Giannis Antetokounmpo career highs: Running through his best regular season totals

Rebounds: 22 - Bucks @ Bulls on 12/28/22

Giannis Antetokounmpo had one of the most stat-sheet-stuffing games of his career on December 18, 2022, as the Bucks visited their division rival Chicago Bulls. Not only did he put up a monstrous 45 points and seven assists, but he hauled in a career-high 22 rebounds as he tried to carry with load as the Milwaukee Bucks went to the United Center without Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday.

The Greek Freak set the tone right away by getting back-to-back offensive rebounds off his misses, not giving up on the play. He went on to finish with seven offensive rebounds, including an increbibly clutch one in overtime that led to a putback bucket. For the remainder of the contest, he utilized his size, strength and length to battle low and haul in the most boards of his career.

Assists: 16 - Spurs @ Bucks on 12/19/23

The most underrated aspect of Giannis Antetokounmpo's game has always been his passing ability. While it isn't as prominent as his scoring or rebounding, Antetokounmpo has games where one or more of his teammates get hot and he suddenly turns into Magic Johnson. One such game came this past season when the San Antonio Spurs visited the Milwaukee Bucks.

Antetokounmpo struggled to find his own shot, so he served as a facilitator, earning four assists from Damian Lillard, who shot 5-of-8 off passes from Giannis and finished with 40 points, four from Bobby Portis, who was a perfect 5-of-5 off Antetokounmpo passes, and three from Khris Middleton, who shot 3-of-5 on such passes, per NBA.com. It's always nice to see Antetokounmpo show his versatility.
