Minnesota Timberwolves Anthony Edwards used to love his Popeye’s chicken. It was his trademark, whenever he played well, he would treat himself to a bag of Popeye’s chicken and fries. In fact, he showed up at post-game press conferences on more than one occasion with a sack of fast food feasts:

It was enough to break the tension in the room. Whether the TImberwolves had played well or not, a reference by the young Edwards was certain to generate some chortles in the room.
