Published 10/23/2022, 6:00 AM EDT

On Sunday night the Milwaukee Bucks registered their second win of the season against the Houston Rockets. Giannis Antetokounmpo, the man leading from the front, demonstrated why he is known as the Greek Freak. Antetokounmpo recorded 44 Points, 12 Rebounds, and an 81% field goal percentage in just 27 minutes, leaving NBA fans in utter disbelief.

And what a comeback for the Bucks, who had lost all five of their preseason games. After a two-point victory over the Philadelphia 76ers in their first regular-season game, the Bucks trounced the Rockets on Sunday night, winning by 20 points. Unsurprisingly, the power forward doesn’t look to be slowing down anytime soon.

Jalen Green and Kevin Porter Jr were the key performers for the Houston Rockets. Giannis Antetokounmpo, on the other hand, dominated the night. The contribution of Jrue Holiday was also commendable. He scored 19 points, 5 rebounds, and 10 assists during his 32 minutes on the court.

NBA fans in shock to see the domination of Giannis Antetokounmpo

There were several debates before the start of the regular season comparing the two best power forwards this season, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Anthony Davis.

ESPN stats and info posted a tweet regarding the statline. The caption said, “Giannis Antetokounmpo recorded his 4th career game with 40 pts & 10 reb on 80% shooting, more than the rest of the league combined since he made his debut in 2013. Only Wilt Chamberlain has more such career games with 7.” In addition, the fans seem to be in disbelief. One of the fans said, “And people tried to say AD was better.”

Here are some of the reactions from NBA Twitter:
