This away ‘Association Edition’ jersey was worn by Giannis Antetokounmpo on December 28, 2022, when the Milwaukee Bucks played the Chicago Bulls. 

Antetokounmpo delivered one of the most dominant performances of his career, finishing with 45 points, a career-high 22 rebounds, 7 assists, and 1 steal. From the opening tip, he controlled the game on both ends of the floor, overwhelming defenders with his combination of size, strength, and athleticism while relentlessly attacking the basket.

The performance marked one of the finest statistical outings of Antetokounmpo's career, showcasing the all-around skill set that has made him one of the defining players of his generation. Combining elite scoring, rebounding, and playmaking, Giannis became just the third player in NBA history to record at least 45 points, 20 rebounds, and 5 assists in a game, joining Wilt Chamberlain and Elgin Baylor in accomplishing the feat.
