Giannis Antetokounmpo Drops Heartfelt Reaction After Joining 21K List Headlined by LeBron James

Giannis Antetokounmpo joined a list of all-time greats following the Milwaukee Bucks' win over the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday, Nov. 30. Giannis became the sixth-youngest player to reach 21,000 points, just behind LeBron James, Wilt Chamberlain, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant and Michael Jordan.

Antetokounmpo went to Instagram to express his reaction to the historic feat, posting two emojis to sum up his feelings.

Giannis Antetokounmpo takes shot at teammates after early-season slump

Giannis Antetokounmpo called for his teammates to step up following their seventh straight defeat. The Bucks star pleaded for his teammates to change their mentalities for the rest of the season.

"Can I make an excuse that we've played a lot of games and guys are tired and it's a huge load on people? Yeah," he said. "Can I also make an excuse that's human nature when (Kevin Porter Jr.) goes down and myself goes down, it's human nature to think that you got to carry a load. ... Maybe it's a scoring load, maybe you got to make plays, maybe you think it is your opportunity to get more shots. But that's not how you win games. That's not how you build culture."

This comes after he returned from a four-game absence due to a groin injury.

"At the end of the day, you got to come in, do your job, do what you're paid to do, defend ... do the little things. And sometimes, when you worry about doing the little things, all the other things add up. If you're so concerned about scoring the ball and get yourself going offensively and that doesn't work for you, now you feel like you cannot do nothing."

The Bucks will look to continue their campaign against the Washington Wizards on Monday.
