The Bucks are expected to be one of the best teams in the NBA this season (if they can remain healthy).
Following their victory over the 76ers, they will play their next game on Friday evening when they host Coby White and the Chicago Bulls in Wisconsin.
Antetokounmpo is coming off another sensational year where he averaged 30.4 points, 11.5 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.1 blocks per contest while shooting 61.1% from the field and 27.4% from the three-point range in 73 games.
However, he got injured and did not play in the NBA playoffs.
At this stage of Antetokounmpo's career, he will only be judged by how well his teams during the postseason.
