Why it’s never Bo Time for NC State’s Markell Johnson

Former N.C. State guard Dennis Smith Jr. happily fed his Dallas Mavericks teammates food from Charlotte-based Bojangles’ when the NBA team visited his home state to play the Hornets last month.

Smith’s former teammate, current N.C. State guard Markell Johnson, would prefer another fast-food chicken choice.

Johnson drew social media attention Thursday night when he tweeted that he prefers Popeyes to Bojangles’, saying the Georgia-based chain’s Louisiana-inspired cuisine is “way better.”

Popeyes Way Better Then Bojangles
