30.4 - Antetokounmpo, 2019-20
32.7 - Stephen Curry, 2014-15
32.8 - Antetokounmpo, 2018-19
33.3 - Bill Walton, 1977-78

With all the trophies Giannis has won so far, his main goal is still in the Larry O’Brien trophy. The narrative he can’t perform well in the playoffs is false, but it’s true he’s underachieved so far. It wouldn’t be wise to bet against the Greek Freak bringing the first title to Milwaukee in 50 years though.
