CHICAGO: The first couple of times the Cavaliers sat down to eat together, Kevin Love surveyed the room and came to an immediate conclusion.
“Nobody eats healthier than I do,” he said. “I’m always paying attention.”
As style of play has evolved in the NBA over the last few years, so too has the dietary needs of players. A number of guys are more health conscious today than ever before, while teams invest millions into nutrition, chefs, sports science and recovery methods. Some players take it more seriously than others.
“There is a lot of science behind it if you feel like getting into it,” Cavs forward Richard Jefferson said.
