Charles Oakley on the old days in the NBA: ‘We would have McDonald’s for breakfast and Burger King for lunch or dinner’

Oakley: The players these days know more about nutrition and do more core workouts with bands. We did more with weights. We ate everything. We ate fast food. For many years, we would have McDonald’s for breakfast and Burger King for lunch or dinner. In our era, we would just have to get things in our stomachs and live with that. Some people can play after eating a steak before the game. Some people say to eat pasta or chicken. But to each their own.
