Giannis Antetokounmpo hits the 21,000-point milestone for his NBA career, becoming just the 42nd player in league history to reach that mark. The Greek freak gets there with a third-quarter three-pointer as Milwaukee snaps their seven-game losing streak against Brooklyn. Yeah, I think when I was younger, a couple of years ago, yeah, you know, it's another day at the office. Let me just do my job, go back home. But, you know, as you get older, you start appreciating those moments. You need to take it for granted. You know, coach, that came in and he told me that there's only, like, 11 or 12 players who ever scored 21,000 points with one team. And through the history of the game, you're like, you know, wow. You know, being a kid from Greece, from Sepolia, where I grew up in a small neighborhood that not a lot of, you know, let's say great things happen there or come out of there. To be able to be on the stage 13 years later to score 21,000 points, I'm very appreciative. You know, I've had a great support system by my side, my family, um, God by my side that they've guided me through my whole journey. I'm happy. I have a lot of things, a lot of chapters that I want to keep on, like, closing, moving forward. So I just got to stay like this. Job is not done. Now, you got to start from the little things. You got to win two games in a row. We have another one in two days. So no matter what my goals are in five years, seven years, ten years down the line, it doesn't matter. You got to survive.
