Antetokounmpo makes history with a statistic never seen before

A statistical concept that perfectly synthesizes an NBA player's level is the Player Efficiency Rating (PER), very similar to the Valuation used in FIBA basketball, but it stands out as a perfect combination of all the contributions a player makes during their games. Giannis Antetokounmpo is surpassing all expectations.

The standard average used as a reference for an NBA player is 15, with historical records around 30. Currently, the best season record is held by Nikola Jokic in the 2021/2022 season, with 33.99 points. What no one expected to see, even if momentarily, is a record like the one Giannis Antetokounmpo is achieving in these early stages of the season, surpassing the 40-point mark.

There were certain doubts about Giannis Antetokounmpo's competitive attitude this season after being open to leaving Milwaukee Bucks, but his commitment has been spectacular. Currently, he presents an astonishing 43.14 points in PER, exceeding all expectations. It will be challenging for him to maintain this performance, but it is not unlikely that he could break Jokic's historic record due to the impact of the Greek player on his team's game.
