With so much NBA season left to play, Giannis Antetokounmpo collecting a new career high in points Friday night against the Washington Wizards might just be the beginning.
The Milwaukee Bucks' Greek Freak stood at the line in the fourth quarter to 'MVP' chants from the crowd, and left the game to a standing ovation at home after finishing with 39 points, eight rebounds, and six assists.
