Giannis Antetokounmpo "The Greek Freak"

6' 10 1/4" tall

88" reach

lots of debate about travelling in the comments... kinda like perbites on hockey, lol

yeah, he should just tuck the ball under his arm for situations like that
it's only 2 dribbles
why even bother

ohh and if he is a greek freak...
maybe....

don't even talk about it lucky...

his hands are 11 inches long - lord knows what he's packin'

(and real sunny burnett, you keep out of this, lol )

I'd have to say it's borderline traveling–
but refs in the NBA would rarely call that.
still impressive though.

for me, that's one of the problems with basketball - the rule book now is a 32 volume encyclopedia covering things like the position of your lips when you dunk a basket!

there's plenty to chew on in the comments. apparently there's a partial step allowed when a player takes possession of the ball before they even start counting travelling steps, and another partial step when the player starts their drive for the basket

then there's something about whether the ball is supported by the hand or if the hand is held above the ball

the rule book used to be a small pamphlet... it ain't that way any more!

make the basket 15 feet high, basketball is a joke, please ignore it.
