He recalled learning about the deal during a team bus ride, when he noticed Middleton wasn’t in his usual seat behind him.</p><p>“For me it was very weird. You know, I’m not on social media – he knows too. Like, I don’t follow what’s going on. I don’t have Shams in my notifications like other players,” Antetokounmpo said.</p><p>“It was the team bus – we had the game in Charlotte I think, or I don’t know where it was… and Khris always sits behind me, right? These last couple of years he’s always behind me on the right side. So, I’m like, ‘Hey, hey, hold on Khris?’ They told me, ‘Hey man, he got traded.’ I said, ‘For real, for real?

Giannis Antetokounmpo led the way with 37 points, 14 rebounds, and five assists in just 27 minutes.</p><p>Antetokounmpo was highly efficient, making 16 of 26 shots from the field, going 4-of-7 from the free throw line, and 1-of-3 from three-point range. Of his 14 rebounds, 12 came on the offensive glass, helping Milwaukee sustain its lead throughout the contest. His plus-minus of +10 radiated influence from paint to perimeter.</p><p>This performance was Giannis’ 151st career game with at least 30 points, 10 rebounds, and five assists, <a href="https://x.com/realapp/status/1981186265967186398" rel="noopener">placing him third all-time</a> behind only Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Oscar Robertson, who each recorded 157 such games, per Real Sports. Not only that, but all three of these legendary players spent part of their careers in Milwaukee. Achieving this milestone in under 30 minutes makes the accomplishment even more remarkable.</p><p>Giannis enters the NBA season after a busy summer, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/milwaukee-bucks/6-milestones-giannis-antetokounmpo-needs-to-achieve-to-cement-his-legacy">representing Greece in EuroBasket</a>. In seven games, he averaged 27.3 points, 10.6 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per contest, shooting 68% from the field and 65% from the free throw line.</p><h2>How Giannis and the Bucks controlled the game</h2><p>The Bucks jumped out to an early lead, connecting on five of their first six three-point attempts. New starters AJ Green and Myles Turner scored early, while the team’s shooting efficiency allowed Milwaukee to build a 19-point advantage by the end of the first quarter. Repelling a short mid-game rally from Washington, the Bucks maintained double-digit leads, thanks in large part to Giannis’ timely scoring bursts.</p><p>Supporting players contributed significantly as well. Gary Trent Jr. and Kyle Kuzma poured in floor-shifting baskets to shore up the offense during Giannis’ rest.<br>In the fourth quarter, Giannis rejoined to instigate a 16-4 flurry that swelled Milwaukee’s lead to 20 points and codified the win.</p><p>The Milwaukee Bucks will now travel to face the Toronto Raptors on Friday before concluding the week against the Cleveland Cavaliers.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

By the way, who picks New York to go, Times Square,” Griffin said on the show.</p><p>When Michelle Beadle pointed out the summer heat and humidity, Griffin pushed his point further. “Yeah, I’ve got to blow off some steam, let me go to Times Square,” he joked, mocking the idea of picking one of the world’s busiest tourist spots to relax after a tough playoff loss.</p><p>Griffin was referring to when Antetokounmpo was spotted walking around Manhattan with his wife, Mariah, and their child on May 1, just days after Milwaukee’s season ended. The timing sparked speculation about his interest in New York teams, especially the Knicks, who have long pursued the Greek Freak.</p><p>The lighthearted roast highlights how closely Giannis’s every move gets watched. He signed a three-year extension in October 2023, yet the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/nba-stories/nba-rumors-warriors-insider-cold-water-hot-giannis-trade-speculation">offseason trade speculation</a> had everyone analyzing where he spent his time. What looked like an innocent family outing became another talking point simply because of the location choice.</p><p>The 2021 Finals MVP has talked before <a href="https://basketnews.com/news-224466-giannis-love-for-new-york-knicks-trade-rumors-2025-bucks.html" rel="noopener">about enjoying games at Madison Square Garden</a>, so New York sightings always get people talking about his future. For now, he remains Milwaukee’s franchise player and a top MVP contender heading into the new season. The Bucks open their 2025-26 campaign Wednesday night at home against the Washington Wizards.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
