Giannis Antetokounmpo was a man among boys on Thursday night. The Milwaukee Bucks superstar showed why he's the defending champion and two-time MVP, much to the delight of Kyle Kuzma.

The Washington Wizards forward just had to give it up to the Bucks star on Twitter.

“This dude really a animal attack mode every single night. 1of1,” said Kuzma of the Bucks star.

Giannis Antetokounmpo was all kinds of dominant against the Nets. The Bucks star poured in 44 points on a sterling 14-for-21 shooting clip from the field. But beyond just the box score numbers, the Greek Freak simply imposed his will all throughout the game. Every putback dunk, every midrange jumper was a backbreaker for a Nets side that couldn't keep him contained.

He also made Bucks history in the most emphatic way possible, drilling a three-pointer to tie the game in regulation that thrust him right ahead of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for sole possession of the franchise's all-time scoring record.

When it comes to the title conversation, the Bucks aren't the sexiest pick after already winning it all last season. But if Giannis Antetokounmpo continues to play at the level he's shown when the lights are brightest, a repeat isn't out of the question.
