You're gone off the spinach. Your unyielding might transcends logic and inflicts your will upon your foes, as seen in 'Popeye Meets Hercules' (1948).
When you hit a Large or smaller creature with your Unarmed Strike, after you deal damage, you may spend a bonus action to consume 1 serving (1 lb.) of spinach.
If you do, the target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw (equal to 8 + the ability modifier used for your unarmed strike + your Proficiency bonus), or be transformed into a 29.5 in. circumference Wilson NBA standard basketball, filled with 8.5psi of pressurized air, until the end of your next turn.
While the creature is a basketball, they are Blinded, Deafened, and Incapacitated. The basketball has 3d6 hit points, an Armor Class of 13, and Immunity to nonmagical Bludgeoning damage. If the basketball's hit points are reduced to 0, the transformation ends early. If the transformation ends in this way, any damage exceeding the basketball's remaining hit points is dealt to the target when the transformation ends.
Until the transformation ends, you may substitute one of your attack rolls to attempt an Athletics check, tossing the basketball into a hoop, box, barrel, or other appropriately sized nook, with the DC set by your DM before you roll the check. If the designated space is elevated at least 10ft. higher than your starting position, you may increase the DC by 4 to attempt a Dunk, slamming the target down into the nook as you move through the air adjacent to the designated space.
On a successful Athletics check, the target's transformation ends as they land in the designated space, and they take 3d8 Psychic damage, or 5d8 if it was a Dunk. If the target's transformation ends inside an enclosed space, such as a narrow well or small vault, that their normal form can not occupy, they take 4d4 force damage and are moved to the nearest unoccupied space.
You may use this ability a number of times per long rest equal to your Proficiency bonus.
