Milwaukee Bucks star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo caused quite a stir on Tuesday against the New York Knicks when he jumped over Tim Hardaway Jr. on his way to a fastbreak alley-oop slam.
With the fifth-year shooting guard standing at 6-foot-6, it made the play even more impressive, with Rob Perez even making an argument on why it could be the best poster of all time.
The tweet indicated Hardaway's listed height, along with an analyzed assumption of how many inches his waist is from the ground, as The Greek Freak's foot was at the same level on the poster.

Although it is not confirmed yet, Antetokounmpo definitely made a case to tie Wilt Chamberlain's record for having the highest recorded vertical leap. Should that be the case, the 23-year-old has once again proven that he is a freak of nature and a once-in-a-lifetime type of player.
With his impressive all-around game at the highest level, coupled with his athleticism and mad hops, there could be more plays in the future such as the one the Bucks superstar pulled off on Tuesday night.
The highlight reel play helped the Bucks win easily against the home team Knicks, 103-89. Antetokounmpo finished the game with a double-double of 23 points and 11 rebounds, to go along with six assists, one steal, and two blocks.
The win also helped improve the Bucks' record to 30-23 for the season and pulled them within half-a-game behind the Cleveland Cavaliers and Washington Wizards for third place in the Eastern Conference playoff race.
