Giannis Antetokounmpo Became Just The Second Player In NBA History To Do This

Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo made incredible NBA history with his performance during the 2022-23 regular season.

Just putting a bow on his tenth NBA season, Giannis Antetokounmpo is looking to take the Milwaukee Bucks to the NBA Finals once again. 

Antetokounmpo had yet another MVP-like season for the Bucks and having one of the best statistical seasons of his career, Giannis became just the second player in NBA history to achieve a rare feat. 

Averaging 31.1 points, 11.8 rebounds, and 5.7 assists while shooting 55.3 percent from the floor this season, Giannis Antetokounmpo joined Wilt Chamberlain as the only other player in league history to average at least 30 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists in a single season while shooting at least 50 percent from the floor. 

Only 2 players in NBA history have averaged 30+ PPG, 10+ RPG, and 5+ APG on 50%+ shooting in a season.

What is even more impressive is that Giannis became the first player to average said numbers while shooting at least 55 percent from the floor. 

Any time you are being mentioned in the same conversation as Wilt Chamberlain, you are doing something right on the basketball court and that is certainly the case with Antetokounmpo, as many tend to call him the best basketball player in the entire world.
