OAKLAND – Two weeks passed, and Damian Jones had found the inner strength to avoid eating donuts, candy or anything else that would raise his sugar levels as high as his 7-foot frame.
Earlier this week, though, the Warriors’ center strolled through a grocery store and almost disrupted his progress. He saw candy and cookies at the checkout line. He almost grabbed them.
“I walked down the lane and was looking. I was there for a while,” Jones recalled in an interview with Bay Area News Group. “I was tempted. But I walked on by.”
Jones bragged about the “willpower” he had to avoid purchasing those impulse items that normally satisfy his taste buds.
