Giannis Antetokounmpo Absolutely Dwarfs Baseball in His Hands at Yankee Stadium
By Michael Luciano
Milwaukee Bucks superstar and 2018-19 NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, in case you haven't got the memo or have been living under a rock for the last few years, has insanely long arms and gigantic hands, even for someone his size. In making a visit to Yankee Stadium to immerse himself in baseball culture, we finally got to see just how big his hands are compared to a regulation ball, and as you would expect, the difference is cartoonish.
Knicks fans can already start firing up the 2021 Giannis-to-MSG rumors after his brief vacation to Yankee Stadium, in which he had a brief meeting with Yankees pitcher CC Sabathia, who looks somewhat small in comparison despite being one of the biggest, sturdiest players in the game at 6-6 and around 300 pounds.
Could you imagine if Giannis got bored of systematically destroying the Eastern Conference and decided to take up baseball? In another universe, Giannis is 13-2 with a 1.93 ERA for the Brewers with a 100 mph heater.
We've seen players work in both baseball and basketball; the Pittsburgh Pirates' Dick Groat played with the Pistons before he made eight All-Star teams as a shortstop. Knicks Hall of Famer Dave DeBusschere even played briefly with the White Sox. Of course, Michael Jordan had his famous interlude with the Birmingham Barons. Could Giannis be next? Go ahead-- try to convince yourself he can't do it.
