Gatorade occupies 85% market share in American sports beverage industry, and Gatorade's slogan is "quenching thirst". Gatorade has been committed to sports drinks for more than 50 years, so Gatorade has done an excellent job in how to supplement physical fitness and solve the problem of thirst at the same time. Gatorade is now the only designated drink in NBA and NFL. Because the beverage sponsor of NBA is Gatorade, no matter what drinks NBA players usually like to drink, you have to drink Gatorade on the court. If they really don't like Gatorade, the players can only pour their favorite drinks into Gatorade's cups during the break and take out Gatorade's cups to drink other brands of drinks.
Many people will ask, do NBA players drink Gatorade the same as we usually drink? The answer is yes. Gatorade doesn't make drinks for NBA players, and it's the same. So we can usually drink the same drinks as NBA players.

2. Your favorite drink
Most NBA players have good professionalism, and they drink whatever the league tells them to drink. However, every player's physique is different. When a large amount of water is lost in the body, if the players are asked to drink the same drink in general, it is likely to cause some players' physical discomfort.
James's leg cramp in the first game of the 14 finals triggered a discussion among netizens about the drinks James was drinking at that time. Kobe also expressed his views on this issue. He believes that athletes should have the right to choose what kind of drinks they drink, and they will choose the drinks that are most beneficial to their health, instead of being forced to drink Gatorade, the sponsor of the league. Doing so is likely to lead to cramps, which are too dangerous for athletes.
So some players will drink their favorite drinks before or during the game. "Gentleman Ray" ray allen once said in an interview that when he was a rookie, a teammate of Bucks always liked to drink a strange mixed drink before the game. Ray allen said that this is the weirdest drink he has ever seen, because this mixed drink is a mixture of coffee and Coca-Cola. Ray allen joked: I will never finish that drink like him, because it smells pungent.
3. Your own endorsement drink
Attentive fans may find that whenever James takes a break to drink water outside the stadium, the bottles of the drinks James drinks are not labeled, because Gatorade is the official sponsor of NBA, and James is the spokesman of other sports drinks. In order to protect the rights and interests of his endorsement brand and NBA league, James will tear off the label on the bottle, even if he drinks Gatorade.
In dealing with drinks, the most interesting NBA player is Tang Shen, a good socialist citizen. Thompson has always been called the most conscientious spokesman. Because he is the spokesman of Anta, Tang Shen wears Anta to many occasions.

Thompson, like James, is not a spokesman for Gatorade. Thompson endorsed a sports drink called BODYARMOR. We can often see a bottle of Gatorade at the press conference after an NBA game. Thompson, on the other hand, always knocks Gatorade on the stage before going to interview for a seat. As the "most conscientious spokesman", Tang Shen will not let himself and a brand that does not speak for himself appear in the same picture.

Not only that, Thompson, who was interviewed in the locker room after the Warriors' game against the Raptors last season, picked up a bottle of beer and drank it for the camera.
