Antetokounmpo’s Game of the Season

There’s certainly many signature games to choose from this year for Antetokounmpo, but his performance on March 13th against the Brooklyn Nets might be the best of all.

We had already seen what Antetokounmpo was capable of doing as the Bucks lead ball handler as he already amassed three triple-doubles in the few weeks after the All-Star break.

However, Antetokounmpo’s play against the Nets that night was in full force right from the opening tip.

All night long, Antetokounmpo terrorized the Nets by making highlight after highlight worthy plays (including the insane fake on Shane Larkin that led to a spectacular gyro-dunk).

In fact, in the first half alone, Antetokounmpo was only an assist and two rebounds from garnering a triple-double, which he later completed in the third quarter.

What made the game even more special was that when things got close in the fourth quarter, Antetokounmpo was the one that led the Bucks to eventually topping the Nets by winning 109-100.

You honestly can’t go wrong with any big game from Antetokounmpo this season, but his outing against the Nets that mid-March night will be one to remember for a long time.
