Philadelphia 76ers point guard Markelle Fultz spent much of his first NBA media day talking about Chick-fil-A.

In a video posted by The Players Tribune on Thursday, Fultz talked about his love for Chick-fil-A with teammates and media and eventually found some of the fast-food franchise’s nuggets and dipping sauces to enjoy.

Fultz was the first overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft out Washington.

An overview of Fultz’s  media day can be watched below:
