PureDWTS Season 28 Rumors and Watchout: DWTS Instagram Posts…a Basketball Player??
Well, it’s been a bit since we had a basketball player hasn’t it? I’m too lazy to go look. 🙂 So far, the guesses I’ve seen include Kobe, Magic, and a few others I’ve never heard of. Oh and one funny guy who said “Iconic ball skills…must be a porn star” which I have to admit made me chuckle. Anyway, I know nothing about BBall, so ya’ll have any ideas?? I’m thinking it could be Kobe, since he’s been rumored MANY times in the past. Although this guy looks to be on the smaller side. Who knows?
This star has iconic ball skills. He’s ready to work for the Mirrorball! #DWTS pic.twitter.com/x59kCyr8ed

ETA: And a couple sleuths on twitter, including @DWTSGossip may have this one figured out.
But Michael Jordan has the similar bracelet on his other wrist. @DWTSGossip pic.twitter.com/ojJ7hIsyxG

I was thinking basketball or football, and someone “iconic” would be well known.
Two other names I saw floating around were Karl Malone and Michael Strahan, though I think if it were him there’d be different clues.
On Instagram they seem to have one word capitalized in the caption. For this one it’s WORK. wondering if that’s also a clue. Maybe a phrase whoever it is said a lot. I don’t know basketball well but any of the guesses would be awesome.
Agree that it might be basketball icon Michael Jordan. The bracelet photo seems like a match and has many work quotes. WORK is a bolded clue on dancing’s IG post. Jordan is all about work ethic. That would be a great get!
That’s michael Jordan?! If that really him…..well he gets easily to be my fav basketball player ever on the show.
Michael Jordan has prettier hands than that. I don’t think it’s him. And Kobe’s fingers kinda look like that, but he never wanted to do the show before, so why now?
By tha way, why now, after that shit show of a season, would the “bigger stars” want to do the show? I hope it’s not Kobe, but I’m excited (and a bit apprehensive) for the new season.
What I really want to see though, more than any contestant or pro, are fewer commercials, so the dances can be longer, and proper eliminations, the way they used to be done.
I think it might be Kobe as well. If WORK is a clue, he did a documentary wit Spie Lee years ago – Kobe Bryant Work. Sorry for the misspelling- I’m on my cell phone and it won’t let me make corrections for some reason. Excited for Wednesday.
Also on the other post where it said all new cast I wonder if that means all new judges since LEN retired, Carrieanne is on The Talk – I would miss Bruno if that was the case
Based on the newest clue from DWTS
“This star has iconic ball skills. He’s ready to work for the Mirrorball!”
Could it be retired basketball player Karl Malone? Nicknamed “The Mailman” and the second-highest-scoring NBA player by total career regular season points scored.
Also…. an ironic coincidence i found….
His son Karl Malone Jr. Is friends with #DWTS pro Brandon
Armstrong!!

Another guess I’ve seen is Scottie Pippen.
@Jane5, as far as I know the judges are back-they’ve posted about the new season, and Tom said in a tweet that essentially they were back (he made some reference about the scoring this season with a picture of the 3 of them, and said something to the effect of don’t expect 10 paddles so early). I think new cast just means the new celebs/new pros.
Thanks, Kara – good to know!
I will be excited on any of the said possible basketball players. Bring them on…especially any Chicago Bulls player!!! Yay
Hmm.. the Scottie Pippin guess might be a thing, wasn’t his daughter a DWTS Jr. Contestant?
If Scottie Pippen or MJ #23 are dancing, I promise to tune in regularly again….after my LONG hiatus!
