Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian endorses NBA star Giannis Antetokounmpo for MVP title
Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian shared his support for Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo to win the NBA MVP title.
During the Milwaukee Bucks' game against the Washington Wizards on April 5, Giannis Antekounmpo made an extraordinary chase-down block on Kendrick Nunn in the fourth quarter. Antekounmpo then led the Bucks to a 140-128 victory with his sixth triple-double of the season.
Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian shared a clip of Antetokoumpo's incredible block on his Instagram and endorsed him for the NBA MVP title. The Bucks star has won the MVP title on two previous occasions, in 2019 and 2020.
"Here's your MVP," Ohanian posted.
Giannis Antetokounmpo currently ranks third in the MVP race, behind Nikola Jokic and Joel Embiid.
Alexis Ohanian has always been a passionate supporter of the Greek star. He previously lauded Antetokounmpo's winning mindset.
"I'm not as talented as Steph. I'm not as talented as KD. I'm f**king desperate. I'm obsessed. So I f**king work as hard as I can, because I don't want to lose this s**t," Antetokounmpo stated.
Ohanian was touched by Antetokounmpo's words as he shared his sentiments on his Instagram story. He urged all his followers to support Antetokounmpo, regardless of whether they have an interest in basketball or not.
"It's a mindset. Y'all need to be following my guy @giannis_an34 even if you don't follow basketball," Ohanian wrote.

Caitlin Clark led Iowa to their NCAA tournament final by defeating the reigning champions, South Carolina. Clark was instrumental in their success as she put up 41 points, six rebounds, and eight assists during the semifinal.
However, the Iowa Hawkeyes were unable to keep their momentum going as they lost the championship final to Louisiana State University on April 2.
"I want my legacy to be the impact that I can have on young kids and the people in the state of Iowa. I hope I brought them a lot of joy this season," Clark said during the post-match press conference.
Following the loss, a teary-eyed Clark answered a question about her influence in promoting women's basketball and encouraging young fans to take up the sport.
