NBA Star Steven Adams Says GTA 6's Launch Will Lead to a 'League-Wide' Drop in Performance for Athletes and Coaches

Houston Rockets center Steven Adams has warned that NBA players can expect a league-wide performance drop in November due to the release of Grand Theft Auto 6. In an interview with media, Adams noted that not only will the NBA be affected, but also other sports such as the NFL. He explained that the distraction caused by GTA 6 could impact athletes and coaches, but expects their performance to improve in December once they have spent enough time playing the game.

Adams joked to the media that fans should anticipate a November decline in performance, stating that "GTA is dropping." He added that while most players should manage to finish the game, some may not have the same level of rest as usual. The NBA star's comments come amid a growing trend of athletes joking about their performance dropping whenever a new Call of Duty game is released. However, the impact of GTA 6 on professional athletes remains to be seen.
