Kelly Olynyk is always ready to try new food.
Even after shedding 16 pounds last year in his first season with the Miami Heat, food remains near the top of Olynyk’s list of off-court interests. Ask the 7-footer about a specific dish, and he will come back with an answer so detailed that you’ll believe you just ate it.
“Probably the most interesting food I ate this summer was when I went to India and I had to eat a bunch of real traditional Indian food,” said Olynyk, who spent part of his offseason in India to serve as a coach for the NBA’s Basketball Without Borders program.
