On Monday evening, the Milwaukee Bucks hosted the Chicago Bulls in Wisconsin for their third preseason game.

The Bucks won by a score of 111-107 to improve to 1-2 in the preseason.

Two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo finished his night with 24 points, 10 rebounds and four assists while shooting 6/13 from the field in 23 minutes of playing time.

Via The Bucks: "These guys had it going from the jump last night.

Giannis: 24 PTS, 10 REB, 4 AST
Dame: 20 PTS, 9 AST, 5 REB"

After the game, Antetokounmpo made a post to Instagram that had over 250,000 likes and 800 comments in less than 24 hours.

Many fans left comments reacting to Antetokounmpo gifting his jersey and shoes to young fans after the game.
