TOP 10 Greatest Games of Giannis Antetokounmpo

Giannis Antetokounmpo is, undoubtly, one of the greatest NBA players right now. He has won the Most Valuable Player award in 2018-19, and managed to increase not only his points per game in every season of his seven-year career, but his rebounds as well. Throughout his Milwaukee Bucks career, the Greek Freak had some incredible moments, and here are the top 10 greatest Giannis Antetokounmpo games. 10. December 19th, 2019 vs Los Angeles Lakers: Career-high 5 threes and crowned himself vs LeBron This was one of the most amazing games in his career. Giannis took it upon himself to take the crown from LeBron James, as he made a career-high five three-pointers. The aftermath of one of them went viral as he crowned himself on his way to the bench following a Lakers’ timeout. The Bucks went home with the win as Antetokounmpo finished the game with 34 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists on five of eight shooting from downtown. 9.February 6th, 2019 vs Washington Wizards: 43 points on 17-for-21 shooting Giannis Antetokounmpo against Washington Wizards Getty Images The Greek Freak  had the most efficient scoring night of his career, finishing with 43 points to go along with six rebounds and four assists. This was the eighth 40-point game of his career, but the way he did it was nothing other than domination. He made 17 shots while only missing four, including nailing all three of his looks behind the arc. 8.

The Bucks' superstar finished the game with 27 points on 8-of-16 shooting from the field and went to the free throw line 14 times (making 11 of them). Although it was just an average scoring night, he did most of his damage on the boards where he collected 21 total rebounds–a mark that’s still a career-high to this day. 7.

And by putting up a 24-19-15 line, he became just the fourth player in league history to do so, joining the like of Larry Bird, Wilt Chamberlin and Oscar Robertson. Not bad company for the future Hall of Famer. 4. March 1st, 2020 at Charlotte Hornets: 41 points, 20 rebounds, 6 assists Giannis Antetokounmpo vs Charlotte Hornets Getty Images Giannis single-handedly carried the Milwaukee to victory over a Hornets team.

He finished 17-for-28 from the field (60.7 percent), 1-for-4 from downtown and six-for-seven from the free throw line. 3. January 4th, 2017 at New York Knicks: Game-winning buzzer-beater Giannis vs New York Knicks Getty Images During this game Antetokounmpo announced his arrival on the national scene. Milwaukee entered the fourth quarter trailing by a whopping 14 points (73-87), but immediately started to mount a comeback. The Greek Freak took over, with scoring 13 points over the last 6:22 including nine of the Bucks’ 10 points in the final three minutes of the game. He finished the contest with 27 points and 13 rebounds, but the most memorable two points came on a last-second, step-back shot to win the game as time expired. 2. November 25th, 2019 vs Utah Jazz: 50 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists Giannis vs Utah Jazz Getty Images Antetokounmpo was incredible on the night, having his will without Gobert available for Utah. He made 17 of his 31 shot attempts including three-for-eight from downtown and 13-of-19 from the free throw line. It didn’t matter who Utah put on him, he was out to send a message. 1. March 17th, 2019 vs Philadelphia 76ers: 52 points, 16 rebounds, 7 assists Giannis vs 76ers Getty Images This game was known as the infamous “Baby” game.

And, the most memorable moment of the game came with under two minutes remaining and Milwaukee trailing 118-111. Source- DairyLand Express
