Doug Collins Called Michael Jordan the King of Junk Food Eaters. Chicken McNuggets. Coke. Big Mac on the Bus to the Game. Charles Oakley Said He Ate McDonald's Every Single Morning for Breakfast. Every Morning.
Every athlete today has a nutritionist. A meal plan. A chef. A supplement protocol.
Michael Jordan had McDonald's.
His coach Doug Collins said it without hesitation when someone asked about Jordan's off-season conditioning program.
"He has none. He'll practice for a week, and he'll be ready."
Then Collins gave him a title.
"Michael's the king of junk-food eaters. The guy is Chicken McNuggets and Coke, Big Mac on the bus to the game."
Charles Oakley confirmed it from the inside.
"We ate a lot of McDonald's back then. MJ ate McDonald's every morning for breakfast. Every morning. And before games, he'd eat a steak."
Every morning. Then a steak before games. Then six championships.
Jordan himself described what his actual routine looked like when he was on his best behavior.
"I used to start off with a great breakfast, pancakes, cereal, something of that nature, go to practice, and then workout after practice, gonna have a great meal after practice, and then finish up on a great meal in the evening. On game days, I used to eat my favorite meal, which is four hours before game time, steak and potato, and I felt like that gave me the energy that I needed to go out and play a good, hard basketball game, and have a great recovery time after that."
He didn't mention McDonald's once in that description.
Six championships. Six Finals MVPs. Five regular-season MVPs. The greatest basketball player who ever lived ate Chicken McNuggets and rode the bus to games with a Big Mac.
The modern athlete tracks every macro and hires a private chef.
Jordan grabbed a value meal and averaged 30 points a night for fifteen years.
