Puka Nacua Says He Could Hoop Professionally ‘Maybe In Another Country’ After ASG Show

Puka Nacua put his hoops skills on full display at the NBA’s All-Star festivities last month … and he tells TMZ Sports if he ever needed basketball to pay his bills, he could probably get it done professionally overseas!!

The Rams wideout put on the show on Feb. 16 at the All-Star Celebrity Game in Indianapolis … scoring 16 points while throwing down two highly impressive dunks. It was so eye-opening, many wondered if the football player could actually transition just fine into the sport if he wanted to.

So, when we got him out at LAX this month … we asked the question — and he didn’t say no!!!

While he was sure he could never get it done in the NBA, the 22-year-old didn’t rule out other pro leagues across the pond … telling us, “Maybe in another country!”

Nacua, however, doesn’t seem interested at all in pursuing another career anytime soon — telling us straight up, “I’m a lot better at football, that’s for sure.”

Of course, there’s really no reason whatsoever to even explore at this point. The former BYU standout just had one of the greatest rookie seasons in NFL history, catching 105 passes for 1,486 yards and six touchdowns.
