Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks just suffered two brutal losses in a row against the Indiana Pacers. In a home-and-away back-to-back series against Indiana, the Bucks failed to win one. That drops them to losing the season series by a final of 4-1, including the in-season tournament game in Las Vegas.
Needless to say, that was a disheartening start to the week.
After a long buildup to those two games after the game ball incident with the Pacers, the Bucks came out completely flat. It’s frustrating to not figure out how to beat the same team more than once in five games.

There is no question that Antetokounmpo will go down as one of the best players to play in the NBA. He has one of the most unique and dominant skill-sets that we have ever seen.
In his 11th season currently, Antetokounmpo has put up insane numbers across the board for his career. He has totaled 17,295 points, 7,264 rebounds, 3,570 assists, 947 blocks, and 861 steals.
Adding in the fact that he is just 29 years old with plenty of time left in his NBA career and there are plenty more records that he could end up breaking.
While Giannis is not all about personal records, these are impressive accomplishments. He is sure to move up these lists even more as the 2023-24 NBA season continues to move forward.
