Shai Gilgeous-Alexander ranks in the 83rd percentile for point guards in rim accuracy shooting 68% at the rim. He is 6th overall, but if you make the minimum rim attempts 20, he is 5th. Only player with a higher percentage them him on the same or more attempts is Luka (71%). – 12:02 PM

Only downside of Brook Lopez being so awesome: Bud is playing him more than ever (31 mpg). Would expect more Bobby (24 mpg), bit more Serge to manage that, and Giannis has only played 15 poss at center all season — mainly because all the wings you’d use for smallball are hurt. – 10:40 AM

It’s wild how casually Giannis dunks on guys with his left hand — usually on drives that he creates from nothing — so let’s use last night’s baptism of John Collins as an excuse to start a “Giannis detonating on dudes with his left hand” thread… pic.twitter.com/Mq7B6zBiup – 11:09 PM

When I asked Giannis Antetokounmpo about the last time he went glass on his baseline fadeaway, he flashed a big smile and just said, “That’s what I do.”
But then told me, he hasn’t done it since J-Kidd was in Milwaukee.

The Bucks moved to 5-0 last night. They did it through clutch shotmaking by Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jrue Holiday and a creative playcall from Mike Budenholzer.

Bucks 87, Knicks 66 – 9:50 PM
Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
The #Bucks had not really hit too many threes until the last few minutes (two by Jrue Holiday, one by Giannis Antetokounmpo) and a Grayson Allen dunk highlight a run that has Milwaukee up 15 on the #Knicks 81-66. – 9:47 PM

Giannis has scored 105 points on 40-for-57 shooting over the last 10 quarters of basketball in 82 minutes. Just an insane week of basketball to watch so far. – 9:19 PM

The list of players who have been better than Pascal Siakam this season is quite short. Giannis, Luka and then you could argue with Ja, Steph, Tatum, Booker. Has clearly been All-NBA second team caliber at the least. – 9:05 PM

Tom Thibodeau does not seem pleased with another Jrue Holiday-to-Giannis Antetokounmpo lob behind the #Knicks defense. Time out. #Bucks lead 36-30. – 8:47 PM

Thibs clearly wants to have Mitchell Robinson out there to guard Giannis. …but Robinson now has three fouls. – 8:44 PM

Bobby Portis high fives the crowd after his tip-in of a missed Giannis Antetokounmpo three rattles in at the buzzer and the #Bucks take a 26-24 lead after one quarter. – 8:39 PM

Cool to see the respect that Giannis Antetokounmpo gives Bobby Portis.
Portis was the first man up the floor and started posting up, which negated a transition opportunity, but Antetokounmpo seemed to love it. Immediately cleared Jevon Carter out and posted Portis. Bucket. – 8:26 PM

Couplea #Knicks turnovers, couplea Giannis Antetokounmpo gallops to the rim and it’s 5-0 #Bucks in the early going. – 8:15 PM

The #Bucks are running out the now-usual starting lineup of Jevon Carter, Jrue Holiday, Grayson Allen, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Brook Lopez. – 7:41 PM

NBA League Pass Game of the Day: Knicks at Bucks
Is this new-look New York team (3-1) a legit problem for the East? Jalen Brunson’s squad faces a litmus test in Milwaukee against Giannis Antetokounmpo (36 ppg) and arguably the best team in the conference. pic.twitter.com/McfB6dY73K – 6:47 PM

I’ve never felt much nostalgia about the purple jerseys, but seeing Giannis wear one is a nice reminder that whatever suffering I endured watching the 90s/00s Bucks was TOTALLY WORTH IT. pic.twitter.com/DVgJ7ma65W – 6:37 PM

More on this storyline
Giannis Antetokounmpo has been producing his brand of acrobatic tricks on the basketball court once again this season, but he was after the treats Sunday. Karley Marotta, the sports director at WKOW in Madison, Wisconsin (ABC), caught Giannis (along with brother/teammate Thanasis Antetokounmpo and teammate George Hill) out and about during trick-or-treating, with Giannis adorned as Rubble from “Paw Patrol.” He wasn’t shy about taking pictures with kids on the lookout for candy. -via USA Today Sports / October 31, 2022

Last year, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Mariah Riddlesprigger teamed up with the Milwaukee Diaper Mission to put on a diaper drive to celebrate the birth of their second child and help Milwaukee-area families in need. Now, their diaper drive is becoming an annual event — and it’s going on right now. -via Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel / October 29, 2022
