Sixers Star Partners With David Beckham For Snack Product

It's safe to say that Philadelphia 76ers guard Jared McCain has been focused on recovering from the torn meniscus that brought his rookie campaign to an early exit in late November, given that he sat out of the NBA Summer League, and has posted multiple vlogs that show his training regimen.

However, the Sixers guard has found ways to keep himself busy as he has taken the time to promote several products, with one of his most recent being BeeUp, a snack that was created by soccer superstar David Beckham.

What is BeeUp?

The snack itself, as described on the product's website, is geared toward a younger audience that remains on the go, using more natural sweeteners such as honey.

The draw of natural sources for a snack is something that drew McCain to the product, explaining to 76ers On SI that it is something he could've used back when he was growing up, during a stretch of time that his family was trying to shift their diets towards a healthier direction.

"When I was younger, it was so hard to find a healthy snack. My mom tried so hard; she got into her health kick, and we were trying, as a family, to just find something that was on the go..." McCain told 76ers On SI. "Now it's just like a perfect snack for on the go. I use it right before practice. I literally had one this morning when I went to my workout. It's just something easy, and so I'm glad it's like a perfect fit for me."

McCain's Connection to David Beckham

Apart from being a healthier choice, one of the big drawing factors for McCain was getting to work with the aforementioned Beckham, who was the face of an entire generation in England and the soccer world alike, with the Sixers' guard being a big admirer of him, having watched his documentary numerous times during his time at Duke Universtiy.
