Well Wisconsin had Yelich in baseball last year the Freak in Basketball this last season and now all we need is the MVP from the NFL to come from Wisconsin as well this up coming season and that would be a nice 3 year run.

Giannis (Greece) becomes the 5th non US that wins NBA MVP, following H. Olajwuon (Nigeria), T.Duncan, (Virgin Islands), S.Nash (Canada) and D.Nowinski (Germany).

Giannis becomes the second non US player and the third NBA player in the leauge's history that has won MVP and "defensive player of the year" award in the same season, following (Nigerian) H.Olajuwon and (US) M.Jordan...

He deserved it. Surprised they gave him defensive as well though.

Why? Who deserved "defensive player of the year" more than Giannis?

Giannis did not win DPOY.

Gobert did

Seriously.

You just invent narratives, report them like they are true, then get all pissy when people call you on it

Be a better poster, learn from your mistakes.

Maybe the guy that actually won it, obviously I didn’t watch. I am surprised George didn’t get any votes at all though. Getting hurt after the all star break hurt him.
