Nine-time All-Star Milwaukee Bucks power forward Giannis Antetokounmpo Milwaukee has made elite NBA history.

The 6-foot-11 big man appeared to put the finishing touches on what has been yet another superlative individual season, leading the Bucks to a 47-34 overall record.

Chamberlain, an absolutely spectacular athlete in his day, posted averages of 33.1 points on 53.1 percent shooting from the field and 51.5 percent shooting from the foul line, 23.6 rebounds (you read that right), and 4.5 assists a game across his first 12 pro seasons, played with the Philadelphia/San Francisco Warriors, Philadelphia 76ers, and Los Angeles Lakers.

The four-time league MVP never averaged fewer than 20.7 points or 18.2 rebounds during this run.

Abdul-Jabbar, meanwhile, averaged 28.1 points on 55.6 percent shooting from the floor and 71.5 percent shooting from the charity stripe and 14.1 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 3.4 blocks and 1.2 steals a night across his first 12 seasons, too, with the Bucks and Lakers.

The former Lew Alcindor never averaged less than 23.8 points or 10.3 rebounds during this span.

This represents quite the achievement for Antetokounmpo, who has shown no signs of slowing down this year. How much longer can he keep this streak up? Time will tell.
