Top 5 NBA players who follow a vegan diet

#3 DeAndre Jordan

The latest NBA reports suggest that DeAndre Jordan might join the LA Lakers in the upcoming season. The 6'11" center played for the Brooklyn Nets in the 2020-21 season alongside the likes of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. His move to the Lakers could provide the Los Angeles team with a great defensive asset.

The former Clippers player is a very vocal proponent of the vegan diet. He began the veganism journey in 2018. Jordan stars as a host in a vegan cooking show called Cooking Clean. He had the following to say about the show and veganism:

Cooking Clean is one part of that journey, since what you put in your body affects your overall well-being. My hope is that Cooking Clean provides helpful insight into the life-changing benefits of plant-based foods and inspires audiences to embrace a more sustainable diet. It’s been a dream of mine to share my passion for food while having some fun in the kitchen.

#2 Chris Paul

Chris Paul is a truly gifted player. He has established himself as one of the most exceptional playmakers and mid-range scorers in the league. Paul began his NBA career in 2005. The New Orleans Hornets picked the future star as the fourth overall pick.

CP3 played in his first NBA Finals in the 2020-21 season. Although the Milwaukee Bucks overwhelmed the Paul-led Suns, his performance was still commendable.

Point God turned to veganism in 2019 and has not gone back since. The NBA superstar is also highly interested in vegan brands and reportedly raised $3 million with Jay-Z for Misha's Kind Foods, a vegan food brand.

#1 Kyrie Irving

Kyrie Irving is a beauty to watch. The way he glides on the court, breaking ankles and confidence in his wake, is a work of art. His ball handling is unrivaled in the NBA. His finishing moves are unstoppable. His shooting is absolutely lethal.

A scoring machine, the 6'2" point guard now plays alongside James Harden and Durant for the Brooklyn Nets. Uncle Drew is also the most recent entrant into the prestigious 50-40-90 club.
