Giannis came to the attention of the world with his play, which led to him winning the 2020-21 NBA championship. Although most people look at Giannis with awe regarding his play, celebrity podcaster Joe Rogan has his mind blown away looking at Giannis’ hands.

The Greek Freak has huge hands which make the basketball look small in his hands. Talking on his popular podcast, Joe Rogan talked about Giannis’ hands along with comedian Alonzo Bodden.

Bodden first talks about Antetokounmpo’s hands, “Did you see that guy? I think he plays for the Milwaukee Bucks. His hands surround the basketball!”

To which Rogan exclaimed while looking at some pics of Giannis, ” That looks cartoonish! That doesn’t even look real!”. Although Giannis Antetokounmpo’s hand size might seem astonishing, he is nowhere close to the biggest hand size in the NBA.
