More from The Q&A: Desmond Mason
When I went to talk to Desmond Mason for my Q&A before a game the other night, he was toting a Starbucks cup.
Had to ask.
Here’s more from my chat with the Thunder forward:
Jenni Carlson: So, what’s in the Starbuck’s cup? Do you do coffee, or are you fancy pants?
Desmond Mason: I’m fancy. I go with the seasons, so I’ll probably be drinking a gingerbread latte into January or February. Ginger snap, since they changed the name on it.
JC: And you’ve got to order it by their name.
DM: I have to go in and say ginger snap. It’s like Morton’s Steakhouse. They used to have the Godiva Chocolate Cake. They had problems with Godiva, so now it’s just the chocolate cake. I say Godiva, and they say, “It’s not named that anymore.”
JC: I do coffee with a little cream and Sweet N Low.
DM: I like that. I gotta have something sweet. Halloween is Pumpkin Spice.
JC: I go peppermint.
DM: Peppermint Mocha is good. And besides that, I’m four pumps, light whip, one shot single, extra hot.
JC: You have got the lingo. You have to.
DM: They know me now, so, it’s done.
JC: So, every morning they know.
DM: I want it 185 degrees exactly … no, I’m just playing. (Laughs.) But I’ve seen people walk in and say they want their latte at 175 degrees. I’m thinking, “What if it’s 180? Can you tell the difference?”
