The Oklahoma City Thunder star revealed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon that there is no chance he could succeed in the NFL.<\/p><p>&ldquo;No chance,&rdquo; Gilgeous-Alexander said. &ldquo;I wouldn&rsquo;t disrespect them like that, nah&hellip; Just like how they can&rsquo;t come on the basketball court, I can&rsquo;t go on the football field.&rdquo;<\/p><p>The 27-year-old guard emphasized that every athlete should stay within their lane. He shared that while he once played football briefly as a child, the experience ended quickly.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Shai Gilgeous-Alexander doesn&rsquo;t think he could play in the NFL &#128557;<br><br>&ldquo;No chance&hellip; I fell on the football and I got the wind knocked out me &mdash; I didn&rsquo;t like that at all so I quit right away.&rdquo;<br><br>(Via <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FallonTonight?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>@FallonTonight<\/a>) <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/JRAkynsHWu\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/JRAkynsHWu<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Fullcourtpass (@Fullcourtpass) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Fullcourtpass\/status\/1964533927001079878?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>September 7, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>&ldquo;I played running back, so I got hit a lot,&rdquo; Shai Gilgeous-Alexander recalled. &ldquo;And I fell on the ball when I got tackled a couple of times&hellip; And I got the wind knocked out of me.&rdquo;<\/p><p>Basketball has proven to be the right path.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">MVP Honors Highlight Thunder Championship Run<\/h2><p>In the <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/nba\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>NBA <\/a>2024-25 season, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was crowned NBA MVP after averaging 32.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 1.7 steals, and 1.0 blocks per game.<\/p><p>His dominance continued into the postseason, where he led the Thunder to an NBA championship.
