The NBA’s reigning MVP appears to be continuing right where he left off. An impressive showing in four games last week for the Milwaukee saw Giannis Antetokounmpo named the Eastern Conference Player of the Week.
Guiding the Bucks to a 3-1 record, Antetokounmpo posted an average 25.3 points, 13.3 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 2.0 blocks, and 1.0 steal per game. Antetokounmpo also managed to shoot an impressive 57.8% over that same stretch.
Through six games this season, Antetokounmpo is averaging 26.7 points (T-9th in NBA), 13.8 rebounds (3rd in NBA), 7.7 assists (T-8th in NBA), 1.8 blocks and 1.3 steals per game while shooting 58.8% from the field.
Antetokounmpo’s hot start has also helped him become the first player in NBA history to tally at least 150 points, 80 rebounds and 40 assists in the first six games of a season.
This marks the 10th time in his career that Antetokounmpo has won Player of the Week honours, with six of those awards coming last season.
The Los Angeles Lakers’ Anthony Davis took home the award for the Western Conference.
