Giannis Antetokounmpo scored a commanding 54 points against the Los Angeles Clippers, demonstrating once more why he is regarded as the best player in the world. After Greek Freak’s latest outstanding performance, former NBA player Kendrick Perkins had nothing but appreciation for him.
Perkins praised Giannis Antetokounmpo on Twitter for his performance, “It’s not what you do… It’s how you do it! This performance that Giannis put on tonight mimic his Game 6 performance in the Finals! He reminded us again why he’s the BEST PLAYER in the WORLD. Carry the hell on…”
The Milwaukee Bucks overcame a 21-point deficit to defeat the Los Angeles Clippers 106-105 on Thursday night, marking their sixth straight victory. Antetokounmpo scored 20 of his 54 points in the fourth quarter.
In three of his last 11 games, the Greek has at least 50 points. On January 3 in a 123-113 victory against Washington, he posted a career-high 55 points. On Sunday, in a 135-110 victory over New Orleans, he scored 50 points in just 30 minutes.
Antetokounmpo has averaged 40.2 points and 14.5 rebounds over his last six games. His two free throws with 1:47 left in the game gave Milwaukee its first lead since the second quarter, 106-105, as the Bucks scored the game’s last seven points.
Giannis Antetokounmpo joins Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the record books
Giannis Antetokounmpo’s 54 points were the second-highest scoring total of his career. Antetokounmpo had just three 50-point performances to his name prior to this season; he has now scored three in the previous month. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is the only other player in Bucks franchise history to have as many games with 50 points in a season.
“It’s a great compliment to be up there with Kareem,” Antetokounmpo said. “I never thought I’m gonna score 50 in the NBA when I got drafted. It’s an insane, crazy journey. I finish the game when I score 50, I’m like, ‘What the hell just happened?’ It’s insane. It’s a lot of hard work, a lot of self-belief, and being up there with somebody like Kareem that played in this franchise, it’s a great compliment.”
“Every day, grateful for him, this organization, this city,” Budenholzer said. “The crowd tonight was awesome, the appreciation. But he’s just incredibly special. Fifty is so tough in this league, and I’ve never been around anybody who’s done it three times in a season. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is an icon in our league. Giannis is building our legacy; I’m glad to have a great seat to watch it.”
