Top 5 Milwaukee Bucks Players with the Most Career Points

web editor  

The Bucks took a chance on a talented athlete from lower-level Greek basketball and it turned out to be a game-changer for the franchise. Giannis has surpassed all expectations and is now at the top of the leaderboard in numerous categories for Milwaukee. Not only does he lead in games and minutes played, but he also leads in career rebounds, assists, blocks, and points. With two Kia MVP awards, a Defensive Player of the Year title, and leading the Bucks to their second championship, Giannis has truly become the face of the franchise. Giannis is synonymous with the Bucks, and the Bucks are synonymous with Giannis.

1. Giannis Antetokounmpo – 18,502 points

2. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar – 14,211 points

When Kareem first joined the Bucks, he was still known by his birth name of Lew Alcindor. Like Giannis, Kareem led the Bucks to a title. He won a whopping three MVPs with Milwaukee in only five seasons before joining the Lakers where he played for over a decade. Kareem is second in all-time points after being bested by LeBron Jamed in 2023, but since so much of that was with Los Angeles, he’s only second in points for the Bucks.

3. Khris Middleton – 12,296 points

Middleton has been a perfect complement for Antetokounmpo for many years. While Giannis is a great athlete who can attack the rim with gusto, he’s not the best shooter from distance. That’s where Middleton comes in. His high-level three-point shooting has helped space the floor for the Bucks, and in four different seasons Middleton has averaged over two three-pointers per game. In theory, Middleton could pass Kareem if he sticks around a few more seasons.

4. Glenn Robinson – 12,010 points

“The Big Dog” was drafted first overall by the Bucks in the 1994 NBA Draft, and while he did not become a franchise cornerstone level of player, he did put together a fine NBA career. As the focal point of the Bucks’ offense in the 1990s and early 2000s, Robinson averaged over 20 points per game in seven of his eight campaigns with the Bucks. He made two All-Star Games with Milwaukee as well. At the end of his career, Robinson joined up with the Spurs to try and win a ring, and though he had a limited role in the playoffs, he did indeed get that title in 2005.

5. Sidney Moncrief – 11,594 points

Moncrief’s reputation as an elite defensive player earned him a spot in the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2019. He was first-team All-Defense four times and won Defensive Player of the Year twice. During the 1980s, Moncrief was the star at the center for the Bucks and had a run in his prime where he was a point producer as well. He had four seasons where he averaged over 20 points per game. It was part of a well-rounded game that made Moncrief a member of the Milwaukee Mount Rushmore.
