#4 Giannis Antetokounmpo
Giannis Antetokounmpo is probably the most unstoppable physical force in basketball not named LeBron James.
The man, standing at 6'11", is second only to Westbrook in points scored off fast breaks. Routinely, he pulls off dunks and blocks - the likes of which get basketball fans wondering if they've ever seen the like of it from a player who's supposed to be a big man given his size.

Antetokounmpo is the life and soul of the Bucks franchise. His season averages of 27.2 points, 10.0 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.4 blocks have led the Bucks to a playoff spot this season (not yet mathematically confirmed, but it's probably happening), and if the Bucks had a competent coach leading them to a finish any higher than the 7th/8th seed, he would've been in the thick of the MVP conversations this season.
As things stand, Antetokounmpo is still a fringe contender for an award heavily touted to be going to James Harden at this point in the season.
He has the foot speed to cover point guards on defense, and the size and athleticism to guard centers. His versatility on both ends of the floor is keeping the Bucks afloat this season.
