Who Is The MVP of the NBA?


This is a widely discussed topic in basketball circles on who is MVP every year, and most people have valid arguments on who is MVP.
But for me, the MVP of the league is Giannis Antetokounmpo.
This is because he has taken the Bucks as the lone super star on that team and has made them the best team in the NBA record wise.
Just last season the Bucks were 44-38  on the season and finished in 7th place in a week Eastern Conference that did not have Kawhi Leonard yet on the Raptors. Not to mention a injured Celtics and young 76ers team.
Now, the 76ers through trades are a legit threat to the Warriors, the Raptors are a way better team with Kawhi than with Demar DeRozan with all do respect to him, and if the Celtics can figure out a good rotation for them they can be a threat as well.
But, above all those teams is the Milwaukee Bucks lead by Giannis.
Currently on the year Giannis is averaging a career high 27.4 points per game, a career high 12.5 rebounds per game, a career high 6.5 assists per game, and a career high 57.7% from the field.
And those are just his career highs so far on the season. Giannis has also been averaging 1.3 steals per game and 1.4 blocks per game.
And this performance has led the Bucks to a 59-20 record. 15 wins higher already on the season than last season and they still have three games left on the season.
But, there is only one person that is right there with Giannis for MVP and that is James Harden of the Houston Rockets.
Harden is having a historical season himself as he as averaging 36.3 points per game, 6.5 rebounds, and 7.5 assists.
But one of the only knocks against Harden is that his team isn’t as successful as Giannis’s, but his team in general is better and has more pieces around him.
Giannis’s next best teammate is Eric Bledsoe, where as Harden’s next best teammate is Chris Paul.
Bledsoe is a good Point Guard but is not even considered a star, and Paul is and has been considered a super star for many years now.
So with everything said, even though Harden scores more points, Giannis effects the game and his team more, and is my MVP.

Trojans March Down to South

Welcome back to Inside Troy Women’s Basketball. The Trojans are coming off of a game where they beat the Louisiana Ragin Cajuns 90 to 64. That margin of win difference marked two games in a row where the Trojans won by 22 or more points. But the biggest standout from this game to me was Sky’Lynn Holmes. She finished the game with 15 points, which is a good amount for her. But where she shined was on the glass where she had 20 rebounds! I remember hearing her name called a lot at work at WTBF, but I did not think at the time it was that much. And this was a home game, so I really wish I could’ve been there to talk to Head Coach Chanda Rigby myself about that rebounding performance. And looking forward to the South game tomorrow, I don’t think it’s going to take a game like this from Holmes for the Trojans to win. Will Holmes put up 10 points and 10 rebounds? Probably. But what doesn’t happen every night is when the entire team has a good shooting night from three...

Softball On A Roll

As of late, the Softball team has been on a role and have won 12 games in a row.             Their most recent win was over conference rival South Alabama . And anyone who knows about that rivalry knows that it doesn’t matter what your record going into that game is. Both teams will play it close no matter what, and that’s exactly what happened.             Coming into that game, Troy was riding high on an eleven-game win streak, while South was struggling to try to get just their 3 rd win in conference and 13 th win overall.             Troy had started off slow, but picked it up in the third inning with 3 runs with Kaylee Hussey and Bailey Taylor both picking up RBIs. But, that is where the scoring would stop for the Trojans as they would go on to finish the game only scoring those 3 runs.    ...

Moving to Softball

Basketball season is officially over, so now its time to move to softball. So far on the year the softball team is off to a hot start on the season as they sit 22-13 on the year so far and is currently on a four game winning streak. And a big part of that winning streak and the strong start to the season in general so far has been freshman Leanna Johnson . She is a pitcher from Brantley, Alabama and is currently 14-5 on the season. And out of the last four games played, Johnson has started three of them and has gotten the credit for the win in two of them. The second most recent win she earned was on the road at Coastal Carolina where the Trojans won 11-3. In that game she pitched all 6 innings for the Trojans and gave up 7 hits and 3 earned runs. In that same game she also had 8 strikeouts and only 1 walk. That game would spark the Trojans to go on and win the next two over Coastal Carolina and get the sweep just last weekend. But, then they would travel back home to st...
