The Greek Freak of Milwaukee rained down on the Los Angeles Clippers last night. Giannis Antetokounmpo has been sizzling hot in the calendar month. Notably, he had his third fifty-point game in a month alone. In a neck-and-neck battle against the Clippers, the Milwaukee Bucks edged out all thanks to Antetokounmpo’s sublime 54-point night. After the game, the two-time MVP revealed he would celebrate the milestone by getting 50 cheeseburgers. However, this time he changed the restaurant due to one strange reason.

Still young in his career, the Greek Freak has amassed a bag load of accolades. Notably, he is already a two-time MVP, a DPOY, and was even named the All-Star team captain for the third time in his career. In addition, he brought a championship to the city of Milwaukee after half a century by scoring 50 in the series clinching Game 6. Likewise, the franchise rewarded him with plenty. Notably, he signed a five-year $228 million dollar extension.
