Brian T. Smith: Four humongous boxes of Bojangles chicken for #UtahJazz after Bobcats win. Big Turkey drew serious heat for trying to eat before Big Al. Twitter

Now, I wasn't there, and he is a rookie, but this can't be good for chemistry. I guess this is what locker rooms are like sometimes, and I know that Al loves him some fried chicken, but really?
 
This rookie hazing stuff in sports is so juvenile to me. A few months ago I saw that Ricky Rubio is forced to wear a pink Justin Beiber backpack on the road. It just seems so nonsensical to me. As long as Big Al still gets to eat who gives a damn if Enes eats before him, hierarchy be damned.
 
I think it is good as long as it is all in good fun. It probably helps Kanter come out of his shell a bit more, and it is just a rite of passage. All the stuff they are doing to Enes is not out of line or cruel.
 
Bigger question is who paid for that chicken? If Big Al had dropped part of his 17 million a year and $80 pier diem for chicken he'd better dang well get the first bite.

Now if they made Enes buy the freakin' chicken let Enes eat the freakin' chicken.
 
I don't like the fact that pro athletes eat fast food after the games at all.

Meh, they just got done running up and down the court and got a good work out in. A little bit of fried chicken never hurt anybody.
 
hmm, i swear i just read the same story

Aw, nuts, well, I promise I looked for a similar thread, but I didn't make the connection to hazing.

As for fried chicken, sure once in a while it's fine. And it looks like this is one of many stupid hazing things going on, I don't get it, I understand that it happens, but man, if I were Kanter, I guarantee I'd be having all the same problems becuase I don't get it.

It's not a matter of calories. It's a matter of what exactly you eat after such workout to have a better and faster recovery. Fast food is very far from best choice. I thought proper diet is a part of being a pro.

Well it sounds like everyone was eating it. Our whole team is going to get injured tomorrow because of Bojangles.

Agreed, it can be embarrassing for players sometimes but if they are asses then they usually laugh about it later and they are all better friends for it. It is worrisome when teams aren't hazing a little here and there. I believe Jazz did not do much hazing for awhile and Jaron Collins brought it back and everyone had a good time with it.

This is assuming the hazing is with in reason and not down right mean.
