WINGSPAN
ACHILLES TENDON
Antetokounmpo’s wingspan of 7-foot-3 is 4 inches longer than his height—and has helped him average a steal per game this year.
Research shows longer tendons can aid jumping and sprinting. Giannis’ Achilles tendons are 13.5 inches, nearly double those of the average adult male.

HEIGHT
Next for the Bucks? Getting their star to take advantage of his sharp eyesight and hoops instincts so he can better anticipate plays.
If the 6-foot-11 Antetokounmpo remains at small forward, he’ll do so as the tallest wing in the league—by a full inch.
