After playing with Green Bay Packers Offensive LIneman David Bakhtiari, the NFL player went on to mention how playing with Ninja was like playing ‘Grand Theft Auto with all the cheat codeas and five-stars.’
Well that was fun. “How’d it feel playing with @Ninja?” You may ask: Basically like playing GTA with all the cheat codes in and 5 Stars. #4inarow #assistman #HackSawRidge #JohnStockton
