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

Steals: 5 - Done 10 times

A former Defensive Player of the Year winner, Antetokounmpo has always been a strong defender in about every regard. One thing he does exceptionally well is generate steals, hounding opponents and having active hands. On 10 separate occasions, he's notched five steals in a single game, ranging all the way from 2015 to this past season.

Most recently, Antetokounmpo compiled five steals in one of the most complete games of his career against the Dallas Mavericks this past season. On February 2, he finished with a line of 48 points, 10 assists, six rebounds, five steals and a blocked shot. Perhaps this will be the season that he eclipses that mark and sets a new career high.

Blocks: 7 - Bucks @ Bulls on 12/31/16

At first, it was a bit surprising to see that the top three block totals in Giannis Antetokounmpo's career came in 2016, 2017 and 2018. However, all three of them came before Brook Lopez was in town, so it makes sense that Antetokounmpo was doing the heavy lifting as a shot-blocker. His best effort came in late December of 2016, where he tallied seven blocks against the Chicago Bulls.

Antetokounmpo's potential was on full display in that game, and he set the tone right away with a pair of blocks on the same possession within the first few minutes. He particularly had success against veteran Taj Gibson, sending several of his shots flying away from the hoop. All of that goes without even mentioning that he had 35 points, nine rebounds, eight assists and two steals as well.
