Celtics player Kristaps Porzingis sparked a lively debate about whether humans could defeat a gorilla in a fight. He boldly stated that 20 average humans could potentially win, citing his knowledge from MMA analysis. Other Celtics players shared differing views; while Derrick White estimated 100 NBA players could succeed, Luke Kornet strongly agreed, emphasizing strategy and environment. The conversation attracted attention from Tara Stoinski, a gorilla expert, who suggested that humans could leverage their numerical advantage in a strategic manner to overpower a gorilla.
"I have a very strong opinion, I've even watched some MMA guys breaking down this kind of stuff. It was my opinion even before I gathered all the information - about 20 average humans would put up a good fight and possibly beat one gorilla."
"This is what everybody thinks, oh a gorilla would grab you and just crush your skull. If we sacrifice five guys and just get on the gorilla and poke him in the eye, you know?"
"I'd like to think we can figure it out. If there's like, environment, then 100 percent us." said Kornet.
"[I think] in terms of kind of being able to prolong a battle that could eventually favor humans, the numbers game factors in significantly, as long as there’s good strategy involved."
