#3 Giannis Antetokounmpo - Greece
Entering Game 3, Giannis Antetokounmpo had yet to demonstrate the MVP form that NBA fans have grown accustomed to. Nevertheless, the Milwaukee Bucks star finally delivered as he led his Greece team with 24 points as they overcame New Zealand.
Antetokounmpo took just 10 shots, but was constantly fouled throughout the game and made 15 trips to the free-throw line. He connected with 11 of them, and also knocked down 1 of his 3 attempts from beyond the arc to record his highest point’s tally of the tournament so far.
