[Popper] Josh Hart: “I drink a lot of caffeine before the game, I can say that. 3-400 milligrams of caffeine. Mike and Ikes. And then I’m like let’s get ready to run around. The nutritionist, Erica— we have fights.”
As Josh Hart piled up minutes and production, asked him if other players are thinking of adopting his habit of Mike & Ike's as fuel — driving the team nutritionist crazy… pic.twitter.com/IrL2vkPM4Q

He’s just like me
Mike and Ikes best candy by far
That kind of explains his hyper activity on the glass
I take Aspirin before the game. It’s crazy.
Didn’t he just post a sponsorship with them on Twitter?
I do the same before making a parlay on FanDuel^^TM , Official Sports Betting Partner of the NBA
Tobias Harris: ” I take 5 pills of Melatonin and 3 cups of Camomille and Valerian tea before the game, I can say that”
How does bro not shit his pants.
Wait until he finds out about that Panera heart attack lemonade.
All I can picture is Erica walking away from every conversation with Hart while pulling her hair out and muttering something about being surrounded by idiots.
I do the same thing but I also add a bag of chips and soda. And I don’t run around. Virtually identical.
ADHD role model
dammit Erica
I did this before a game one time and thought my heart would explode
If it works for him I’m all for it
Memes aside, this can’t be healthy and hopefully he’s overestimating his caffeine consumption
Bro probably goes to sleep at 5 in the morning on game nights
josh hart gotta be the campaign spokesman to bring back original strength four loko
Caffeine is probably the best performance enhancing drug that is completely legal
Josh Shart.
this is an incredible pregame routine and actually not at all surprising that it’s about josh hart. dude is out here banging 5 red bulls and a mike and ikes to get going
lol i read caffeine and Mike and Ikes and then see in brackets [Popper] Josh Hart.
76ers just got the recipe for Josh’s secret stuff. I fully expect each and every Sixer to all have 15+ rebounds tonight.
this is how you die. let’s hope josh doesn’t have any undiagnosed heart issues.
This knicka out here giving away secrets during the playoffs smh
Thibs gonna burst a vessel
It’s incredible that the guy posting this tweet is “Popper”.
This isn’t that crazy.
Hart is listed at 215 lbs, or ~98 kg.
Studies have shown that caffeine can improve sports performance at 3-6 mg/kg.
At 98 kg, that’s 294-588mg.

Carb loading also isn’t uncommon for sports that involve a lot of cardio.
Josh’s heart 🥵😤
Mf is coked up grabbing those rebounds
I’ve been known to drink a cup of coffee before hooping. 400 milligrams is pretty crazy though.
Wait until you find out about the “Players Only” coffee pot in MLB dugouts.
Everyone commenting “this is how you die” has clearly never lifted. Almost every preworkout is at least 200mg of caffeine, and the ones that most experienced lifters use are 3-400mgs of caffeine. As long as he’s not also pounding other forms of caffeine throughout the day he’s not even remotely in the realm of any sort of danger.
I was w him up until the Mike and Ike’s…
Has Erica lost the locker room?
my heart is palpitating reading this
Missed this dude. One of my favorite non current Pels. Dudes a baller, hustle player and funny
I once made the huge mistake of bchugging a Redline before a lacrosse game. Huge mistake. Spent most of the game laying in the grass on the sidelines from extreme nausea.
Hart’s heart is gonna burst
I wonder what the nutritionist would say if he ate a whole can of BEANS before each game,
Those caffeine shits must be explosive
The Darrell Armstrong is strong with this one.
I noticed when I play caffinated, I have so much energy that I don’t have to think about going towards a lose ball, I just automatically do it. But when it comes to making in game decisions, I get worse because my mind gets too hyper. so it sort of breaks even for me
This is actually the best pre workout. Caffeine and fast acting carbs. If you notice crazy athletes love their candy. *ahem* DK METCALF.
Dude is always talkin about Mike and Ikes
Glad to see he’s moved on from Toradol.
