Giannis Antetokounmpo has won multiple ESPY Awards, having been honored as both the Best NBA Player and the Best Male Athlete in 2019.
He now has a chance to bring home a third.
Antetokounmpo, the Milwaukee Bucks superstar, is again a nominee for the Best NBA Player award at the 2025 ESPYs, ESPN announced June 26. He joins Oklahoma City’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Denver’s Nikola Jokić and Boston’s Jayson Tatum.
Fans can vote for their choices at espys.com and winners will be awarded July 16 on ABC.
Antetokounmpo was second in the NBA regular season in points per game (30.4), sixth in rebounds per game (11.9) and shooting percentage (60.1%), and 13th in assists per game (6.5).
Oshkosh native Tyrese Haliburton nominated for Best Play
Antetokounmpo wasn’t the only nominee with a Wisconsin connection.
Oshkosh native and Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton was nominated in the Best Play category for his game-winner in Game 1 of the NBA Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
It was one of the Oshkosh North graduate’s many eye-popping moments in the playoffs.
He also hit the game-winner to eliminate the Bucks in Game 5 of the first round and made a crazy shot to force overtime and lead a Game 1 win against the New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference finals.
