Jason Kelce Shares Wild Story About Punching Younger Brother Travis In The Face For The Most Ridiculous Reason.
Jason Kelce recently shared a priceless story about how he and younger brother Travis once got physical during a recreational basketball game.
Travis and Jason Kelce are as close as brothers can get. You saw Travis cry during Jason’s retirement press conference, not to mention that the two co-host their popular “New Heights” podcast that draws millions of viewers.
The idea of Jason and Travis getting into a physical altercation seems crazy when you see how much fun they have together in public and behind the cameras.
But according to Jason, the fierce competition between the two once led to an all-out physical brawl in their home. The catalyst of the brawl? Nothing more than a recreational basketball game (Jason was a junior in high school, Travis a freshman), as he explained on Shaquille O’Neal’s “The Big Podcast” (via Us Weekly).
The confrontation got heated when Jason Kelce began fouling Travis, who was dominating the older brother in their game:
“He says, ‘That’s bulls—t, that’s a foul. I’m like, ‘I don’t see any refs out here. I don’t see anybody calling it.’ He picks the ball up, throws it at me and goes in the house. I’m like, ‘This motherf—ker just threw the ball at me?’
“I go in there, I grab him on the shoulder and I punch him…This was the second time I ever punched him. I don’t know how it got that heated. I punched him in the face…Every time before that he would cry or whatever. He took this punch, scooped me up off my feet and slammed me on the kitchen floor so hard the oven got knocked off the tracks.”
