What unique record does Giannis Antetokounmpo hold that was also achieved by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Wilt Chamberlain?

Giannis Antetokounmpo was flat-out dominant in the Milwaukee Bucks' 142-129 win over the Washington Wizards on Monday. Antetokounmpo accomplished something that had not been done since 1971, becoming the third player in NBA history to achieve the feat.

"The Greek Freak" ended with 42 points, 13 rebounds and eight assists on 20-for-23 shooting from the field. It was the second 40/10/5 game of his career where he shot more than 85.0%. He's just the third player ever to have multiple games of such efficiency, after Wilt Chamberlain and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Chamberlain (three) has the record for the most 40/10/5/85% games in NBA history. He did it once in 1966 and twice in 1977, while Abdul-Jabbar had two such games in 1970 and 1971 when he was with the Bucks.

The only other player to have that kind of game was Nikola Jokic, who had 43 points, 14 rebounds and eight assists on 17-for-20 shooting from the field.

Jokic achieved it on Dec. 14, 2022, against the Washington Wizards. He will need to do it again to join Giannis Antetokounmpo, Wilt Chamberlain and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
