Minnesota Timberwolves · G
Atlanta's Oakland City kid who lost his mother and grandmother to cancer months apart as a teenager, went No. 1 to Minnesota out of Georgia in 2020 and grew into the Wolves' franchise star and a 2024 Olympic gold medalist. His food story runs from weekly family suppers at Golden Corral to a rookie-year Popeyes habit, McChickens ordered mid-press conference in Detroit, and a Chipotle campaign that made him the first NBA player in the chain's national ads. His favorite Minneapolis restaurant, Fhima's, closed in March 2026 with a comeback promised.
