Maybe in recent years, more precisely in the period since he was the NBA MVP, he has been somewhat in the shadow of some other basketball aces. Maybe he doesn't have a good enough team to do great things, but when Giannis Antetokounmpo has his night, his rivals hardly have a chance...
Philadelphia felt it the night before, on the historic Giannis Night, when the guy from Athens reminded why he was nicknamed the "Greek Beast."
Antetokounmpo recorded a memorable triple-double in a win against his Milwaukee team (126:113) - 35 points, 20 assists and 17 rebounds.
No one before him had ever recorded a minimum of 35 points, 20 assists and 15 steals.
Brook Lopez added 17 points and Kyle Kuzma 16 for the winning team, while Damian Lillard missed another game with a calf injury. Philadelphia's most efficient player was Adam Bona with 28 points.
The previous evening brought another clash of legends - Steph Curry and Golden State celebrated against LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers 123:116.
Steph finished the match with 37 points (four three-pointers), and LeBron with 33 points - for the "Warriors", Brandin Podzemski added 28 points, and for the Lakers, Austin Reeves had 31 points, while Luka Dončić recorded 19 points (6-0 three-pointers), eight rebounds and seven assists.
Minnesota, led by Anthony Edwards (28 points) and Rudy Gobert (21 points, 18 rebounds), defeated Brooklyn 105:90.
Ja Morant is usually always at the center of events due to his behavior, but now he once again reminded us what a master he is - he scored at the sound of the siren for Memphis' victory over Miami (110:108).
Morant was also the most efficient player on his team with 30 points, while on the other side, Tyler Hiro scored 35 points.
It was also Tomas Isalo's first victory on the Memphis bench.
