Celtics players weigh in on viral ‘100 people vs. gorilla’ debate

Could 100 men beat a gorilla in a fight?

That question is being debated on social media, and the Celtics’ social media team ask the players for their takes in a video posted to the team’s X account.

Noted UFC enthusiast Kristaps Porzingis was eager to give his opinion.

“I have a very strong opinion, I’ve even watched some MMA guys breaking down this kind of stuff,” Porzingis said. “Of course it depends on the skill-level and the size of the humans. It was my opinion even before I gathered all the information- and I think this is correct – about 20 average humans would put up a good fight and possibly beat one gorilla.
