Giannis Antetokounmpo lists five NBA players that could fight a silverback gorilla

Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo went to X Sunday for a Q&A with fans.

An interesting question was posed when an X user asked Giannis a hypothetical question.

"@Giannis_An34
 You and 4 other current nba players have to fight a silverback gorilla. Life or death situation in the middle of the jungle with no weapons. 

🦍 VS 5 
Pick your 4 players. (Non teammates)"

Giannis answered by saying "😂😂😂 Me, Steve Adams, Zubac, Zack Edey, Jokic."

How do these five players compare to a silverback gorilla?

According to Virunga National Park, the average silverback gorilla "Weighs 430 pounds (195 kg) and stands 5 feet (1.5m) tall. Silverbacks are incredibly strong and can lift over 1763 pounds (800kg) of dead weight."

*measurements per basketball reference

Giannis picked five big players, but I'm not quite sure they'll have enough to compete with a gorilla that is almost twice the weight of some players and that can lift more dead weight than all five players on the list combined.

Some of the players on this list have gotten into scuffles before that weren't pretty.

If any five players had to get the job done, I'd probably bet on these to give the gorilla the best shot out of any sample of five in the NBA right now.
