Sam Dekker Rumors

This was my chance, after all, to sit down with the Serbian mystery man who was widely regarded as the best basketball player on the planet not in the N.B.A. and find out what finally nudged him to jump to the world’s best league at the age of 30. It was also my ticket to see firsthand whether Teodosic, as his new Clippers teammate Sam Dekker claimed in a September tweet, really starts his day with cheeseburgers. We regret to report, for starters, that Teodosic does not eat cheeseburgers for breakfast. “Too heavy,” the 6-foot-5 guard said.

“I can’t eat right away when I wake up,” Teodosic said as he forced himself to bite into his custom meal while we chatted at the team’s practice facility. “I can eat 10 times in a day, but small, small, small.”
