Giannis Antetokounmpo just had a historic 14 game stretch, in those games he’s averaging:
**33.6 PPG and 11.4 RPG on an absurd 65.2% FG**
no one has EVER averaged that over 14 games until now
It’s an incredibly dominant run Giannis is on right now. The addition of Damian Lillard has opened up the offence in the half court for him where he’s averaging [66.7% FG on half court drives.](https://x.com/nba_university/status/1733124965308789008?s=46) Recently [Kirk Goldsberry](https://www.instagram.com/p/C0b9Z8FMSAm/?hl=en) highlighted how dominant he has been in the paint and his stat further reinforces that. We haven’t seen anything like this from a player.
If this sounds cherry picked I decided to lessen the requirements to **only 33 PPG on at least 65% FG**, the only other person to do that would be **Karl Malone** in his 89-90 season.

Still not even top 3 mvp rankings is absurd
Hmm… Malone had Stockton, and now Giannis has Dame…
Meanwhile Jokic going 9/31 and 9/26 in games back to back and no one is talking about Giannis’ efficiency
If these guys can figure out how to occasionally prevent the other team from scoring, they’d be unstoppable
