Giannis Antetokounmpo’s incredible performance continues to make headlines as he leaves his mark on the Milwaukee Bucks’ franchise history. After recently shattering the team’s record for most points scored in a game with an astonishing 64-point performance, the Greek-Nigerian star has now set his sights on a new target – his teammate Khris Middleton.
Giannis Antetokounmpo Breaks Rebound Record, Aims for Teammate Middleton’s Three-Point Achievement
In a game against the Houston Rockets, Giannis once again etched his name in the record books by surpassing Bucks legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in total rebounds. With a total of 7,165 rebounds, he surpassed Abdul-Jabbar’s longstanding record and solidified his place as one of the greatest players in Bucks history. It is a remarkable achievement for Giannis, who has consistently proven himself as a dominant force on the court.
Despite his milestone night, Giannis didn’t waste any time in setting his sights on his next goal – breaking Middleton’s record for the all-time franchise three-pointers. Currently, Middleton holds the record with an impressive 1,281 three-pointers. However, Giannis is not one to back down from a challenge and took to Instagram to playfully taunt his teammate. He shared a photo of himself attempting a three-pointer with the caption, “Hey @k_mid22, I’m coming for 3’s next.“
Khris Middleton on if he ever thought Giannis would hold all of these franchise records:
"Helllllll nah. Hell nah. Now he's got everything — except for the three ball."
Giannis in the background: "It might take me 20 years, but I'm gonna get it [the three record]."

Giannis Antetokounmpo’s competitive nature and relentless pursuit of greatness have been evident throughout his career. His dedication and work ethic have propelled him to become one of the most dominant players in the NBA today.
