While onJimmy Kimmel Live, the NBA Hall of Famer and part-owner of the Washington Commanders shared his perspective on the new couple — and how the music superstar has impacted pro football.

“By the way, get one of those Commanders to date Taylor Swift. It seems like you make so much money,”Kimmel, 55, joked to the basketball legend.

“Exactly, well, the NFL is very happy about that whole situation,” Johnson, 64, laughed in response.
