Asked about his miraculous performance, which included 13 straight points in the third quarter, Giannis Antetokounmpo said he doesn’t try to rate his achievements. “I focus on what I can control. I try to create art; every game is a new experience for me, But I’ll say this is one of the years that I feel very excited to go out on the court and play with my teammates.“

Which one of you, Jokic of Giannis is in the best position to reach the single-game scoring record for EuroBasket?
Doncic: Probably Giannis. You said who’s going to score the most points in one game. I’d bet on Giannis.
Why?

More on this storyline
Callie Caplan: A reporter asked Luka Doncic who he thinks will score the most points in a single EuroBasket game this tournament — himself, Nikola Jokic or Giannis Antetokounmpo? Luka: “Probably Giannis. Easy answer.” Why? “Why? [eye roll] Because he’s Giannis Antetokounmpo.” -via Twitter @CallieCaplan / September 6, 2022
Giannis Antetokounmpo dropped 41 points on Ukraine, becoming only the second player in the 21st century to score more than 40 points in a EuroBasket game after Dirk Nowitzki’s 43 points against Spain in 2001. He’s also the third Greek player ever to have scored more than 40 points in a EuroBasket game, after Giorgos Kolokithas in 1967 and Nikos Galis, who did it five times, most notably in the 1989 EuroBasket semi-final (45) vs. the Soviet Union. -via BasketNews / September 6, 2022
Giannis’ career-high with Greece was witnessed by several Milwaukee Bucks reps. Khris Middleton is in Milan with Bucks owner Marc Lasry, SVP Alex Lasry, general manager Jon Horst and assistant general manager Milt Newton. “I saw them once, but I zoomed out and focused on the game,” Giannis revealed. “They’ve seen me many times and know what I’m capable of. I tried to focus on the team so that we build good habits, whether things are going well or not.” -via BasketNews / September 6, 2022
