During a Q&A session at a recent season ticket holder’s event, Ersan Ilyasova was asked how he likes his steak.
“Well done,” Ilyasova responded.
Questionable steak preferences aside, the response was hardly shocking for a player, whose playing style is as tough as a two-dollar steak.
The NBA’s indisputable charge-taking king, Ilyasova has planted his feet and taken shots from opposition players at an unprecedented rate in 2018-19.
Despite missing 15 games through the regular season, the 11-year NBA veteran obliterated the competition in charges taken, taking a league-leading record 50 charges on the season, with Blake Griffin in second with just 31.
