    This is absolutely incredible to see. For the most part, I think we understand that the athletes get fed. But this gives us a thorough glimpse of what it takes to feed, fuel, snacks, individual nutrition, and goals of the players. It also helps me understand even more, how much money these NBA teams bring in. It is almost unfortunate that the common Joe Schmo, will never get to experience something like this.
