The NBA moves on to the next stage of its 76th season, but the performances remain mostly the same for most players. Giannis Antetokounmpo is still the dominating force that he was last year. On Wednesday, the Milwaukee Bucks superstar dropped 30 pts against the Toronto Raptors. Following the brilliant showing, the two-time MVP achieved another career milestone, rivalling NBA greats in his position. Meanwhile, fans went crazy and called for Elon Musk to take some actions when a weird stat comparison was posted on Twitter. They couldn?t help themselves flood the comment section as the Greek Freak was compared to another NBA superstar.
On Wednesday, Antetokounmpo scored his 31st career triple-double, equalling the tally of the four-time NBA Champion Draymond Green. Bucks fans weren?t ecstatic with the comparison and didn?t want their superstar to be compared to Green.

The Greek Freak continued his MVP-caliber performances in the new year as he went on to round up his scorecard as 30-21-10. A stat that signified that he has completed 31 career triple-doubles, as many as Golden State Warriors superstar, Draymond Green.?
However, fans didn?t like the comparison between the two NBA champions by the stats website Statmuse, especially the Bucks fanbase. They didn?t think such a comparison was necessary and believed Antetokounmpo is a superior scorer than Green. Therefore, they expressed their disappointment on the comment section using some strong opinions.
Here are some of the reactions.

This has to be one of the most uninteresting facts I’ve seen

The Bucks? fans were adamant about how the Greek Freak is a better player than Green. Green has never been a prolific scorer but did manage to tally up enough assists and rebounds to amass the record. Fans found it a little annoying as Antetokounmpo usually scores a lot more points than Draymond Green. So it was a bit surprising to compare the triple-doubles of two very different players.

Whatever the reason, fans would expect the Bucks’ superstar to surpass this stat this season itself as he doesn?t seem to give the opponents a break.
