“I was learning to cook so it comes in handy too.”
This was the joke the Raptors’ Kyle Lowry made this afternoon prior to Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, with his Toronto squad set to take on the Bucks in Milwaukee tonight. Unfortunately the “cook” he’s referring to here has no relation to the commonly used basketball idiom. Lowry has not been just recently learning how to “cook” other players on the court — after 13 seasons in the NBA he knows how to do that already — it’s actually simpler than that.
