An angry KG and a postgame meal.
It's all part of @paulpierce34's weirdest locker room story. #TPTStudioB pic.twitter.com/7tzG0GELf6

In the above video by the Players’ Tribune, numerous professional athletes — Antonio Brown, Richard Sherman, Paul Pierce, Stephen Curry, J.J. Watt, and Danica Patrick — ask questions to, and answer questions from one another.
Former Boston Celtics star and current Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul Pierce received the question “What’s your weirdest locker room story?” from Richard Sherman. Here’s Pierce’s response, transcribed by William Lou of The Score:
“It’s time to eat once the game is over. We shower then we have like a buffet. I remember we jumped out of the shower, guys got dressed and it was time to eat, and there was like some people who weren’t on the team in there, some doctors who we hardly ever see,” Pierce recalled.
“We see them making a plate with the players’ food, and I just remember going over there, and Kevin Garnett was over there and kinda knocked the plate out of his hand, and said, ‘This is the players’ food.’
“I don’t think I ever saw that doctor again,” Pierce said with a chuckle.
This a great story, because it’s just such a Kevin Garnett thing to do. Garnett is one of the best basketball players that we’ve ever seen, and he’s intense to a fault. That’s what makes him KG, though, and fans love him for it.
