Giannis Antetokounmpo Passes LeBron James on Historic List

The Milwaukee Bucks dominated the Denver Nuggets on Monday night, and superstar forward Giannis Antetokounmpo led the way with 36 points, 18 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 steals.

With his 209th career game with at least 30 points and 10 rebounds, Antetokounmpo passed LeBron James for the 11th most such games in NBA history (including playoffs).

While the playoffs are not typically included when discussing all-time statistical lists, it can be interesting to see where certain players rank on lists that do include them.

For Antetokounmpo, he has played 771 career regular season games and 79 career postseason games. James has played 1,469 career regular season games and 282 career playoff games

While Antetokounmpo is of course a big man, making him more likely than James to ascend up lists that include rebounding, passing the Los Angeles Lakers star on any statistical list is impressive, especially in so many fewer games played.

Already an all-time great at age 29, Antetokounmpo is a future Hall-of-Famer, and one of the best players the game has seen. While Antetokounmpo has the stats to back up his case as an all-time great, he also has the accolades as an 8x All-Star, 7x All-NBA team member, 2x MVP, and 1x Finals MVP.
