Mike Budenholzer has seen a lot of greatness out of Giannis Antetokounmpo. He has won an NBA Finals with him and has seen countless amazing performances. Giannis put on another show last night scoring 55 points and adding 10 rebounds. After the game, the Bucks’ head coach was lost for words.

Mike Budenholzer Is Lost For Words After Giannis’ 55-Point Game
There are only so many words in the English language and Budenholzer is running out of ways to describe what he sees on a nightly basis. “It’s hard to come up with all the words to describe him,” the Bucks’ head coach said after the game. This masterpiece comes on the heels of back-to-back games where Antetokounmpo scored 40+ points and 20+ rebounds. As a fan, just when it seems like Giannis cannot top his last performance, he does.
Keeping The Bucks Afloat
The Bucks need every bit of these performances. Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday have been out with injuries meaning the already struggling offense is even more handicapped. While the Bucks are not in any danger of missing the playoffs, seeding is important and these games are keeping the Bucks in the conversation for the top seed in the Eastern Conference. The team does not really need to worry about a push until after the all-star break. At this point in the season, the Bucks are getting a good look at some young players while also staying amongst the top teams in the East.
Giannis is not must-watch television. He seems to be able to show us something amazing every night. This could go down as a historic season if he keeps putting up these kinds of numbers.
