The NBA community on Twitter were left dumbstruck as to how tall the wife of Giannis Antetokounmpo is, after the pair were seen dancing together in order to celebrate her 30th birthday.
Giannis Antetokounmpo is always in the news. The Greek Freak is mostly amongst the headlines for his incredible basketball ability that sees him ball for the Milwaukee Bucks as well as the Greek national team (he is currently on national duty with Greece in the EuroBasket 2022) as well as his physical dominance, but this time he is trending because of his wife.
Antetokounmpo was spotted celebrating his wife Mariah Riddlesprigger’s 30th birthday as the pair danced wildly to celebrate the occasion. But more than the Greek Freak celebrating, it was his wife who caught all the attention from the NBA community because of her gigantic height.
It has to be noted that Giannis Antetokounmpo stands at 6 feet and 11 inches, and is one of the tallest active players in the game right now. But to the utter shock of his fans on Twitter, his wife Mariah towered over him in the video – making even the Greek Freak look small in comparison.
Mariah Riddlesprigger turned out as a volleyball player for Rice University in Texas, but there was no way that the fans expected her to be taller than one of the tallest players in the NBA right now. Therefore, fans on Twitter were left stumped when the video surfaced – and came up with some extremely surprised questions.
While one fan exclaimed “She can’t be this tall dawg”, another asked “Damn how tall is his wife?”.
Another fan was hilarious enough to say “Yo his wife gotta get in the paint and play some center.” However, there are doubts over if Mariah is actually that tall.
As it turns out, Giannis’ wife is not actually that tall. It turns out that Mariah was only standing on a chair, explaining why she towered over her husband in the aforementioned video.
