NBA – 20 meters, 1 dribble: Giannis’ new mutant action! (video)
Giannis Antetokounmpo dribbled across the Bucks courtNBA
Giannis Antetokounmpo is capable of doing some pretty unique things on the court thanks to his size, speed and athleticism. The proof this Tuesday against the Knicks, when he decided to cross the entire court in 1 dribble!
Humiliated last season with an elimination in the first round of the playoffs against the Heat, despite being seeded no. 8 in the Eastern Conference, Giannis Antetokounmpo began this new exercise with other intentions. He knows that he will not be allowed to make mistakes with the arrival of a leader like Damian Lillard to support him, and it is a pressure that could be beneficial to him.
But before thinking about Larry O’Brien, the Bucks have their eyes on the In-Season Tournament. First in the group stage, they have just validated their ticket to Las Vegas by defeating the Knicks thanks to a great Greek Freak. He was the author of 35 points, 10 assists, 8 rebounds and above all the action of the night. He calmly crossed the field in 1 dribble…

Giannis’ new legendary action against the Knicks!
Giannis Antetokounmpo recovered this mess on his own free throw line, took a dribble at midfield, started his double step behind the Knicks 3-point line, and finished his action with a big dunk. Only he would do such a thing, and for the fans it’s almost normal, since it would be totally illegal.
That’s called traveling but it doesn’t exist in the NBA

This is what we call a walk but the rule does not exist in the NBA
For those who say this was travel you're clueless.
It was travel x2, double dribble, and a carry.— Levin Burant Investing (@LevinBurant) December 6, 2023
For those who say it was walking, you don’t know anything about it. It was a double walk, a dribble recovery and a ball carry.
Bro took like 5 steps before he dribbled

The guy took at least 5 steps before dribbling.
Giannis Antetokounmpo is used to this type of action, he who likes to go off alone on the counterattack. He has always used his long strides to get ahead of his opponents, but for fans, that doesn’t excuse the walking.
