Giannis Antetokounmpo smashed a Milwaukee Bucks point record set by Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as his side made it past the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday.
The Greek posted 44 points to steer the Bucks to a 120-119 victory, which saw him become their highest NBA scorer in franchise history with a total of 14,216.
Abdul-Jabbar previously held the record with 14,211, and Antetokounmpo made Bucks history with a game-tying three-pointer before holding his nerve to post two free throws with three seconds remaining.
The 27-year-old played down his latest landmark after the game, though, telling reporters: "It doesn't really matter. Because at the end of the day if you don't have a successful season, if you don't try and keep getting better and staying humble and staying happy, play all the way until May, June, nobody's going to remember this.
"So I just want us to stay humble. I want myself to stay humble. I felt like the more humble I get and the more hungry I stay, the more things I can accomplish. The more art I can create.
"Playing basketball is like creating art so - the more I can prolong my career. So I just got to keep staying humbled, keep trying to make my teammates great, win games, and good things like tonight will happen.
"It's good because I'm changing the narrative. I don't want to be the guy only that dunks and runs. I can make a 3."
The Bucks remain behind the Miami Heat in second in the Eastern Conference after claiming a 12th win from 15 games versus the Nets. body check tags ::
