Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo played in his second All-Star Game on Sunday night in Los Angeles, racking up highlights in the process.

In what was one of the most exciting All-Star Games in recent memory, Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo just came out on the losing side on Sunday in Los Angeles.

As a member of Stephen Curry‘s Team Stephen, Antetokounmpo and his teammates were narrowly edged out due to some intense defense from LeBron James and his Team LeBron in the game’s closing minutes.

Antetokounmpo, Curry and Co. had spent most of the game playing with a comfortable lead, but in a refreshing change from years past, the NBA’s biggest stars locked in and competed late on to provide an entertaining spectacle for the fans.

Having set a Bucks franchise record with his 30-point tally on his All-Star debut in New Orleans last season, Antetokounmpo couldn’t quite reach those dizzying heights again on this occasion.

Still, Antetokounmpo played well, finishing with 16 points, seven rebounds and two assists, on 6-of-14 shooting from the field and 4-of-6 from the free throw line.

Of course, beyond the box score, Antetokounmpo had more than his fair share of memorable plays and moments in his second All-Star Game too.

Let’s take a look at some of Giannis’ highlights from the NBA’s marquee event on Sunday.
