The Bucks are in the midst of one of the most historic seasons by a team in NBA history. Led by the reigning NBA MVP, the Bucks are the heavy favorite to win the Eastern Conference and advance to the NBA Finals. Here are the top 5 facts to know from the Milwaukee Bucks 2019-20 season.
Last season’s MVP took his game to another level this season as he looks to win his second consecutive award.
Giannis Antetokounmpo is the only player in @NBAHistory to reach 9,000+ PTS, 4,000+ REB and 2,000+ AST before turning 25 years old. pic.twitter.com/P6iRtmugvL
Giannis Antetokounmpo is averaging 30.9 PPG, 13.4 RPG, and 5.9 APG in the @Bucks‘ 20 games. He is the first player in @NBAHistory to average at least 30PPG/13RPG/5APG in the first 20 games of a season. pic.twitter.com/mUesRmmOQi
With 35 points and 9 rebounds in Tuesday’s win at Detroit, Giannis is averaging 31.0 PPG, 13.2 RPG and 5.5 APG so far this season. The last player to finish a season meeting or exceeding each of those averages was Wilt Chamberlain in 1965-66. #FearTheDeerhttps://t.co/yWHKHWQoWFpic.twitter.com/PiDxl0e9CG
Khris Middleton made the ASG for the 2nd consecutive year and was on pace for the rare .500/.400/900 club.
Tonight the @Bucks‘ Khris Middleton became the 1st player in NBA history to score 50+ points while shooting 70.0+ percent from three-point range and 100.0 percent from the line in a game (minimum 10 attempts for both).#FearTheDeer
Khris Middleton is the 3rd player in Bucks history with 50 Pts, 10 Reb in a game, joining Kareem Abdul-Jabbar & Giannis Antetokounmpo.
It’s also the 3rd straight day with a 50-point game (Lillard, Gordon, Middleton), the last time that happened was 1962 (Wilt/West, Wilt, Wilt). pic.twitter.com/CDYptENXID
Bradley Beal and Khris Middleton are the first duo to score 40 points each in consecutive meetings since Oscar Robertson and Wilt Chamberlain did it in 1962 (via @EliasSports). pic.twitter.com/3s9cUppx70
This season, Bojan Bogdanovic was 1 of 2 players to average 20 points, while shooting 40% on 3-pointers and 90% on free throws, along with Khris Middleton. https://t.co/x7JohCx0iw
The Bucks beat the Thunder BY 47 POINTS tonight:
3rd win this season by 40+ pts (tied for most in NBA history)
9th team in NBA history to record 3 40-pt victories in a season
Currently, their pt differential is at +12.8, which would be the highest in a season in NBA history pic.twitter.com/e1lPf5h4om
The @Bucks scored 88 points in the 1st half despite Giannis Antetokounmpo being out tonight.
It’s the highest-scoring 1st half in NBA history by a team in a game in which their leading scorer (entering the game) did not play.#FearTheDeer
The Bucks are outscoring opponents by 11.3 PPG this season. That would be the 5th-highest mark in NBA history.
