🚨 NBA HISTORY
Giannis Antetokounmpo is now just the SEVENTH player in NBA history to record all five career milestones:
20,000+ points
8,000+ rebounds
4,000+ assists
1,000+ steals
1,000+ blocks
Antetokounmpo's steal was the 1,000th of his career. That makes him the 12th player in league history with 1,000 steals, 1,000 blocked shots and at least 21,000 points, joining LeBron James and Kevin Durant as the lone active players in that group.
Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton has sustained a left hamstring strain and will miss time, sources tell ESPN. Pacers doctors and Haliburton are now gathering a clear timeline.
I’m so serious. Khris Middleton, Jrue Holiday, and Dame all made All-Star appearances while playing alongside Giannis. This narrative picking up steam is so stupid. People are really trying to rewrite Giannis’s entire career just because he’s going through a rough stretch.
Charles Barkley says Giannis is DIFFICULT to play with 👀
“I think he’s difficult to play with. — We had them the first night, he gets the ball and he’s going 1 on 5 every time! There’s no ball movement, body movement. Bam is just standing out there. Hes a great player but he’d be very difficult to play with”

Just in: Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards will undergo an arthroscopic procedure on his ailing right knee and miss up to two months, sources tell ESPN.
Damian Lillard with PRAISE for Giannis:
"Playing with a great player like Giannis -- that was a luxury that I haven't experienced. He's going to show up, he's going to compete -- so that was fun for me."
And people want Miami to give up on Giannis into 4 games of the season...
Former NBA player Malik Beasley will enter a guilty plea on Dec. 9 with the Department of Justice over his role in bribery and betting scheme on his NBA play, his attorney Steve Haney tells ESPN.
