Shane Gillis Says He Loves Sixers’ Jared McCain, I Send Him Drunk DMs!

Comedian Shane Gillis can’t get enough of TikTokkin’ Sixers rookie Jared McCain — in fact, he says he pours his heart to the hooper when he’s drunk … but so far, he’s being left on read.

The “Tires” actor made the hilarious admission during a recent episode of “Matt and Shane’s Secret Podcast” … when he said he’s a huge fan of how McCain can balance being a professional basketball player and social media sensation at the same time.

“There’s a bro I like right now,” Gillis said. “His anima is fully liberated. Jared McCain for the Sixers. He’s the guy doing the f***ing TikTok dances. His anima’s out. He does not care.”

“He’s dropping 30 and doing TikToks and everyone’s mad, dude.”

Of course, McCain — who has more than 4 million followers on TikTok — is known to be unapologetically himself and has been dubbed the NBA’s first real Troy Bolton. He paints his nails to match his uniform … and fans have even stitched his clips with his on-court highlight reels.

Gillis gave his best McCain impression … singing the beginning of the popular “2 Days Into College” tune — a reference to McCain’s vid that has attracted more than 12 million views.

“I love this dude so much,” Gillis continued. “I DM him and he doesn’t answer. I get drunk and DM him. I go, ‘You’re the man.'”
