Seahawks WR DK Metcalf put on quite a show at the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game Friday night in Salt Lake City.
Metcalf earned MVP honors with 20 points, 10 rebounds, and several highlight reel plays that made it look like he should be playing in the real NBA All-Star Game on Sunday. Metcalf’s performance earned Team Dwayne the victory in the annual exhibition match.
Just check out some of the highlights. Metcalf started the game with a bang:

Safe to say, Metcalf might be the best basketball player on the Seahawks:

This isn’t the first time Metcalf has impressed in a sport other than football. In May 2021, Metcalf attempted to qualify for the Olympic Trials in the 100m dash and placed 15th out of 17 runners. His 10.37 time was just short, but still impressive considering limited training during the offseason.
No word yet whether or not Metcalf will participate in the upcoming MLB All-Star Celebrity Softball Game at T-Mobile Park this summer, but you know he would put on a show.
