Giannis Chooses Jokic, Edey, Adams Among NBA Players to Help Fight Silverback Gorilla

A starting five of all bigs in Giannis Antetokounmpo, Nikola Jokić, Steven Adams, Ivica Zubac and Zach Edey would have trouble spacing the floor and dealing with quicker guards in an NBA game.

But it might be the perfect group to do certain tasks.

Certain tasks such as fighting a silverback gorilla.

During an online question-and-answer session with fans, Antetokounmpo was asked which NBA players he would bring alongside for help if he needed to fight a gorilla. Naturally, the Milwaukee Bucks star chose size and strength with Jokić, Adams, Zubac and Edey:

The topic of 100 men fighting one gorilla generated plenty of amusing debate and discussion online in recent weeks, and Antetokounmpo isn't the only notable sports star who weighed in on such a scenario.

UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones told TMZ Sports, "I think you get a bunch of guys from the NFL roster, bunch of the heavier guys from the UFC roster, and we have that thing down in no time."

If Jones needs some help from NBA stars as well, Antetokounmpo has a list of those who could flip the odds against the gorilla.

Fortunately for the Bucks star, he likely won't find himself in such a scenario. Instead, he has more pressing matters to worry about, including where he will play the 2025-26 season after suiting up for the Bucks during his first 12 years of his career.

NBA insider Chris Haynes reported Saturday he will meet with the Bucks to discuss the team's future after ESPN's Shams Charania reported he is "open-minded" to potentially leaving "for the first time in his career."

Chances are the Bucks aren't going to discuss roster construction that would help against a gorilla in said meeting, but Antetokounmpo has his suggestion if they do.
