The Greek Freak Is ON FIRE

21-year-old Giannis Antetokounmpo is affectionately named the “Greek Freak” for a reason. He is 6’11” (he was 6’9″ when he was drafted at the age of 18) with a 7’3″ wingspan, 12″ hands (which is beyond mind-boggling), less than 5% body fat, and the most interesting of all, his achilles tendon is 13.5″ which is [...]
