Steven Adams, fresh off the Houston Rockets’ media day, just dropped a bombshell prediction about the entire sports world: when “Grand Theft Auto 6” finally lands in November, he expects performance across the NBA, NFL, and every other league to absolutely “plummet.” This isn’t just some casual hot take, either; Adams truly believes this game release is going to mess with the pros in a big way.
The November “Plummet” Warning
Media day is usually all about optimism and excitement, right? Players are in peak shape, coaches are pumped, and everyone’s ready to build on last year. But Adams, known for always keeping it real, delivered a wild card prediction this Tuesday. He’s convinced that November, the month GTA 6 comes out, will see a noticeable dip in the quality of play. “I will say, you guys should anticipate November, the performance of the league, league-wide… GTA is dropping,” Adams stated. He specifically told everyone to “look at NFL, look at all the leagues and watch them plummet, mate. Just for the month of November, performance is gonna go down.” He thinks it’ll bounce back, sure, once “most of the boys will get it done, hopefully they finish the game,” but that initial hit is coming. This dude has clearly put some serious thought into this.
Coaches, Scouts, and the Human Element
Here’s the kicker: Adams isn’t just talking about players glued to their screens. He firmly believes the “coaching and scouts are gonna be horrendous, mate. Just for November, but it should bounce back in December, hopefully. Should be good.” That’s a bold call! He’s been in the league long enough to see how big gaming has gotten, and while popular games like “Call of Duty” drop every year and grab attention, “GTA 6” is on an entirely different level. We’re talking 13 years since “GTA 5” hit shelves in mid-September 2013! Adams expects focus league-wide to fall off considerably when November 19 rolls around and “GTA 6” officially drops. It’s all about the human element in sports, how off-court or off-field happenings can mess with performance, and Adams thinks this one’s gonna be felt across the entire landscape.
So, get ready, sports fans. When November arrives, we’re not just watching the games, we’re watching to see if Adams’ wild prediction comes to life. Will your favorite players be too busy exploring Los Santos to nail that game-winner? Will coaches really be slacking on the tape? We’ll find out soon enough. Mark your calendars for November 19, because the stakes just got a whole lot higher than mere wins and losses.
