The NBA has a legitimate cereal problem on its hands.
One of the most bizarre Twitter wars you’ll ever see broke out Thursday, as a slew of NBA teams exchanged Photoshopped images of cereal boxes redesigned to incorporate popular players. It all started with the Cleveland Cavaliers and second-year guard Kay Felder.
(Warning: If puns aren’t your thing, you might want to look away.)
Anyone enjoying their #NBACereals this morning? We started the day with a bowl of Special Kay 🤘🏾 pic.twitter.com/DkVMVlDX2O

What on Earth just happened?
It’s tough to decide who came out on top here, but here’s our unofficial top three:
1. Boston Celtics – “Havli-Chex”
2. Chicago Bulls – “Honey Nut Felicios”
3. Orlando Magic – “Cap’n Dunks”
The only certain thing in all this milky mess is that the Denver Nuggets are the unquestioned losers. How do you not even bring an actual cereal box to #NBACereals? Pure laziness.
