It’s not just Giannis Antetokounmpo who has been making history. Last week against the Indiana Pacers, the Milwaukee Bucks talisman tallied a career-high 64 points to become the record-holder for the most points in a single game in franchise history. Giannis followed it up by becoming the all-time rebound leader for the Bucks on Sunday, surpassing the great Kareem-Abdul Jabbar for the esteemed record. On Tuesday, however, it was Damian Lillard’s turn to take the spotlight.
Lillard entered Tuesday’s showdown against the Spurs needing just six points to become just the 51st player in NBA history to score 20,000 points in his career. Dame did just that in the opening four minutes of Tuesday’s contest against San Antonio:
only an elite group of players has or will ever reach 20,000 points in their career. This is an undeniably significant milestone for Lillard which is why it comes as no surprise that the NBA world has been buzzing hard on social media:
Tensions between the Bucks and Pacers came to a head over a game ball, of all things. After Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 64 points in the Bucks’ 140-126 win on Wednesday, he rushed toward the Pacers locker room in search of the game ball. The Greek Freak, along with several Bucks teammates, got into a “fracas” in the hallway, during which one of the Bucks bruised the ribs of Pacers general manager Chad Buchanan.
