Watch Hanley Ramirez and Joe Kelly make basketball look easy

Perhaps the real reason the Celtics didn’t make a blockbuster trade on Friday is because Danny Ainge knows he has secret talent right in Boston.

With the Red Sox, that is.

After defeating Northeastern in an afternoon exhibition game on Thursday, the Sox visited pitcher Chris Sale’s alma matter, Florida Gulf Coast University, to watch FGCU men’s basketball take on Stetson.

First baseman Hanley Ramirez posted two videos to Instagram documenting the team’s pre-game activities, which included his own “nothing but net” half-court bucket.

Ramirez isn’t the only one with the hidden skills, however, as pitcher Joe Kelly drilled a one-handed full-court heave just moments before.

Sale might not boast the long ball, but the pitcher showed that he, too, has a few basketball tricks up his sleeve.
