Hot on the heels of Thanksgiving, Boston Celtics veterans Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce spoke about their culinary prowess. While the Big Ticket added that he is not a kitchen maestro, he spoke highly of his former teammate’s skills. Well, Pierce isn’t the only experienced chef in the league, though. Numerous other NBA stars have exhibited their cooking skills during Thanksgiving over the years, which are equally impressive.

Did you know that Los Angeles Lakers legend Shaquille O’Neal is also on this list? Let’s find out about the other NBA pros who bring the heat both on the court and in the kitchen.

Kevin Garnett revealed the greatness of seasoned cook Paul Pierce 

During their conversation on the latest episode of KG Certified, the ex-Minnesota Timberwolves player shared that while he knew how to cook, he was not very enthusiastic about trying out new dishes. However, his former teammate has great skills when it comes to cooking. 

Garnett noted, “I’ll be honest, yeah Paul is a cooker. Paul cooks. I am not a foodie. Like if you go “You have to taste this sauce, man”, I am going to look at you like “Man, it’s sauce, relax’’ Well, it’s only during the holidays and unseen circumstances such as COVID-19 that we get to see the star players’ other lesser-known talents.

The Truth not only enjoys cooking but also has a strong passion for eating. Garnett also highlighted the legend’s impressive culinary skills. Who is your favorite among those mentioned above? Let us know in the comments below.
