“Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is second on a scoring list!”: Giannis Antetokounmpo passes The Big A on a thrilling night against the Nets
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar just got passed by the Greek Freak on the Bucks’ all-time scoring list. The reigning finals MVP wants the crown.
The Bucks’ superstar and possibly the best player in the world, just announced himself in a big, big way. Giannis Antetokounmpo hit a stepback three-pointer to tie the game, with just 18 seconds on the clock.
While Giannis has been incredibly ‘clutch’ his whole career, the key takeaway was that with this very shot, he passed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
14211 points, was the number to beat. It took Kareem around 6 seasons to accomplish this, which is a feat in and of itself.
Giannis is currently sitting at 14216 points. He is only 27 years old. How far can he go? Only time will tell.
Why Kareem Abdul-Jabbar being dethroned by Giannis means a big deal
The Bucks recently picked up their first championship in over 50 years. Giannis is the key to this success.
In the Greek Freak you have a superstar that puts up insane numbers, remains humble, and most importantly is charismatic.
Kareem has been the out-and-out franchise legend. Giannis winning the championship was a good indicator. Last night’s three-pointer, was the final sign.
The Greek Freak is comfortably Milwaukee’s greatest ever player.
Giannis has passed Kareem as the Bucks all time scorer.

All of the franchise’s records are in his grasp. It is only a matter of a season or two before he leads every single statistic for the Bucks.
In the meanwhile, he continues to brandish his charming smile and crack dad jokes. We recently alluded to whether he would quash the Nets first or make a dad joke. It looks like he can do both.
Giannis is a menace on the court but then will hit you with a dad joke postgame. 🤣 pic.twitter.com/IoSvEFwMNJ
