NBA Thanksgiving: What's Your Favorite?

Because I'm currently recovering from hoovering a solid 12 courses--and somehow, still looking forward to leftovers--let's run with the Thanksgiving theme on this one. We could do one of those "things to be thankful for" gimmicks, but that'd be tough. There are a million things to be grateful for in the NBA, and like I said, the tryptophan has me operating at 40% right now. Maybe next year I'll write this BEFORE dinner.

With that said, here's each Thanksgiving food group, and without explanation, the first NBA player that comes to mind.

Turkey: Tim Duncan.

Cranberry Sauce: Pau Gasol

Stuffing: Eddy Curry (in a good way)

Green Beans: David Kahn

Mashed Potatoes: Paul Pierce

Sweet Potatoes: Kevin Martin

Gravy: Big Baby Davis

White Wine: Greg Popovich

Christmas Ale: Scott Skiles

Pumpkin Pie: Dwight Howard

Pecan Pie: Brandon Jennings

Family Dynamics: The New York Knicks

The Meal, In General: '95-'96 Bulls. Perfect.

Those are just my initial associations. There are a million different ways you could go with it, really, so please share your own ideas in the comments. But more importantly, it's Christmas time, yo! Until next week...
