The NBA fandom thoroughly enjoyed the All-Star weekend despite the absence of a few superstars like Stephen Curry, Zion Williamson, and Kevin Durant. Additionally, the Slam Dunk Contest had some unknown faces for the competition. However, a terrific display of talent in all the events exponentially increased fans’ entertainment as the annual NBA gala turned out to be a blockbuster success. The Celebrity All-Star game was an event that especially attracted the attention of fans. A certain NFL star took the game by storm, impressing even Shaquille O’Neal. The star’s set of skills was so impressive that he was apparently chosen for a surprise ‘drug test’ following the weekend, after another of his incredible feats went viral on the Internet.

The NBA All-Star Weekend surprised even the uninitiated, as every event delivered a lot of surprises. One of them was DK Metcalf dominating the Celebrity All-Star game and winning the MVP award to prove his prowess.

In his recent Instagram stories, Shaq appreciated the NFL wide receiver’s impressive dunking and defensive feats in the game. The video shared by Shaq also had an unreal vertical Jump from Metcalf. However, by all means, that jump might as well be edited to gain audience interaction. Metcalf also revealed that he was called in for a surprise ‘Drug Test’ after his All-Star Weekend blockbuster show.

Although it is probably a routine inquiry by the NFL for its players, one cannot help but notice the timing of it. The viral video showcased the NFL star jumping to an unreal height to catch the football, which soon went viral on the Internet. The Seattle Seahawks star undoubtedly has supreme athletic abilities, but his jump might be a little too much work for a human being to accomplish, as most fan theories have predicted.
