5. November 21st, 2019 vs Portland Trail Blazers: 24 points, 19 rebounds, 15 assists

As defenses ramped up their attention to Antetokounmpo over time, he’s become a much-improved passer as the years have gone on. Not only has his vision improved, but he’s been better at hitting his teammates once he recognizes the openings.

When the Portland Trail Blazers sent him body after body on November 21st, 2019, Antetokounmpo showed just how much work he’d put into becoming an adequate passer in today’s game by racking up a career-high 15 assists to go along with 24 points and 19 rebounds.

By putting up a 24-19-15 line, he became just the fourth player in league history to do so, joining the like of Larry Bird, Wilt Chamberlin and Oscar Robertson. Not bad company for the future Hall of Famer.
