Giannis Antetokounmpo led the Milwaukee Bucks to many epic victories this season, and he managed to set a major milestone against the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday night. He became the franchise’s all-time leading scorer, with a total of 14,216 points. Antetokounmpo broke the record previously held by the legendary Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who scored a total of 14,211 points for the Bucks before joining the Lakers. Even after reaching this milestone, he’s still determined to keep his eye on the prize and win as many games as possible with the team instead of focusing on individual achievements. “I felt like the more humble I get and the more hungry I stay, the more things I can accomplish… So I just got to keep staying humbled, keep trying to make my teammates great, win games, and good things like tonight will happen," said Antetokounmpo. Despite his dominant performance on Thursday, the Bucks didn’t have an easy time defeating the Nets. They barely edged past their opponents in the fourth quarter, but even Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving couldn’t stand their ground to Giannis. He finished the game with 44 points, 14 rebounds, and six assists, leading the Bucks to a 120-119 victory.
