Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo was just named a member of the All-NBA First Team for the fourth year running. The cherry on top of the cake for the former back-to-back MVP is that this also happens to be the fourth year he's been voted into the First Team unanimously.
With this recent achievement, the Bucks star now stands alone as the only player in NBA history to be unanimously named to the All-NBA First Team for four straight seasons. Not even LeBron James or Michael Jordan achieved this stunning feat (h/t NBA Retweet on Twitter):
Giannis Antetokounmpo became the first player to EVER be voted to the All-NBA first team unanimously 4 years in a row.
Only 3 other players have done it 3 years straight, Michael Jordan, LeBron James and James Harden.

James Harden joins LeBron and MJ as the only players who did it three times in a row. However, Giannis Antetokounmpo has now gone four straight — an achievement that has never before been seen in the history of the NBA. Clearly, this speaks volumes of how dominant the Greek Freak has been for the Bucks over the past four seasons.
If you ask him, however, I'm pretty sure Giannis won't be putting too much stock into this. Individual awards are nice, but at the end of the day, it's winning championships that matter the most for the Bucks superstar.
