Could your favorite country crooner also dominate the basketball court? Here are some country giants that might have some serious hoops skills.
First up is Blake Shelton, the 6'5" country music superstar and longtime coach on "The Voice." With 29 number-one hits, Shelton has proven his talent in the music industry. But could his height translate to on-court dominance? While we haven't seen Shelton's dunking abilities, his stature certainly suggests potential.
Next on the list is Trace Adkins, who also boasts a towering 6'6" frame. Before his successful country music career, Adkins was an offensive lineman for Louisiana Tech. This football background suggests athleticism and strength, making him a strong contender for a slam dunk champion.
Finally, Charles Kelley of Lady A joins the ranks of potential basketball stars. Standing at 6'6", the six-time Grammy winner, known for hits like "Need You Now," clearly has the height advantage. Whether Kelley has the skills to match remains a mystery, but we could imagine him owning both the stage and the court.
With so many tall country stars, it's only a matter of time before a 7-footer emerges, ready to take the country music world and the basketball court by storm.
