"I want to produce with so much consistency that it causes boredom," said Antetokounmpo.
That's the only way in which the two-timeMVP has been appreciated recently.
Antetokounmpo scored a career-high 55 points with a series of dunks and drives as the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Washington Wizards 123-113 on Tuesday night. The best stretch of his career was continued by the spectacular forward, who had 10 rebound and 7 assists.
Antetokounmpo said that his game is boring. I do what I do and people don't talk about it because it's boring. I would like to do that. I want other people to think my game is dull. I'm not bored. The best players never tire of playing. They always give their best on a nightly basis.
In the past three games he has played, Antetokounmpo has collected at least 40 points, 10 rebound and 5 assists. He sat out the Wizards game because of a sore left knee.
In NBA history, there are only three players who have had three straight performances of 40 points, 10 rebound and five assists.
Flynn Robinson scored at least 40 points in three straight appearances in 1969 and 1972, the only other players to do that.
"He's been playing with this kind of determination, this kind of just willing us in games," Budenholzer said. We won it tonight. He's been great.
Lopez and Antetokoumpo have played together for five seasons. The 7-footer can't remember a regular-season stretch in which Antetokounmpo has played better than this.
Lopez had a double-double with 21 points and 12 rebound. He just improves again when you think about where else he can improve. To describe him, we need to expand the English language. I'm sure he's going to improve again, but I'm not sure if I've said that before. He is not sure what he is going to do next. He's so special.
The previous high for Antetokounmpo was a 52 point performance against the 76ers. He missed the franchise scoring record by one point, which was held by Michael Redd.
Bradley Beal played just 13 minutes after returning from a sore left leg. He scored eight points in the first half, but was unable to play the rest of the game because of his injured thigh.
Wizards coach Wes Unseld said the same thing. We have to evaluate it.
Kristaps Porzingis had 22 points for the Wizards.
Portis had 17 points and 13 rebound.
Jrue Holiday scored six points in 19 minutes in his return after missing three games with a non-covid illness. Khris Middleton won't play Wednesday at Toronto because of a knee injury.
