Giannis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee Bucks were on the verge of experiencing their worst-ever loss when they game up on their 21-point fourth-quarter lead in just the last 3:06 minutes.

Giannis was once again inspirational for the side as he knocked down 30 points, 21 rebounds, and 10 assists – a significant triple-double to lead his team closer to the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference. However, since we are talking about individual numbers. The Greek Freak also registered an unwanted record in this very game.

The two-time MVP recorded a rather unusual and unfortunate quadruple-double on Wednesday, adding 12 turnovers to his ledger. Per Stathead, only three players in NBA history have committed more turnovers in a single game. Talking about this particular list – Jason Kidd (14), John Drew (14), and Chris Mullin (13).
