DeAndre Jordan Hides To Eat Popcorn
DeAndre JordanAs if Clippers rookie DeAndre Jordan didn’t already have enough problems. Having only played in 10 games this season and a total of 74 minutes, when the Clippers gave him a blog on their site called “Jordan’s Journal,” I doubt this is what they had in mind:
“Rich Williams, our strength and conditioning coach, always gets so mad at me when he knows that I’m eating sweets. Let me tell you something about Rich. Okay look, I’m not the biggest guy in the world at all, but Rich seems to think that I’m going to be overweight when I finish playing basketball. If I’m drinking a Gatorade, he’ll take the Gatorade out of my hands and give me water. If we get Krispy Kreme donuts, he’ll take the donut out of my hand and give me a protein bar. Before games, I’ll get a little thing of popcorn and hide so I can eat it in peace. Then he’ll come out of nowhere, take the popcorn and give me a plate of fruit. He always tells me, ‘DeAndre, you’re going to be 400 pounds when you’re finished playing if you eat like this.’ No way! It’s not in my DNA. I don’t like Rich.”
If you were Jordan, listed at 6-foot-11, 250 pounds, would you sneak around to eat popcorn?

diet is very underrated in sports, and who eats popcorn before a game? you can eat whatever you want when you’re at home? that’s just dumb

Where exactly does a 6′11 250 pounder “hide” to eat popcorn? I can just imagine his size 22 sneaks sticking out from under the curtain….

Denial is the first step…His metabolism could handle it. Post-retirement, though? Ask Patrick Ewing about Krispy Kremes’ effects.

Yao drinks a cup of coffee before tip, but a grown man hiding to eat is funny

A grown ass, big azz man running away looking over his shoulder, trying to hide a 25 cent bag of popcorn. And when he gets to his hiding place, he still SNEAKS to grab a fingerful. Then gets caught. I’m DYING IN TEARS right now at the visual. That’s a big dude.

This guy played 74 min all year … He could eat a McDonalds everyday and nobody would notice … Please, give a blog to Eddy Curry and Jerome James so they can write while eating.

George W Kush Sr says:
This guy is not a athlete. He may be more gifted athleticly than most of us, but he aint no athlete. Why dont he eat what he wants when Rich aint around, like at home or something?
What kind of a bitch made nigga is this? Making hundreds of thousands of dollars and all he can talk about is not liking Rich because he wont let him have a Krispy Kreme?If dude didn’t have all this money, i could picture him asking for the manager at McDonald’s because he aint get enough bbq sauce for them fries. What a loser.

Normal popcorn, without tons of butter, is fairly healthy and a good snack option. Jordan will find out that as you get older food effects your body differently. Then he’ll have to be a man and make decisions without Rich.
