Giannis Antetokounmpo craves Culver’s cheeseburgers after…
“I’m going to go to Culver’s,” he said after the win. “I’ll go get 50 cheeseburgers and try to eat as many as I can.”
At the Bayshore Culver’s, the lunch hour is always a mad rush. Owner George Dimitropoulos said they usually make “a couple thousand” cheeseburgers each day.

Dimitropoulos was hopeful that the biggest order– which would total $382.94 – would happen at his restaurant. It sent every other area Culver’s into a “Greek Freak” frenzy, too.
Culver’s made Antetokounmpo a mouthwatering offer: In addition to fulfilling his order, the restaurant chain will also donate 54,000 diapers to the Milwaukee Diaper Mission in Franklin.
“(It) would support over 2,000 children with diapering supplies. It’s a huge donation that we are very, very grateful for,” said Meagan Johnson, the organization’s executive director.
Johnson said the exposure Antetokounmpo and Culver’s have given are nothing short of a slam dunk.
“When parents are struggling to choose between food and diapers on a weekly basis – it’s heartbreaking, and that’s primarily why we exist,” said Johnson.
Antetokounmpo said after the game that he will eat as many of the 54 burgers as he can and give the rest ot his son. So far, there has been no sign of Antetokounmpo picking up his order.
When the Bucks won the NBA Finals in 2021, Antetokounmpo celebrated a 50-point performance with 50 chicken nuggets from Chick-fil-A. Thursday night, he said he was switching restaurants after Culver’s promised him free meals.
Bucks beat Clippers 106-105
Antetokounmpo scored 20 of his 54 points in the fourth quarter and the Bucks overcame a 21-point deficit to beat the Clippers on Thursday night – their sixth consecutive victory.

The Greek star has scored at least 50 points in three of his last 11 games. He had a career-high 55 on Jan. 3 in a 123-113 victory over Washington and scored 50 in only 30 minutes Sunday in a 135-110 triumph over New Orleans.
Antetokounmpo now has reached the half-century mark in six career regular-season games. That doesn’t include his 50-point outburst against the Phoenix Suns in Game 6 of the 2021 NBA Finals, which gave the Bucks their first title since 1971.
He joins Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the only players in Bucks history to have at least three 50-point games in a season
