Mike Scott Stole A Sip Of A Bucks Fan’s Drink After Diving Into The Crowd

If there’s one thing we know about the average NBA game it’s that the players are going to run a lot. It can be exhausting and, for some players, very thirst inducing. On Sunday, when the 76ers were taking on the Bucks, one brave hero did what was needed to quench his thirst mid-game.

Scott chased a loose ball that forced him to dive into the crowd, crashing into a lady in the second row. This is part of the up close fan experience.

What fans aren’t quite as used to is having those same players take drinks out of their hand, but Scott found himself thirsty and within eyesight of a Bucks fan’s drink. So he did the sensible thing and stole a sip before running back out to the court.

So what exactly did Scott steal a sip of here? Odds are it was someone’s beer which sounds like it would be very difficult to keep running with that in his system, but here’s a counterpoint. Beer is nothing but water and carbs. Carbohydrates are energy meant to be burned. Water is an essential part of rehydrating. Scott was making a business decision here to replenish himself so he could go back out and play even greater and chase loose balls even further.

Other drink possibilities are soda or ginger ale, but those options aren’t nearly as fun. Let’s all hope that it was beer because then Scott is living the true dream. We’ve all wanted to sneak a sip of a beverage on the job, and Scott was just brave enough to try it. Shouts to you Mike Scott for this moment that belongs in the player-fan interaction Hall of Fame.

UPDATE: Scott gave us an update on the beverage of choice for this lady that he snuck a sip from.
