Albert Pujols and D.Ok. Metcalf aren’t in the identical universe athletically at this level of their lives. But, they shared a basketball courtroom Friday as a part of the NBA Superstar Sport, and I gotta say, it’s startling that one of many biggest baseball gamers of this century — coming off a 24-home run swan tune season — already appears like a beer league slugger.
Describing that sequence as Metcalf and Pujols buying and selling buckets is absurd. One man did a chin-up on the rim, and the opposite makes Winnie-the-Pooh seem like an Olympian. Other than seeing how shortly Pujols let himself go, the spotlight of the night was Metcalf.
I do know he simply blocked a anonymous henchmen superstar (in all probability one Deadspin might be interviewing very quickly), however holy hell are NFL extensive receivers proficient. In the event you couldn’t infer from the highlights above, Metcalf was the sport’s MVP. I imply, he doesn’t even take a step within the paint on this flush.

The Seattle Seahawk standout is among the NFL’s best athletes at any position, and I feel bad for the celebs who showed up thinking they’d be able to showcase their set shot. Though The Miz did sink a half-court heave that would’ve forced OT had it not come milliseconds after the final buzzer.
Regardless, congrats to Metcalf, and the schlubs who played against him for not getting baptized. Though, there was one former NFL player who did take it on the chin in a crossover sport Friday night.
Greg Hardy’s bare-knuckle boxing career goes the way of Gorgeous George
Remember former defensive lineman Greg Hardy who hopped to MMA after off-the-field issues forced him out of the NFL? Well, he returned to combat sports after a lengthy hiatus for (I’m assuming) a payday, and got that plus some bonus brain damage.
“I fuckin’ hate pikeys.” However wait, there’s extra.
Properly, I don’t really feel so dangerous for Pujols now (although I’m undecided how I’m imagined to really feel about Hardy). It might’ve been worse — as a result of getting knocked out by multiverse Jay Glazer is 150,000 occasions worse.
