NBA Most Valuable Player Award

Anxiety in Milwaukee over Giannis Antetokounmpo staying with the Bucks beyond this season continues to rise. The NBA MVP said Wednesday he has locked in on the 2020 season, not his much-discussed future.

"Right now, I am not focused on that," Antetokounmpo said Wednesday. "I am just trying to focus on myself."

Collectible match-worn signed shoes belonging to Milwaukee Bucks star and last season's NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo and a signed T-shirt from his personal collection with Nike are being auctioned for charity on www.charityidols.com as part of the Live Athletically campaign to raise money to combat the coronavirus.

Greek forward Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks headlines the record-setting contingent of eight international players taking part in Sunday's NBA All-Star Game in Chicago, the league announced on Thursday.

With the world's two most expensive soccer players cheering him on in Paris on Friday night, Giannis Antetokounmpo took a while to entertain them.

The Greek star found his rhythm late in the game and had 30 points and 12 rebounds to help the NBA-leading Milwaukee Bucks beat the Charlotte Hornets 116-103 for their eighth straight win.
