Top 5 Vegan NBA Players

#2 Damian Lillard

Lillard was among the latest few players to go vegan

Damian Lillard is one of the best young talent in the NBA right now and he has adopted the vegan diet after feeling pain in his joints that go through so much grind on a daily basis. Since adopting the vegan diet, Lillard has felt a noticeable difference in the way his body reacts to the daily grit and grind.

In an interview with OregonLiveSports, Lillard said "I’ve been wanting to eat cleaner. Also I was trying to play lighter this year, be easier on my joints and on my feet. Getting older and you don’t want to let that age sneak up on you where you just get in the habit of eating whatever you want to eat because I know I’m gonna burn it off when it’s time to play. So just creating better habits."

"I feel much better. I thought it was all hype. I thought people just said it just because it was a healthier food but I can feel it. I can definitely feel it.”
