Giannis Antetokounmpo

In living up to his status as the NBA’s No. 1 scorer inside the paint, Giannis Antetokounmpo made efficient, above-the-rim activity his preferred form of expression during his masterpiece performance against the Washington Wizards. On the road, the two-time Most Valuable Player made a second home around the blocks and inside the arc, demoralizing them with powerful flushes, finesse finishes, and enough drive-and-kick dishes to keep them guessing on where the next stroke of the Mona Lisa would come. The end result: a 43-point performance — on 20 of 23 shooting — followed by 13 rebounds, eight assists, one steal, and one block in the Milwaukee Bucks’ win on November 20, 2023. Antetokounmpo’s otherworldly efficiency also provided him the NBA’s highest field goal percentage (on at least 20 attempts) over the last 41 seasons.
