Mods – not sure if this is allowed here. I just like stories like this and he always struck me as a class-act.
Former Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam certainly made sure the visitors to one fast food spot would never forget their meal.
On a recent trip to Grenada, Siakam decided he was in the mood for the local Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant, and chose to pay for everyone else's meal in line as well.
"We don't want attention," Siakam said, perhaps somewhat ironically, in a clip he uploaded to his social media channels. "They're saying the Caribbean KFC is different, so I'm trying to see what it's about."
"I just wanted some chicken," Siakam said. "I haven't had KFC in a long time… probably since college."
"This is the first time in history that anyone has ever purchased meals for everyone in the building," a worker in the video shared. "Our menu is sort of different to the other markets, which is unique."
Siakam has been on the Indiana Pacers for the last season and a half, after being dealt away from the Raptors in January 2024.
A 27th overall draft pick in 2016, Siakam built up quite the resume in Toronto: two All-Star appearances, two All-NBA appearances, the NBA's Most Improved Player award in 2018-19, and, of course, being a part of the 2019 NBA title-winning roster.
Siakam's Pacers fell in Game 7 of the NBA Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder this year. Following the loss, Siakam admitted that his time in Toronto had a bit of a tougher end than he'd previously let on.
"A couple years ago, I think basketball was just, kind of dark for me. It was not fun at all. And I got traded here and these guys, they just gave me a boost — starting with [Tyrese Haliburton] obviously — just playing with these guys has been so incredible," Siakam told reporters. "Just finding my joy for the game."

lol former raptor is how he’s known
Haha reading it was a KFC is even better. What’s that cost him? Like $200? Nice gesture but funny it was just kfc
Siakam is a certified good dude. Love his game and glad he found his way to Indy
It’s nice and surprise. Good for everyone and enjoy the meal.
Was there. Can confirm
will always have love for this man
Spicy P 🌶️ Always been a great dude
a free meal is a good meal. no matter if it was 20 bucks or 200.
I’m here to vouch Carribean KFC is so much better than US KFC. Taste, texture, and seasonings. Just tastes more fresh. Sides wise though, it’s fairly similar.
Note: Only experience is Antigua, and I didn’t realize it extended to other islands.
