The stock of Giannis Antetokounmpo just seems to go higher and higher. After winning his first NBA championship and Finals MVP, Giannis cemented his place as the best player in the league. And he has produced another MVP level season and has led the Bucks to the second seed in the East. And on Thursday he broke another record.

Giannis passed Kareem Abdul Jabbar to become the franchise leader in points. Kareem played with the Bucks for six seasons, while averaging over 30 points a game. Meanwhile, Giannis has played for nine seasons, as he took his time to become the face of the franchise. The development of Giannis has been unbelievable. He was a rotation player, and he slowly grew into an All-Star. Then with Mike Budenholzer as his head coach, Giannis produced back-to-back MVP seasons. And last year, he won his first NBA title and Finals MVP.

How did the Greek Freak become the franchise leader in points?

When Giannis made his debut, he showed signs of promise, but no one expected him to become this. He developed slowly in his second and third years. But by his fourth year, he was an all-star. And the way he played amazed everyone. Giannis did not have a reliable jump shot, but he was a freight train that could not be stopped. He was quick, long, and agile and could jump out of the building.

But he did not enjoy the same level of success in the playoffs. However, it all changed last year, as Giannis dominated in the playoffs and led the Bucks to their first title in 50 years. Giannis capped off his amazing run with a 50 point performance in pivotal game 6.
