Khris Middleton made history again on Monday night as he helped his team secure a 122-113 victory over the Detroit Pistons. The 33-year-old logged his 12,012th point for the Bucks, which has now made him third all-time in the franchise scoring list.
It was an undeniably special occasion for the three-time All-Star, and it comes as no surprise that the supporters have been singing his praises on social media.
Milwaukee Bucks Fans React to Khris Middleton’s Scoring Milestone
Earlier this season, Middleton passed Michael Redd and Sidney Moncrief as he continued to climb the scoring leaderboard. This time around, it’s another Bucks icon that he has overtaken after he took the No. 3 spot from the great Glenn Robinson.
Middleton’s history-making bucket came via a crucial 3-pointer late in the final quarter of Monday night’s victory:

Right now, the only two names that are above Middleton on the scoring leaderboard are Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (14,211) and Giannis Antetokounmpo (17,588). It goes without saying that Middleton has etched himself in Bucks history alongside some of the biggest legends that have ever played for this franchise.
The fans on Twitter had nothing but high praise for the 32-year-old amid his latest milestone:
