Tobias Harris Made Crumbl Cookies a Trending Topic, and NBA Fans Had Jokes

Tobias Harris NBA Crumbl Sixers 76ers

With the NBA draft in the rearview mirror and free agency on the horizon, trade rumor season is in full effect. Most players have a general understanding of whether or not there’s a chance they’ll be on the move, or at the very least have access to what people are talking about on social media in regard to possible trade scenarios.

Consider 76ers forward Tobias Harris someone who knows his time with his team could be coming to an end. And if that’s the case? Well, that’s just the way the cookie crumbles.

Harris was asked about trade rumors on Tuesday, and provided one of the best sound bites of the offseason, quipping that “casual” Sixers fans would be glad to trade him for, well, a modest return—a Crumbl cookie.

Harris has spent the past four-plus seasons with the Sixers after being traded from the Clippers to Philadelphia in 2019. He has one year remaining on the five-year, $180 million contract he signed that summer, and he’s set to make nearly $40 million next season, so it stands to reason that his name has come up in trade rumors—should the team look to shed salary and get rid of an expiring contract.

But a Crumbl cookie for a player who averaged 14.9 points and shot 38.9% from deep last year? Surely Sixers brass would be able to do better than that. Here are some of the best jokes that sprung from Harris’s viral dessert moment.

Eventually, the Crumbl company itself weighed in on the conversation.

And Harris himself chimed in against to explain that he meant no ill will toward the Crumbl brand.
