Giannis Antetokounmpo Has Amazing Quote When Comparing Himself to James Harden in MVP Debate
For some reason, many NBA fans think James Harden was robbed of yet another MVP Award last season. The trophy was given to Giannis Antetokounmpo, who led his Bucks team to 60 wins and an Eastern Conference Finals berth.
He's once again the favorite among the league's GM survey to take it again this year.

Well, it sounds like Giannis has been hearing complaints about him winning the award, so he finally had something say about it.
Leave it to Giannis to give us a memorable, hilarious quote on the matter.
"I'm never gonna say I'm better than James. But, the trophy's in my house."

Nailed it!
This looks to be Giannis' way of saying that he totally deserved the MVP, and he's not wrong. Not only did the Greek Freak have a slightly higher PER than The Beard, but he was also arguably the best defender in the league, as he was a finalist for the DPOY award.
Harden has improved on the defensive side, but is nowhere near Giannis' level.

Harden advocates need to come to terms with the fact that Antetokounmpo didn't rob him of MVP and move on.
