Giannis Antetokounmpo Sets Historic NBA Record, Surpassing Chamberlain

Giannis Antetokounmpo has set another NBA record, finishing the 2024–25 regular season with numbers no other player has reached.

The Greek Freak’s stat lines had already put him in the company of two of the NBA’s greatest. Giannis averaged 30.4 points, 11.9 rebounds, and 6.5 assists across 67 games. This marks his third straight season with at least 30 points, 10 rebounds, and 5 assists per game—a stat line only matched twice by NBA legends Wilt Chamberlain and Oscar Robertson.

Surpassing Wilt Chamberlain and Oscar Robertson’s historic mark

Chamberlain accomplished the feat in the 1963–64 and 1965–66 seasons. Robertson did it in 1960–61 and 1961–62. Giannis Antetokounmpo has surpassed them, becoming the first player in league history to achieve these numbers in three separate and consecutive seasons.

A dominant and consistent three-year stretch

The 30-year-old star has consistently delivered top-tier performances over the last three seasons. His stat lines speak for themselves:

• 2024–25: 34.2 minutes, 30.4 points, 11.9 rebounds, 6.5 assists
• 2023–24: 35.2 minutes, 30.4 points, 11.5 rebounds, 6.5 assists
• 2022–23: 32.1 minutes, 31.1 points, 11.8 rebounds, 5.7 assists

Among the league’s best again in 2025

Antetokounmpo’s scoring average this season ranks second in the league behind Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who posted 32.7 points per game. Antetokounmpo placed third overall in rebounds, following Karl-Anthony Towns and Nikola Jokic.

From skinny rookie to an NBA powerhouse

Selected 15th overall in the 2013 NBA Draft, Antetokounmpo entered the league as a little-known prospect from Greece.

He was raw but full of potential, standing at 6-foot-9 and weighing just 190 pounds. Over time, he added size, strength, and skill, becoming one of the most dominant players in the modern game.

His growth has helped fuel the Milwaukee club’s turnaround. Once a struggling team, the Bucks have become a consistent playoff threat under Antetokounmpo’s leadership. He won MVP honors in 2019 and 2020, followed by an NBA title in 2021—the franchise’s first in 50 years.

Reliability and leadership in Milwaukee’s success

Antetokounmpo is also known for his resilience. Despite a demanding schedule and roster changes, he has remained one of the most reliable and dominant players in the league.

His strength, speed, and leadership combination have helped keep Milwaukee among the top contenders in the Eastern Conference.

From Athens to NBA greatness

A two-time MVP and 2021 NBA champion, Antetokounmpo continues to raise the bar. His rise from a street vendor in Greece to a global sports icon is well known. For fans in his home country, his success represents national pride and the power of perseverance.

The Bucks begin their playoff run on April 19 against the Indiana Pacers. With Antetokounmpo leading the way, Milwaukee hopes to add another title to its history—and he might add another chapter to his own.
