"Give this man his trophy he’s the MVP damnit": NBA Fans react to Milwaukee Bucks becoming the first team to reach the NBA Playoffs

The Milwaukee Bucks are officially on their way to the 2023 NBA Playoffs as they clinch the 1st seed in the East. Milwaukee defeated their 2021 NBA Finals foe, the Phoenix Suns, on Tuesday night in a 116-104 victory. Giannis Antetokounmpo, as usual, got the job done with a double-double outing as he added 36 points, 11 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block.

After another impressive performance by the Milwaukee Bucks superstar, fans on social media are now demanding that Giannis Antetokounmpo be awarded the MVP trophy this season. Antetokounmpo has been in the MVP ladder race all season long, however, it appears that Nikola Jokic might win it for the third consecutive time.

The Bucks have officially clinched the 1st seed in the East thanks to another dominant performance by Giannis Antetokounmpo. Unfortunately, fans were still unimpressed by the "Greek Freak" and had mixed feelings about his accomplishments on social media.
