Yannis Antocompo received 85 votes for the MVP title last night (Friday).

The Milwaukee star also won it, for the second time in a row, while LeBron James settled for just 16 votes.

Well, the Greek freak has long been at home after a humiliating relegation from the playoffs, and the Los Angeles Lakers star is not stopping.

Tonight provided 15 points, 12 assists and 6 rebounds and helped his team beat Denver 114: 126 and advance to 0-1 in the Western Conference Finals.



"It pissed me off," he admitted after the leisurely victory.

"That's the truth. It pissed me off, because out of 101 votes for first place, I got only 16. That's what pissed me off most of all. I'm not saying the winner is not worthy of the title, but it pissed me off. "NBA or as the deputy MVP. But I'm fine. We lead 0: 1 in the Western Conference final, now I will return to my room, drink wine and sleep well at night. Let's not get confused - excellent situation."

Still, King James expanded on the subject and also recalled some past cases where he claimed he deserved the title, and finally saw someone else win it: "In 2012/13 I had a chance to win the title of defensive player of the season and MVP that season. Then Mark Gasol won, but he was also only in the second five defenses of the season. Okay, that does not really make sense. It's like you won the MVP, and was selected in the second five of the season. Then I started looking at things differently, does that even make sense?



"Brandon Ingram won the title The improving player of the season, and rightly so, he was amazing and I think he should have won.

But have you seen how much Devonta Graham got?

He had 4 points per game last season, this time 17.5.

If this is not a story what is?

"The way people vote is a little weird to me sometimes, I don't know how much they really see basketball or that all they care about is the story."

Anthony Davis, who provided his own MVP display with 37 points (12 from 21 from the field, 12 from 15 from the line) and 10 rebounds in 33 minutes, added: "There is no question at all that he deserves the title. If we take him out of our team, we absorb "If you look at all the things he does for our team every game, there is no question here at all. It's like choosing the MVP before the season starts. LeBron is the best player in the league, for me there is no MVP here."



The inside player who did not leave the Nuggets a chance in Game 1 claimed that the media are not doing a good enough job, and the players should also be allowed to vote for the end-of-season awards: "I think the players can be included, definitely. We are the ones who really play against these players. "You see a lot of players say LeBron is the MVP. They play against him night after night and see what he brings us. I think the players should get weight in the votes too."

And there was also a game, in which LeBron's team looked determined, alert and ready - unlike the first games in the series against Portland and Houston.

"We want to be the most physical team, in contact with the opponent," Frank Vogel said.

"And we are physical. We have big, strong guys, and also speed."



It was this physicality that stopped Nikola Jukic on 21 points, and it was she who made him get involved in a foul problem and get out of the game.

The X Factor was Dwight Howard, who scored 13 points and added 2 steals, 2 blocks and an excellent Denver star defense.

"Every time I go up to the floor I want to make him know I'm there," the former defensive player of the season said.

On the other hand, both Jokic and Jamal Marie got into trouble problems.

At the end, the guard referred to the many whistles received by the opponent: "We knew this was going to be the case. We know we are the younger team, and we will have to deal with it. Find a way, we do not give up so easily."
