“Giannis Antetokounmpo really played only 30 minutes and dropped 32 points and 20 rebounds!?”: NBA Twitter left stunned as the Bucks MVP records a historically unreal statline vs the Magic

Giannis Antetokounmpo stuffed the stat sheet during the Bucks-Magic clash, recording a staggering 32 points, 20 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 blocks, and 2 steals.

Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks hosted the Orlando Magic at the Fiserv Forum, in front of a crowd of 17,000+ fans. A contest that witnessed only 4 lead changes and 4 ties, ended with the defending champs grabbing a comfortable 117-108 win.

It was the Greek Freak who was the star of the night. The 2-time MVP dominated the court on the offensive and defensive end, as usual, while playing only 30 minutes. Stuffing the stat sheet, Giannis put up 32 points, 20 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 blocks, and 2 steals, to help his Bucks grab their 3rd straight win.

Antetokounmpo now becomes the first player in over 60 years to record at least 30 points, 20 rebounds, and 5 assists in lesser than 35 minutes. The last person to do so? Willie Naulls, back in 1959.
