Despite the postseason still being alive, rumors about Giannis Antetokounmpo are building up. Many teams reportedly showing interest have one or a combination of superstars, rising talents, or a high volume of draft capital.

Moreover, the LA Clippers could be interested, as with Antetokounmpo next season, they could make the quickest run in history to the NBA Finals. Their future will likely be spoiled for the foreseeable future. Still, the ultimate destination is a championship parade, and LA can reach it with three superstars, two of whom have MVPs in their showrooms.

The Clippers' package for a top-five player in the world remains a mystery, but one piece that must be given up is Ivica Zubac. He was one of the best centers in the NBA last season, and there is no chance Milwaukee lets their legend go without attaining the hook-shot magician.

These rumors about the Clippers and others will likely continue for several weeks. There is no stopping point until a trade is made, but Antetokounmpo posted a question-and-answer segment on X(formerly Twitter) to interact with fans.

Of the several questions he was asked, the former NBA champion mentioned Zubac in the wildest way possible.

Antetokounmpo shares praise on Zubac's size and strength by picking him to combat one of the wildest animals in the jungle

A social media trend in recent weeks has surrounded the chances of one hundred humans taking down a Gorilla. Many have picked their side of choice, and experts have chimed in, but of course, the real answer is unknown.

Furthermore, Giannis Antetokounmpo was asked his take on X, but with a twist. Instead of 100 humans, the question referred to who he would pick along his side to take down a singular Gorilla.

Given that Antetokounmpo is six feet eleven inches and 242 pounds, he has a solid chance at success, but the guys he picks must contribute to the battle. A loss would occur if his assistance is not durable.

Zubac, at seven feet, 240 pounds, was selected by the iconic Milwaukee Buck to conquer the Gorilla. The rest of his picks were Steven Adams, Zach Edey, and Nikola Jokic.

As expected, Antetokounmpo went with nothing but the most massive centers in basketball to do the impossible. Not only are these five beasts, but they also possess strength, toughness, and fierceness from a human outlook.

That said, Zubac's inclusion in the mix shows Antetokounmpo's praise for the Croatian star's overall strength at the height that towers most.
