Soon after entering the league as the number one pick in the 2013 draft, Brittney Griner displayed signs of becoming one of the greatest WNBA players ever. As a result, she attracted the attention of many prominent stars who showed their appreciation for her talents, including NBA legends LeBron James and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

In fact, King James predicted Brittney Griner to dominate the women’s game in the future after her draft in 2013 and had nothing but high praise for the WNBA star’s game.

Meanwhile, Griner secured the appreciation of another Los Angeles Lakers legend from a different era. In other words, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar posted a picture on social media recording a fun moment he shared with the Phoenix Mercury recruit.

Meanwhile, this rare picture posted by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar back in 2013 garnered much attention on social media. In the picture, the former Lakers center seemed to be comparing his hands with Brittney Griner.

As it turns out, the 6’9″ WNBA sensation doesn’t have a sizeable difference from the hands of a 7’2″ Abdul-Jabbar. However, the six-time NBA champion reveals in the caption that Griner does have bigger feet than him.

“Brittney Griner doesn’t have bigger hands than me but she does have bigger feet than me,” the caption read.

It has always been customary for centers in basketball to compare their hands and feet. These body traits tend to be good indicators of a hooper’s impact on the court. Brittney Griner’s hand-size comparison with Abdul-Jabbar suitably explains her sheer dominance of the women’s circuit.

Griner’s current predicament

Earlier this month, Brittney Griner was sentenced to nine years in prison by the Russian judiciary for charges of drug trafficking. In February, airport authorities seized vape cartridges and cannabis oil from Griner’s belongings.

Washington has assured Americans that they are working on a deal to free the 2014 WNBA champion. U.S. diplomats have displayed an interest in a prisoner swap deal with Moscow. However, amid ongoing negotiations, recent reports on Russian penal colonies have raised concerns among Americans.
