Via The NBA: "Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo combine for 55 PTS to lead the @Bucks to the opening night win in Philly! 🔥

Dame: 30 PTS, 9 REB, 6 AST, 6 3PM Giannis: 25 PTS (8-11 FGM), 14 REB, 7 AST"

After the game, Antetokounmpo made a post to Instagram that had over 60,000 likes and 250 comments in one hour.

The Bucks are expected to be one of the best teams in the NBA this season (if they can remain healthy).

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.
