A Somewhat Beefy Donovan McNabb Plays Pickup Basketball with Tyreke Evans in New Jersey

No one wanted Donovan McNabb. To play quarterback, at least. Former Five is, however, doing work for the NFL Network and, on Thursdays, is a weekly guest on Daily News Live (he’s even doing promos for it!). But he’s not getting paid to play football. So, it seems, he’s keeping in shape by playing his second love, basketball.
This winter, it was brought to the world’s attention that McNabb was playing mens league bball in Minnesota. Now? Pickup games with staff and Tyreke Evans at Nexxt Level Sports, in Voorhees.
In just the first minute of this video, taken last week at the New Jersey sports complex, we see that McNabb’s post moves and corner jumper are in top form, but that his footwork on defense leaves much to be desired. Oh yeah, and something about a soaking wet wife beater, too. Jump it.
