Giannis Antetokounmpo was awarded the 2021 NBA Finals MVP award after averaging 35.2 points, 13.2 rebounds and 5.0 assists while leading Milwaukee to a 4-2 series win over the Suns and the Bucks’ first title since 1971.
Though there was a bit of a groundswell for teammate Khris Middleton heading into Game 6, a 50-point, 14-rebound, 5-block masterpiece Tuesday by Giannis removed any shadow of a possibility of a hint of doubt as he won the award unanimously.
Middleton showed why he was worthy of mention, with his late jumper over Devin Booker essentially sealing the contest.
