Butler told to stop chewing straws
The NBA has told Dallas Mavericks guard Caron Butler that he needs to stop chewing straws during games.
Butler has had a habit of sitting on the bench and chewing on straws to help calm his nerves during games.
The guard said he first started doing it in high school and would sometimes go through 12 straws in a game.
Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said that the league is serious about the request because it is against the rules.
This seems to me to be one of the craziest things I’ve ever heard. Are they going to outlaw gum next?
