Milwaukee Bucks superstar swingman Giannis Antetokounmpo has eight games with at least 30 points, 15 rebounds and five assists this season.
That's the most such games in a single season since Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar also had eight for the Los Angeles Lakers in the 1977-78 season.

On the season, Giannis Antetokounmpo is averaging 27.1 points, 12.6 rebounds and 6.0 assists per game. The three-time All-Star is shooting 58.0 percent from the field, 24.2 percent from beyond the arc and 72.0 percent from the free-throw line.
The Greek Freak has 49 double-doubles and five triple-doubles on the season.
Giannis has guided the Bucks to the best record in the NBA at 52-17. He is widely expected to win the MVP award since he's been stellar since day one of the season.
The fact that Antetokounmpo is dominating the league without a 3-point shot is amazing. In a league where 3-point shooting is paramount, Giannis is proving that when you can get to the rim with ease like he does, you don't need a perimeter game to be the best player in the NBA.
Anytime you're mentioned with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, you are doing something right. Giannis is looking to lead Milwaukee to the NBA Finals for the first time since 1974. Ironically, Abdul-Jabbar was on that Bucks team.
