Giannis Antetokounmpo Breaks Another Historic Record, Solidifies His Legacy as the Best in Bucks History

Giannis Antetokounmpo continues to make history in the NBA, further cementing his place as the greatest player in Milwaukee Bucks history.

In a thrilling performance against the San Antonio Spurs, the Greek superstar delivered a double-double with 25 points and 16 rebounds, leading the Bucks to victory while surpassing yet another iconic record held by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

This latest achievement adds to a growing list of milestones for Antetokounmpo, who has already surpassed Abdul-Jabbar in several key categories. Just a year ago, in December 2023, Giannis surpassed Abdul-Jabbar’s career rebound total, grabbing 17 boards in a game against the Houston Rockets, bringing his career total to 7,162.

The new record? With his double-double performance yesterday, Antetokounmpo now holds the most double-doubles in Bucks history, with 432. Abdul-Jabbar, the former legend of the team, had held this record for decades. Giannis has also shattered other Bucks records, including most points scored in a game (64), most career points (18,502), most assists (3,855), and most blocks (986).

While Antetokounmpo’s dominance in Milwaukee is undeniable, one major record remains out of reach: Abdul-Jabbar’s remarkable 34.8 points per game average. However, with Antetokounmpo leading the NBA in scoring this season with an impressive 31.3 points per game, fans are hopeful that the Greek Freak’s momentum and health could bring him closer to this milestone.

As Giannis continues to rewrite the Bucks' record books, his legendary career is only just getting started, with many more records and achievements likely to come in the years ahead.
