Nerlens Noel’s master plan has a hitch.
In order to carry Hood golden eggnog back with him from Charlotte on the Thunder’s next road trip, the Oklahoma City center would have to bring it through Toronto.
“It’s crazy because they don’t have the right type of eggnog out here,” Noel said. “I’ve been looking for it for years.”
Noel’s last name must give him some authority on the subject of Christmas beverages, right? The name makes him an NBA social media manager’s dream around the holidays. People sing “The First Noel” at him in December. This year, thanks to Noel’s girlfriend, his home is covered with decorations bearing his name, from the ornaments on the tree to the throw pillows on the couch.
