Nobody is doubting Giannis Antetokounmpo's crazy athletic abilities. He's been dominating practically everybody on the basketball court. He is averaging 28.3 points, 10.1 rebounds, and 4.5 assists.
But it looks like the Greek Freak's athletic abilities will be exclusively for professional basketball — and that's not going to change anytime soon.
In an interview after the Milwaukee Bucks' game with the Washington Wizards, Antetokounmpo was asked about a pass he made during the game because the pass looked like a football gesture.
Antetokounmpo responded, saying that he could be a football player — a “pitcher.”
Take a look at the interview yourself:

This just proves that Antetokounmpo knows nothing about football. There's nothing wrong about that, especially because the Bucks star is very good with the thing he knows best — basketball.
Antetokounmpo is currently leading the Bucks to a 23-20 record, which is enough to place the team 7th in the East.
The team's winning standing can be associated with other great Bucks players, like Eric Bledsoe, Khris Middleton, and Malcolm Brogdon. But many see Antetokounmpo as the cog that holds the entire Bucks machine together.
The team has also been said to be very interested in DeAndre Jordan, a player that can take them to new heights.
But the team may even not need Jordan to bolster their roster. Jabari Parker is eyeing his return to the season. The Bucks will be thankful to have him back as an additional scoring option.
It's good to know that Antetokounmpo will not be playing football anytime soon. We might see something special with the Bucks.
