"This is why I love Milwaukee," Antetokounmpo said. "This is why I chose to stay because we celebrate together. It’s been like this since Day One. And I love this."

He is the first player since Shaquille O’Neal to record 40 points, 10 rebounds and five blocks in any playoff game, according to ESPN Stats & Info. O’Neal did it in 2001. He's also the first player to have a 50-10-5 stat line since blocks were first tracked in the 1973-74 season.
