The 24-year-old is putting up MVP-type numbers this season while leading his Bucks to the best record in the Eastern Conference. Milwaukee entered Saturday with a record of 37-13.
Antetokounmpo is averaging 26.4 points, 12.6 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game for Milwaukee. The now three-time All-Star is shooting 57.3 percent from the field, 20.2 percent from beyond the arc and 70.6 percent from the free-throw line.
It's amazing how Giannis is able to dominate the game when he still doesn't have a reliable jump shot.
Antetokounmpo scored 525 points during his rookie season. Since then, he's eclipsed 1,000 points every single season. Giannis scored 2,014 points during the regular season in 2017-18 and will likely pass that number this season.
The next milestone for Antetokounmpo to accomplish is joining the 2,000-assist club. He entered Saturday with 1,775 career assists. Antetokounmpo is one of the most selfless superstars in the league and is always looking to make his teammates better.
