Precious Achiuwa<\/a> is somewhat of an undersized center. With Isaiah Hartenstein<\/a> signing with the Oklahoma City Thunder<\/a>, the New York Knicks<\/a> had a clear need for center depth. That is especially more true because starting center Mitchell Robinson<\/a> has a lengthy history of missing action due to injury. Jericho Sims<\/a> is also on the team, but he hasn\u2019t shown enough to be more than an end-of-the-bench player.<\/p>\n

Listed at six-foot-eight and 225 pounds, Achiuwa eventually did re-sign with the Knicks. About a month into free agency, the 24-year-old agreed on a one-year deal worth $6 million to remain with New York. While head coach Tom Thibodeau normally likes playing a rim-protecting big man for all 48 minutes, he grew comfortable playing the hard-nosed Achiuwa in the middle.<\/p>\n

Achiuwa has shown no fear even when faced with much larger centers such as Nikola Jokic<\/a> or Joel Embiid<\/a>, who Achiuwa guarded at times in the Knicks first round matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers<\/a> last season. Why would he be afraid of another human when he has no worries in the presence of the king of the jungle?<\/p>\n

Fearless Precious Achiuwa Posts Video Walking With Lions<\/h2>\n

Lions, Tigers, Bears, Oh My<\/h3>\n

It is safe to say that the majority of the human race would be completely overcome with fear if they were to encounter a lion in the open. Most of them would probably see their life flash before their eyes and expect that they have reached their final day on earth. Precious Achiuwa is not the majority of the human race and is clearly built different.<\/p>\n

On his Instagram, Achiuwa posted a short video of him just casually walking with two lions. He made it seem as simple as walking dogs, using their tails as a leash.<\/p>\n
