Lots of congratulatory messages have been sent for Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo after he reached 20,000 point milestone but none is probably more important than the one from his wife Mariah who has been there for him when 10 points a game was still a hard work for him.

Mariah Riddlesprigger-Antetokounmpo, with whom he has three kids with, congratulated her husband by reposting a Bucks instagram post with the caption:
“To the hardest working man I know… I love you and I’m so proud of you 34! 🤍👑”
She added that “You are HIM” for the feat.
Giannis and Mariah have been together since the time when Antetokounmpo was not yet an All-Star and she was still working as part of the basketball operations for the Philadelphia 76ers. This was around 2015-2016 as the exact date was not revealed.

Giannis Antetokounmpo wants to reach 30,000 points

More congratulatory message will come for Giannis, maybe five years after. This is after he guaranteed that he will reach the 30,000 points milestone.
There are 52 players who scored 20,000 points and above so far. If he does reach 30k, he will join a club with only nine members.
“I’m going to get there, for sure,” Antetokounmpo said during a locker room celebration.

“One thousand percent. I’m gonna get there. I don’t know how I’ll do it, but I’m gonna show up every single day, and I’m going to do it.”
How many points does he need to score to get there? In five years, he will need to score at least 24 points each to reach it and play all 82 games per season. This does not include playoff games yet.
He might reach it faster if the playoffs points will be included or if he will score 30 points per game just like what he is doing the season.
