If football doesn't work out for Dallas Cowboys star Micah Parsons in the long run, maybe he can try out for the NBA?

Besides having the athletic ability to thrive in the sport, it looks like the defensive guru has mean handles as well to punish any defender. Just look at his latest pick-up game where he left his defender stunned after an epic crossover.

Parsons shared the story on Instagram, adding that ā€œnobody in the leagueā€ is guarding him with his skillset.

Of course that's a pretty bold claim to make, but hey, who doesn't want to see Micah Parsons going against some of the best players in the NBA? The Cowboys star, at least, has the confidence to take on the challenge.

It is also worth noting that Parsons once called out Draymond Green during the NBA Finals after the Golden State Warriors star struggled. At one point, Green had more fouls than points, and so the 23-year-old couldn't help but say he would have put up better numbers than the Dubs vet.

Surely, it looks like he's not all bark but no bite.

The Cowboys linebacker is not only the NFL player who can hoop, though. Remember how Tyreek Hill showed his shooting and ability to drive to the basket a la Nate Robinson? Thinking about it, perhaps the NFL can actually field a competitive basketball team if they choose to.
