One of the most prestigious awards in the history of the NBA is the MVP award. Whether it is Michael Jordan, LeBron James, or Kobe Bryant, they have all won this award. Moreover, this year’s race for the MVP award is heating up.

Three players are in prime contention to win the award. They are Nikola Jokic, Joel Embiid, and Giannis Antetokounmpo. Talking about the award and who is going to win it, Jay Williams has an interesting take. Williams said, “Right now, I have Jokic number 1 and after last night, Giannis 2 and Embiid 3. Here’s what’s gonna be interesting, Joel Embiid has an easier schedule down the stretch. But the Bucks play the Nets, they play Boston, they play Dallas, they play Chicago, they play Clippers, they play Cleveland.”

He added, “All these teams in the Eastern Conference are a game and a half within each other. So the guys are going to play down the stretch, what a treat that is for us. So, I think Giannis has a chance to win this thing when it is all said and done.“
