Jason Kelce set to dunk during Sixers game
Philadelphia Eagles legend Jason Kelce is lacing up his sneakers for a basketball dunk challenge.
Catching both basketball and football enthusiasts by surprise, the Philadelphia 76ers revealed Wednesday that Kelce will take on the dunk challenge during the team’s January 29 matchup against the Sacramento Kings.
Kelce, who retired from the NFL in 2023, stands at 6 feet 3 inches. However, this has not deterred his confidence in being able to dunk. The NFL star had announced on the New Heights podcast last month that he would embark on a 30-day training programme to accomplish this feat.
The 38-year-old will now have the opportunity to showcase his progress in front of his loyal Philadelphia supporters later this month, when the Sixers host the Kings.
While details are still scarce, one thing’s for sure: it’s going to be a spectacle. With his track record of embracing challenges, fans can expect Kelce to bring his A-game (or at least, his best attempt at a dunk).
Jason Kelce enjoyed a distinguished 13-year tenure as the Philadelphia Eagles’ esteemed center, amassing an impressive array of accolades, including a Super Bowl LII championship, multiple First-Team All-Pro and Pro Bowl recognitions. Over the course of his career, Kelce solidified his reputation as one of the premier centers in the sport’s history, known for his exceptional athleticism, tenacity, and leadership prowess.
Since retiring, Jason Kelce has successfully transitioned to a media career, co-hosting the New Heights podcast with younger brother and Chiefs star, Travis Kelce. He’s also a valued contributor to ESPN, bringing his expert analysis and charismatic personality to their coverage.
