The Milwaukee Bucks improved to 20-9 on the season with a 128-111 win over the Golden State Warriors (14-14). The team was led, of course, by Giannis Antetokounmpo, who had 30 points, 12 rebounds, and five assists. A two-time NBA MVP and one-time Defensive Player of the Year, Giannis is already considered to be the greatest player in Bucks history. However, Giannis added just one more line to his Hall of Fame resume in the Bucks’ dominating victory over the Warriors.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Now Bucks All-Time Leader in Minutes Played
In the Bucks win over the Warriors, Giannis played just 30 minutes. However, that was enough to give him 22,114 minutes in a Milwaukee uniform. That put him ahead of Hall of Famer Bob Dandridge, who had 22,094 career minutes with the Bucks. Dandridge played for the Bucks from 1969-1977 and again from 1981-82. In nine seasons with the Bucks, Dandridge averaged 18.6 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 3.2 assists. He helped the Bucks win their first NBA Championship in 1971, and won another one with the Washington Bullets in 1978. Dandridge was inducted into the Hall of Fame last year.
Giannis is now the Bucks all-time leader in several categories:
- Minutes played (22,114 and counting)
- Free throws (3,672 and counting)
- Free throw attempts (5,150 and counting)
- Defensive rebounds (5,243 and counting)
- Blocks (879 and counting)
- Turnovers (1,971 and counting)
- Points (15,036 and counting)
- True shooting percentage (.603)
- Usage percentage (28.4)
- Value over replacement player (45.1)
Bob Dandridge still holds the Bucks’ record for most fouls committed. He had 2,253 fouls in his nine seasons in Milwaukee. Giannis is currently second in franchise history in that category with 2,053.
