Giannis Antetokounmpo added another milestone to his illustrious career during the Milwaukee Bucks’ game against the LA Clippers in California.
Antetokounmpo had 30 points, ten rebounds, one assist and one block while shooting 10/18 from the field in his first 29 minutes of playing time.
He also made NBA history.
Via AfroBallers: "Giannis Antetokounmpo has passed Bernard King (19,655) to move up to No. 53 on the NBA’s all-time scoring list."
At just 30, the two-time MVP will have a lot more time to keep climbing the all-time scoring list.
Following King, the next player for him to pass will be Hall of Famer John Stockton (19,711).
Antetokounmpo came into play with averages of 31.3 points, 12.0 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 1.4 blocks per contest while shooting 60.3% from the field in 36 games.
