As players and team personnel made their way to Walt Disney World in Florida, everyone in the basketball world got a small taste for what life inside the NBA bubble was like.
Thanks to Nuggets wing Troy Daniels posting a picture of his underwhelming dinner spread provided to him by The Grand Destino Tower, NBA Twitter got their chance to produce one of its patented meme storms. And boy did they not disappoint.
First, the picture that started it all:

And here come the memes:

According to ESPN's Malika Andrews on The Hoop Collective podcast, residents within the bubble have numerous food options left at their door three times a day (8 a.m., 12 p.m. and 6 p.m.). Instead of asking each person what they would like, the staff just gives them every option to avoid contaminating their food.
"Efficient? No," Andrews said. "Wasteful? Possibly. Sanitary? Yes."

Given the already questionable living conditions in the WNBA bubble, making light of the situation seemed to be the theme of the night.

Fans can rest easy knowing that there were options involving meat and protein for players. Nets guard Chris Chiozza posted a picture with far more food groups in his meal than Daniels did.

Now, to be fair. For those who have gone to Disney World before, who has gone because of the cuisine? Obviously few of us have stayed there for a three-month span like some of these players will have to, so hopefully they'll find a safe way to get their hands on some better food.
As far as memes go though, Tuesday night was a good one for NBA fans.
