I always wonder what guys are actually drinking on the bench during timeouts and before they go in to play. Well, Sheed drinks COKE CLASSIC during the games.

I about fell off my chair when I saw this. I have seen this numerous times and everytime he will turn to the water boy behind the bench and ask for "coke" and he will sip it while sitting on the bench.

I played Basketball, Football, Baseball and Track during HS and some college and I could not even imagine EVER drinking coke even during practice. I think it would kill me, lol.

What do you guys think of that?

I have also seen Redbull brought out for some players however I have not seen what player actually takes it...

i think its Rip who drinks the red bull. I remember reading that a while back

That can not be good for you.

I played soccer for 22 years, and drinking any kind of soda was a big no-no. They last thing you want is to have a ton of energy and then have a huge sugar drop in the middle of a game, and it totally dehydrates you too. It might work for Rasheed though, everyone is different.

I would cramp up so fast if I did that.

To me, that seems like suicide. In my high school sports days it was always water and gatorade for me. Gatorade before and after and water during. I never cramped up or got tired unless I was out of shape. Which happened frequently during baseball season.

*quietly removes Coke from the team's beverage cart.....*

That's maybe why Sheed hangs out around the three point line, he's all bloated and can't run too much. They should at least kill the carbination for him...

I dunno.. I used to eat Pizza Hut before track meets. I think people have weird superstitutions and they just don't dump them. That said, I think coke would kill me...

I play Basketball, and the first thing I drink is Water. Gatorade is great, but if I drink water I feel like I can run around and play for hours.

I remember hearing Greg Anthony used to drink coffee on the bench. He's a java freak they say.

the entire bench should be forced to drink red bull before they go in to the game.


i'd be surprised if rasheed actually drinks enough coke to get bloated though. those little mouthwash cups they have aren't going to kill your stomach like that, it's not like he's on the bench pounding a 2 liter or something.

I have never seen him actually have more than one cup and the cups are usually half full if that... but still its a fucking NBA game and he is sippin on Coke. No doubt he has played HIGH before lol

It's only a natural progression... he smoked dope with the Blazers and he's now moved on to coke.

Not surprised at all.

Everyones different but that shit dehydrates you like a mofo. Water and gatorade is the best

I used to play the entire game and this is how it went:

Before the tip I'd have a smoke.

During the quarter break I'd have a smoke and some (mouthful) coke.

At half time another smoke as soon as we left the floor, finish the coke and then have another smoke before starting the second half.

During the third quarter break I'd have another smoke and start to drink Gatorade

After the game another smoke and finish the Gatorade.

For those that know my history as a player you know it didn't effect me at all.

That said I wouldn't advise it.

When did you usually find time for the pizza?

Also, thank you for taking Darko under your wing.

WTF?

Pizza?

Can't eat and play - that will kill you

BRB smoke.

you guys are nuts. I always had a gatorade. Even if you think it doesn't affect you, you're wrong. People might not notice the smoking affecting you, but it does. You get vaso-constriction from smoking and your blood vessels shrink. This results in less blood/food getting to your muscles. You may not get winded, but your muscles and legs will wear down faster. You'll probably get muscle pulls, cramps, etc. Ubviously those who smoke more are probably less affected by it (due to a tolerance type thing), but it still happens. A smoker probably wouldn't notice it unless they didn't smoke before (you would be used to the effects). Much like tasting food when you quit smoking, you probably wouldn't notice the difference until you quit for a while.

Don't get me wrong, you are probably used to it enough that you overcome the lack of fuel. I doubt anyone would notice but you (if you stopped).

I always drink gatorade too Chris. I can't smoke during games. That's nuts.

I smoke before and after though. It's fucked.

I try to drink Gatorade before games to get fired up.
I usually drink a Gatorade and then a water after games.

I drink Gatorade after sex.

That is all.

That is all.
i drink red bull/monster mixed with gin before.

I once puked half a two litre of rootbeer during a game. Shit gets foamy and has to go. Dr. Pepper also a bad choice.

LOL

I hand out gallons of vodka before.
