Tatum falls in the MVP polls as Giannis Antetokounmpo shines.
NBA MVP straw poll, showcasing a new front-runner on the rise. The league’s top players established themselves early with Denver Nuggets’ Nikola Jokić, Oklahoma City Thunder’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Boston Celtics Jayson Tatum, Dallas Mavericks’ Luka Dončić, and Milwaukee Bucks’ Giannis Antetokounmpo leading the way.
During the Bucks’ 2024 NBA Cup run, where Milwaukee was crowned champion, Giannis delivered exceptional performances that caught the attention of many. He is currently leading the league in scoring averaging 32.7 points shooting over 61% per game. He also contributes 11.5 rebounds and 6.1 assists. With the help of seven-time All-Star Damian Lillard, the two have put the Bucks back on the map.
The NBA Cup MVP is now trailing closely behind Gilgeous-Alexander who received 24 first-place votes while Aneteokounmpo received an impressive 19 first-place votes. Both players have separated themselves from the rest of the NBA, with Tatum receiving zero first-place votes, and still sitting in fourth.
