Giannis Antetokounmpo honored his father Charles, who suddenly passed away Sept. 30, by inscribing a touching message on the game ball in the wake of his career-high scoring night Saturday.
"This is for daddy," Antetokounmpo's message reads. "We got a win tonight and I got 44 points."
The Milwaukee Bucks star sealed the win over the Portland Trail Blazers for the home team with his tremendous scoring output as well as his clutch defensive presence.
