VIDEO: Giannis Antetokounmpo needs 2 dribbles to drive about 70 feet
Giannis Antetokounmpo continues to provide the highlights in exhibition games as Greece prepares for the FIBA World Cup in Spain later this month.
A few days after amusing us with an all-arms dunk (see the post below), it was Antetokounmpo's legs on display on Wednesday. In the second quarter of a friendly against Turkey, Antetokounmpo stole the ball inside his own 3-point line and proceeded to spring the length of the floor for a dunk.
The impressive part? Because of his long stride and perfect dribble-step cadence, Antetokounmpo is able to cover almost the entire length of the floor with just two dribbles. Two dribbles, three-quarters of the court. Seriously.
It's not even fair that a human being can do that. (And no, by the rulebook, there is no traveling on that play.)
