Giannis - MVP Race

[mufan2003]

Step back 3 to force overtime, and two clutch free throws in OT that proved to be the game winner.

Key for the MVP race, the game was on national TV and was a huge matchup, so my guess is watched by many a NBA fan or MVP race voter.

That was huge. 2 wins on the road against the other favorites in the East. 3 of the final 6 games also on national TV.

Also, Denver is currently 6th in the West while Philly lost @ Detroit and is now 4th in the East. Things can change over the last week, but how often has a MVP been awarded to a player on a team that finished that low?

I think Giannis has a legit chance if the Bucks claim the #1 spot in the East.
