Giannis Antetokounmpo has joined basketball greats Michael Jordan (Chicago Bulls), LeBron James (Cleveland Cavaliers) and Kevin Garnett (Minnesota Timberwolves) as the only players to lead a franchise in all three categories -- points, rebounds and assists. The Nigerian-Greek, often known as "Greek Freak", recorded 26 points and 17 rebounds in the Milwaukee Bucks’ 128-119 home victory over the Houston Rockets on Sunday night. The 29-year-old power forward, in the process, surpassed legendary Abdul-Jabbar as the team's career rebounding leader. Damian Lillard also scored 39 points for the winners in their 26th National Basketball Association (NBA) 2023-24 regular season match. The win helped the Bucks end the Rockets’ five-match winning streak and move to the second spot in the Eastern Conference, behind the Boston Celtics.
