calmness and concentration, and regardless of the fact that he is not such a dominant force on the court, there is no doubt that he is a strong factor for his team. With this kind of performance, I'm sure he's on the right track to do magical things in the future as well.
Kawhi and Antetokounmpo are the best example that hunger, passion and desire to succeed always result in success. Of course, talent is the first thing you need, but if you don't work on yourself, these successes become far from achievable.
