If you really think about it, the biggest stars in the NBA relate perfectly to cereal brands. Let me know what you think of my list.

Anthony Davis: Kashi

kashi

New cereal on the market that has been getting a lot of praise and most people think could be the next big thing in the cereal aisle.

Chris Paul: Rice Krispies

rice-krispies

A great all around cereal, but needs a good compliment to be fully enjoyed. Because of that, it has never been considered one of the elites.

James Harden: Lucky Charms

lucky-charms

Big name cereal but at the end of the day, it’s all fluff and has no substance.

Carmelo Anthony: Cookie Crisp

Sounds good in theory, but in reality, can never be a go-to cereal.

Kobe Bryant: Reese’s Puffs

reese-puffs

Probably the most polarizing cereal in the game. People either love it or hate it, no in between.

Kevin Durant: Trix

trix

When you are a little kid you love it, but as you mature and are exposed to other cereals, you realize its overrated and kind of one note.

Steph Curry: Honey Bunches of Oats

bunches-of-oats-good

Relatively new to the cereal game, but has a huge following and has become an industry game changer.

Tim Duncan: Cheerios

cheerios

A classic that has been around forever. Never been the flashiest cereal, but you can count on it to deliver.

Dwight Howard: Cap’n Crunch

Has all the traits needed to be a perfect cereal, but sometimes causes more pain than pleasure.

LeBron James: Froot Loops

froot-loops-usa

Flashy cereal that is extremely popular and widely considered one of the bests even though it will never be able to stack up to Cinnamon Toast Crunch’s widespread praise.

Russell Westbrook: Apple Jacks

Has it’s days where you absolutely can’t imagine life without it, but sometimes disappears in the background and gets lost to Froot Loops.

Michael Jordan: Cinnamon Toast Crunch

The goat of all cereals. Everyone loves cinnamon toast crunch and if you were on cereal death row, you would take CTC every time.

Charles Barkley: Golden Grahams

golden-grahams

Never really gets the respect it deserves, but if you take time to analyze, it’s one of the best.
