Giannis Antetokounmpo became the first player in the history of the NBA to finish a regular season in the Top 20 of all (yes… ALL) five major statistical categories.
Points, rebounds, assists, blocks, steals…. you name it! “The Greek Freak” has simply provided the most…. Freak-ishly versatile all-around game that the league has ever seen and the numbers are there to testify for it in case you consider this an exaggeration.
The Milwaukee Bucks point-forward completed the regular season as 14th top scorer (1832 points in total, 22.9 p.p.g.), 15th top rebounder (700 in total, 8.8 r.p.g.) and 18th in assists (434, 5.4 a.p.g.).
When it comes exclusively to the defensive end Giannis blocked 151 shots (1.9 b.p.g.) in total finishing 5th in the related list and stole the ball 121 times (1.6 s.p.g.), with the end of the regular season finding him at the 8th spot among the top “thiefs” in the NBA.
