Many fans reacted to the clip saying that LiAngelo should have been an NFL player.

Ready for what? To help Overtime get engagement on their tweets?"

LiAngelo is still only 25, so how he decides to pursue the rest of his career will be worth watching.

His two brothers (Lonzo and LaMelo) have been among the best point guards in the NBA when they have been healthy.
