The Milwaukee Bucks have clinched the earliest playoff berth in at least 15 years, according to the Elias Sports Bureau research. The postseason is not set to begin for another 55 days.

The Bucks clinched Sunday despite not playing because the Wizards lost to the Bulls.

Milwaukee is 48-8 as of Sunday night and on pace to win 70 games -- a feat only accomplished by the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls (72 wins) and the 2015-16 Golden State Warriors (73 wins).

The Bucks' success this season has been buoyed by what is shaping up to be another MVP season from Giannis Antetokounmpo.

The "Greek Freak" is averaging 30 points, 13.6 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.1 blocks in just 30.9 minutes per game. His 32.49 player efficiency rating (PER) is the highest in history, according to basketball reference.
