Hakeem Olajuwon holds the NBA record for blocked shots and is one of only a few players to record a quadruple-double, but what people may not know is that the Hall of Fame center was also an accomplished eater.
Early on in his career, Olajuwon was filming a commercial for McDonald's that required him to slam dunk Chicken McNuggets into his mouth. Olajuwon ate every single McNugget during the five-hour-long shoot, prompting one concerned producer to to ask if he wanted to use a non-edible replacement instead.
Olajuwon declined.
