Giannis Antetokounmpo’s historic year earned him a historic sweep.

The Bucks forward is the NBA’s Most Valuable Player for the second consecutive season, receiving that award Friday. He earlier received the Defensive Player of the Year award.

The 25-year-old Antetokounmpo, who averaged 29.5 points, 13.6 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game, becomes just the third player in league history to win MVP and Defensive Player of the Year in the same season, joining Michael Jordan and Hakeem Olajuwon.
