The 29-year-old’s record of 7,165 rebounds cemented his position as the game’s dominant player.

Additionally, Antetokounmpo currently owns the franchise records for the Bucks in terms of assists, points, and rebounds. 

With this outstanding feat, he joins three previous basketball greats who have led their teams in scoring, assists, and rebounds to become members of an exclusive NBA club. 

The illustrious trio consists of the legendary Michael Jordan of the Chicago Bulls, Kevin Garnett of the Minnesota Timberwolves, and LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
