ByNBAUSA



With the NFL offseason in full swing, Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward makes sure to have some fun at the NBA All-Star break. On Friday, he appeared before the start of the All-Star Game. Before tip-off, Ward shared a confident look at his basketball skills, despite the fact that he’s not playing.

During a brief pregame interview, the 23-year-old quarterback compared his basketball skills to that NBA legend Kobe BryantAccording to Sports Central LA Ward also stated that he was a serious hooper as an adolescent, and holds the record for most points scored in high school.

“My career high is 50 (points),” Ward said. “It’s documented as well. All-time leading scorer at my high school. So, you know, I have to go with my background a little bit, but, you know, I love playing basketball … Kobe, for sure,” Ward said when asked who he models his basketball game after. “That’s my favorite player, and I think I just hobble like him.”

It’s nice to see the former No. 1 pick having fun in the offseason. His final NFL regular season game ended abruptly in the 18th week after Cam Ward suffered a shoulder injury early in the first quarter of the Titans’ 41-7 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The injury was never considered serious, and Ward is expected to be fully healthy for most of the offseason.

After a miserable 2025-26 campaign, things are starting to look up for Tennessee. After hiring Roberto Saleh as their new head coach, the Titans will focus on filling out the roster. The club is projected to have about $100 million in projected cap space and own the No. 4 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
