To make amends for one of the most unexpected internet moments of the last decade, Taco Bell is calling on three-time MVP and Denver Nuggets center, Nikola Jokić – whose 2014 draft announcement famously aired during a Quesarito commercial – to finally try Taco Bell and the Quesarito for the very first time.

WNBA star Paige Bueckers is stepping into entrepreneurship alongside NBA superstar Chris Paul. The two are teaming up to launch a bold new snack flavor called Ragerz under Paul’s Good Eat’n brand, and it comes with a mission that goes beyond taste.

For Bueckers, 21, the opportunity was impossible to pass up. Not only is this the first time a WNBA player has taken an equity stake in a brand owned by an NBA player, it also aligns with her passion for making an impact. “My agent came to me with the idea, and first I’m like, it’s Chris Paul. I’ve looked up to him since I was young… So obviously that opportunity was exciting — to work with Chris, learn from Chris," she tells PEOPLE.

Foodies who miss the former Middletown eatery “grown” may once again be able to taste its culinary creations here in Connecticut. In May, the organic fast food restaurant announced its launch of a nationwide franchising program. It currently has just one location, in Miami. The eatery is the creation of Shannon Allen and her husband, Ray Allen, an NBA champion and Hall of Fame athlete.
The inspiration for the couple’s business came after their son Walker was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes as a toddler. The family was often on the road while Ray was playing in the NBA, and they were juggling life with five children. Finding quick and healthy meals for Walker and the rest of the family proved challenging, and Shannon realized there were no fast, affordable options for organic and nutritious food.
