OMG Alex Len would terrify NFL defenses if he played tight end

If Alex Len ever decided to play football, the world might explode.

From a recent nba.com/suns article:

For roughly 30 minutes after Tuesday's practice at Talking Stick Resort Arena in downtown Phoenix, Suns center Alex Len used a unique approach to improve his catching ability. Instead of accepting entry passes into the post or lobs at the rim, he was receiving pigskin bullets shot out of a football-throwing machine that he purchased himself on eBay.

"I was just watching videos on the internet of wide receivers catching the balls," Len said. "I thought it was a good idea to work on my hands and do something different."

That is so cool.
