10. December 19th, 2019 vs Los Angeles Lakers: Career-high 5 threes and crowned himself vs LeBron

One of the most fun games in his career came earlier this season when LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers came to the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee. With the Lakers, and James, rejuvenated after a failed season, both superstars knew this was a theoretical passing of the torch type contest.

Dating back to James’ days in Cleveland, Antetokounmpo has always risen to the challenge against the King. That continued on December 19th, 2019 as well. The Greek Freak took it upon himself to take the crown from James, as he made a career-high five three-pointers. The aftermath of one of them went viral as he crowned himself on his way to the bench following a Lakers’ timeout.

When the day was over, the Bucks went home with the victory as Antetokounmpo put on a show in front of a national audience. He finished the game with 34 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists on five of eight shooting from downtown. Not too shabby.
