In that blitz to the top of the Eastern Conference, they unseated the Celtics and became the first team to earn a playoff berth.
Giannis led the charge by becoming the only player to average 30-10-5 this season with the best record and the steeliest defence in the league.
Just like Embiid and Jokic, he routinely puts up 30-point performances and is a juggernaut on both ends of the court. He won't be looking to slow down in the upcoming run.
That includes facing the Nuggets, Sixers, Celtics, Detroit Pistons, Indiana Pacers, Washington Wizards and Chicago Bulls, all of whom are either already eliminated from playoff contention or are on the fringes of the play-in tournament.
Sure, this might mean less game-time for Giannis, but it would be foolish to think he won't make the most of each game to make the MVP conversation solely about him.
Our parting projections? He'll edge the votes, narrowly.
