I know this isn’t his nickname, but I hear em say Little Richard every time. Anyway, if Will Richard was a fruit, he’d be rambutan. You’re like, “well that’s new…” and then you try it and are like, “I’ll take twenty, please.” Shows up flashy, impresses everyone, holds it own. #nbaasfruit #nbasky

Welcome to a new season of #nbaasfruit. What fruit will YOUR favorite #nba player be compared to this season? Stick around to find out.

If Karl-Anthony Towns was a fruit, he’d currently be the singular half maraschino cherry in a can of fruit cocktail. Like, you save it for last… but mostly you’re digging around wondering where tf is it and why is it playing so small when it SHOULD be big, bold, and beautiful? #nbaasfruit #nbasky

If Caruso was fruit, he’d be kiwi. On the outside you’re like, whatchu doin at the fruit salad, kiwi? Then it shows its insides & you’re like OH I SEE YOU ARE FLASHY AF. Even if you’re allergic to kiwi, you respect kiwi, you’re impressed by kiwi, you wish kiwi was at your picnic. #nbasky #nbaasfruit

If this lady in the crowd (the one who is full-chest screaming straight into the announcer mics) was a fruit, she’d be durian. Some people will absolutely think she’s misunderstood greatness. And good for them. But to the rest of us… distracting and kinda stinks. Sorry, lady. 🫣 #nbaasfruit #nbasky

If Jalen Brunson was fruit, he’d be pears. Pears don’t get the respect they deserve. Pears don’t always initially excite. Maybe a lil grainy, a lil quiet. But pears hold down the fort in ANY fruit salad. They uplift EVERYTHING around em. Underrated juice. The fanciest fruit gift. #nbasky #nbaasfruit

If Aaron Gordon was a fruit, he’d be mango. Youthful, shockingly bright, and bringing the juice in any situation. A strong core surrounded by a good time. And when he’s on, he’s REALLY on!! #feelbettergordon #nbaasfruit #nbasky

If Draymond was a fruit, he’d be lemons. Thick skin, sometimes a little too much, but an utterly necessary acidity for many dishes. Versatile, present, and undeniable, a good education & shockingly classy in a meringue, tho will absolutely kick you in the mouth and not be sorry. #nbaasfruit #nbasky

If Kuminga was a fruit, he’d currently be an avocado. Rock solid talent inside. Sometimes he’s hard and inedible, sometimes he’s mushy beyond recognition… but sometimes… he walks onto the court and is the best thing you’ve ever consumed in your LIFE. 🙌 #prayingforconsistency #nbasky #nbaasfruit

If Podz was a fruit, he’d be bananas. Good from fresh and green and splashing 3s, to bruised up and ready for banana bread, hitting foul after foul. He takes charge and takes charges. And he’s nice— he makes you smile, and you’re glad he’s there. :) #nbaasfruit #youthoughtIwasdone #nbasky

If Boban Marjanović was a fruit, he’d be watermelon. Not just because he’s physically huge, but also because he has a big heart, is super sweet, a good time, and beloved by all. He’s a smile personified. The picnic just isn’t the same without him. #bringbackbobi #wwbd #nbaasfruit

If Steph Curry was a fruit, he’d be apples. Honeycrisp to Granny Smith to Macintosh. Capable of expensive charcuterie board class, as well as everyman packed lunch earthiness. All-American nice guy, not causing problems, but ubiquitous af. Everywhere you look, there he is. Bam! Gravity. #nbaasfruit

If Jimmy Butler was a fruit, he’d be a lime. Consistent & versatile. Sign of a fun time, ready to party, but also complex, able to elevate what’s around him. You might forget to buy one, but you NOTICE if it’s not there & you drive all the way back to the store to get it. #nbaasfruit #nbaplayoffs
