Giannis Antetokounmpo becomes Bucks’ historic scorer in victory over the Nets

Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 44 points in the victory of the Milwaukee Bucks (48-28) about the Brooklyn Nets (40-37) by a score of 120-119 and became the leading scorer in franchise history.

Antetokounmpo superó a Kareem Abdul-Jabbar who had held the mark since 1975 with 14,211 points, on the Bucks’ all-time scoring list with a step-back three-pointer that tied the score at 110 and forced extra time. The Greek reached 14,214 with the triple.

The Greek stopped scoring in extra time to focus on distributing the ball and finding his teammates unmarked. With three seconds to play, Antetokounmpo put the Bucks ahead by hitting two free throws and set the final marker.

The difference between Giannis and Kareem’s achievement is the number of matches. Abdul-Jabbar only needed 467 games, averaging 42.7 minutes, with the Bucks to match that record. In contrast, the ‘Greek Freak’ has played 652 commitments, with 32.5 minutes, including today.
