Milwaukee Bucks player breaks the NBA record

Milwaukee Bucks' leader, Giannis Antetokounmpo, has become the youngest player in NBA history to accumulate over 16,000 points, 7,000 rebounds, and 3,000 assists in his career. Giannis achieved this milestone at the age of 28 years and 347 days.

In the game against Dallas, Antetokounmpo spent 38 minutes on the court, tallying an impressive 40 points, 15 rebounds, 7 assists, and 2 steals.

Previously, the record for the most points accumulated has been held for 16 years by Kevin Garnett, who played for the Minnesota Timberwolves. He reached over 16,000 points, 7,000 rebounds, and 3,000 assists at the age of 29 years and 199 days.

Among the top five in this category are Kareem Abdul-Jabbar of the Lakers (30 years, 354 days), Larry Bird of the Boston Celtics (31 years, 69 days), and LeBron James, who was then with the Cleveland Cavaliers (31 years, 84 days).

Giannis Antetokounmpo commenced his career in Greece and signed with Spain's Zaragoza in 2012. The following year, he announced his participation in the NBA draft, eventually being selected fifteenth overall by the Milwaukee Bucks, where he has continuously played for eleven years.

He is an NBA champion (2021) and the NBA Finals MVP (2021), having been the NBA's Most Valuable Player twice (2019, 2020). Since 2017, he has consistently participated in the NBA All-Star Games.
