MILWAUKEE — What better way to celebrate a good day than by indulging in a good meal, Giannis-style?

When the Milwaukee Bucks took the championship in 2021, Giannis Antetokounmpo headed to Chick-fil-A the next morning to order 50 chicken nuggets, a nod to the 50 points he scored in Game 6 and the 50 years it took for the Bucks to receive another NBA title.

Thursday night, the Bucks continued a 6-game winning streak with a narrow 106-105 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers. Giannis accounted for nearly half of that score, with 54 points.

Celebrating his impact, another fast food chain said it is ready to serve the MVP today, while serving the community.

After the win, Giannis mentioned craving Culver's cheeseburgers. 

“The last time I went to I went to Chick-fil-A and I got the nuggets but now tomorrow I think I'm going to go to a Culver's," he said at a post-game press conference Thursday night. "I'm going to go get the 50 cheeseburgers and I'm going to try to eat as many as I can and the rest I will have my son eat them or I’ll give them to my dog."

Culver’s took to Twitter this morning to let Giannis know he is welcome to stop in any nearby location to chow down on 54 cheeseburgers. Perhaps more importantly, the restaurant chain said it would donate 54,000 diapers to Milwaukee Diaper Mission.

Milwaukee Diaper Mission, a local nonprofit, provides free diapers and period products to families in need. Mariah Riddlesprigger, Giannis’ girlfriend, is a member of the nonprofit’s board of directors. The couple has held numerous diaper drivers to benefit the nonprofit.

“We appreciate all that you and [Riddlesprigger] do for the city of Milwaukee,” Culver’s said in the tweet.

Milwaukee Diaper Mission has donated 656,000 disposable diapers, 206,000 disposable period products, 14,600 packs of baby wipes, 3,100 cloth diapers, 1,300 cloth pads and 205 menstrual cups since it was founded in 2020.

Now that's what we call a win.
