Giannis Antetokounmpo once again proves that he should be part of the conversation when you're talking about the greatest to ever play in the NBA. In Game 3 against the Phoenix Suns, the Milwaukee Bucks superstar's first three quarters were historic, punching himself in the history books as just the fourth player in the last 25 years to get to 30-10-5.

In just 36 minutes of game time, Giannis punched in 34 points, 12 boards, and six dimes joining an elite club of all-time greats including Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan, LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers, and Kevin Durant of the Brooklyn Nets (via Bleacher Report).

Take a bow, Giannis.

 

In a must-win Game 3, the two-time MVP went deep in his bag and put the franchise on his back. As part of his insane stat line, Antetokounmpo also shot an efficient 11-of-18 from the field and an impressive 12-of-15 from the line. So much for a guy who's seven feet tall who just runs and dunks.

Giannis went to work on Sunday, especially in the third. After the Bucks went on a late run to close out the first half, Antetokounmpo exploded in the third quarter with 20 huge points to blow the game up and spearhead a 38-point quarter for Milwaukee.

With his left knee being less than 100% after a scary injury in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Atlanta Hawks, the five-time All-Star isn't shying away from the challenge and has been nothing short of impressive in his first-ever NBA Finals stint.
