First off: Happy Thanksgiving to every one of our Complex readers. To celebrate this joyous holiday, we've gathered photos of LeBron James, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Tom Brady showing off what they have in common with mortals—they too like to eat food. Crazy, right? Ronaldo likes KFC and Brady loves turkey legs just like the rest of us. While you're gathering with loved ones and chowing down on giant bites of American Exceptionalism, click through this Gallery: Athletes Pigging Out and try not to get the itis.
Charles Barkley
Charles Barkley sure does love his cot damn Domino's.
Hedo Türkoğlu
Before Game 7 of the 2009 Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Celtics, Hedo Türkoğlu ate an entire pizza. He went on to score 25 points, dish out 12 assists, and grab five boards.
Jeremy Lin
Jeremy Lin is coming proper here with that double-double animal style and cheese fries.
Yao Ming, Patrick Ewing, and Dikembe Mutombo
Just thinking about Patrick Ewing not being able to understand anything that Yao or Dikembe Mutombo said during this grand meal makes the picture worth it.
Mark Sanchez
Besides the butt fumble, the high school girlfriend, and the endless amount of interceptions he's thrown, Mark Sanchez eating a hot dog during a game is about as Mark Sanchez as Mark Sanchez gets. He ain't Babe Ruth, that's for sure.
Manny Pacquiao
Flower child.
Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Each one of those donuts costs like 1/115th of 0.000000000000001% of Floyd Mayweather's wealth.
LeBron James
LeBron James took a lot of shit for these McDonald's advertisements, but really, blaming the guy for potentially promoting childhood obesity is dumber than still being butt-hurt about "The Decision." Get over yourself.
Neymar
Look at Neymar eye his friend's plate like he doesn't have food in front of his. The hunger is real.
Cristiano Ronaldo
Slick hair, a fine tan, nicely toned muscles—this is probably the best a man can look mid-bite into a panini.
Alex Rodriguez
He has Cameron Diaz hand-feeding him popcorn. King.
Josh Beckett
At this point, every Red Sox fan with memories of the 2011 team is now lighting themselves on fire.
Shaquille O'Neal
Lesson learned: If you ever want proper context of how big a piece of food really is, never put it next to Shaquille O'Neal's head.
Vince Wilfork
Arguably the defining image of 325-lb Vince Wilfork's career.
Tom Brady
Nothing to see here, just Tom Brady exaggerating his manliness for the cameras.
The Detroit Lions
Unfortunately for the Lions, a celebratory turkey leg isn't something the team is used to. They have an all-time Thanksgiving Day game record of 33-34-2.
Michael Phelps
Why doesn't our Subway sandwich ever look that good?
Lance Armstrong
The sweet taste of Cheater's Pie.
Brett Favre
A well deserved bite of turkey leg after yet (another) beatdown on the Lions on Thanksgiving. The Lions haven't beaten the Packers on Turkey Day since 2003.
Cristiano Ronaldo
Wait until he gets his first bite of Popeyes. Now that'd be a GIF for the ages.
