MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- You didn't need the NBA commissioner to tell Milwaukee fans that Giannis Antetokounmpo is the Most Valuable Player. 

His popularity has exploded as his career with the Milwaukee Bucks has progressed. While the fans love him, he's always seemed to love them back. 

"Well I think he's a great player and I think he deserves that, and he is our face of Milwaukee," said one Bucks fan. 

One fan was especially impressed that Giannis won the award two years in a row.

"It shows that he's driven. That he set his mind to accomplish something big and he did it and that should be a great shining example for all of us. To aim big, to dream big and then to work like Hell to do it," said Brandon Wigley, Bucks fan.
