Thunder big man Mitch McGary is 'The Snake God,' FYI

[admin]

Mitch McGary had some time on his hands last fall while recovering from a left foot fracture, so the Oklahoma City Thunder rookie passed the time like any of us would — by buying three baby snakes, naming them Zoey, Zeus and Layla, and going about the business of raising them. McGary's clearly a doting and committed pet owner; I mean, check out just how much the "babies" have grown under the warm, nurturing care of "The Snake God."
Oh, bee-tee-dubs, Mitch McGary is calling himself "THE SNAKE GOD."

Now, if you're anything like intrepid Thunder beat reporter Darnell Mayberry of The Oklahoman, you might be a bit concerned for the well-being of the 23-year-old big man — you know, on account of all those snakes around his neck. McGary appreciates your concern, but assures you that there's nothing to fear here:

@DarnellMayberry thanks for the concern. I'm doing great! #ThunderUp pic.twitter.com/RWcFiL8mVx
