The Golden State Warriors make second-year rookie James Michael McAdoo pick up the breakfast tab at McDonald’s, only needing $112 and change to cover it.
The Golden State Warriors needed former North Carolina Tar Heel standout James Michael McAdoo to step up for the team in a big way —
by picking up the $112.13 tab at McDonald’s Tuesday morning. McAdoo is apparently still the low man on the totem pole in Golden State, as he was on breakfast duty for the entire Warriors’ team.

There are three shocking elements to this tab at the Shoreline Drive location in Alameda, California:
1. NBA players apparently eat McDonald’s. Given that these are professional athletes, wouldn’t granola, yogurt and fruit suffice for breakfast? No, it’s travel, so McDonald’s it is.
2. Isn’t breakfast duty suppose to fall on the least seasoned player on the team? McAdoo is a second-year player out of North Carolina. Wouldn’t this fall on rookie Kevon Looney, the first-year pro out of UCLA? Or did Looney mess this up badly at one point, so this is now a McAddo-only sort of job?
3. It only cost $112.13 to feed the entire 2015-16 Golden State Warriors team at McDonald’s. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, also the cheapest at McDonald’s. Only six sausage burritos for 15 players? Come on! They’re like McNuggets and French Fries, you can’t have just one.
Tuesday was a travel day for the Warriors, as the took a near cross-country flight to play the Memphis Grizzlies at the FedEx Forum on Wednesday night. The Golden State Warriors are the only undefeated team left in the NBA (8-0). They will take on a Grizzlies team that is 3-5 and just made a trade with the Miami Heat to get Mario Chalmers and James Ennis for Beno Udrih and Jarnell Stokes.
What came in all of this is that the Golden State Warriors can feed at the Golden Arches for a little over a hundred bucks. Which brings to question: what team in the NBA would run the highest tab at McDonald’s? Now that Charlotte Hornets center Al Jefferson doesn’t eat chicken anymore, it remains undecided.
