Giannis Antetokounmpo shocked the NBA world on Wednesday after he recorded the most points in Bucks history and a career-high of 64 points in a 140-126 win over the Pacers.
Incredibly, he also bagged 14 rebounds, four steals on 71 percent shooting from the field.
After breaking the record, Giannis was filmed on the bench and he said to the camera, “It’s not easy. This is what I f**cking do.”
The game had a bizarre ending with the Pacers not wanting Giannis to have the game ball, and the Greak Freak ended up sprinting up the tunnel to come back and have words with the Pacers players and staff.
“Indiana Pacers took the game ball away after Giannis Antetokounmpo’s 64-point game,” B/R’s Chris Haynes posted on X. “A furious Antetokounmpo took off for the Pacers’ locker room to attempt at retrieving the ball. It is unclear if he got the ball back.”

Back in 2021, Giannis said to Michael Redd “One day I’m going to break your record”
Tonight, he did it.

Whenever Giannis heard about Michael Redd’s franchise high 57 vs Utah, he would always whisper, “I will beat that.”
Tonight he no longer has to whisper!— Jim Paschke (@Paschketball) December 14, 2023
