46. Kevin McHale

Another Boston Celtics legend is making the list, in Basketball Hall of Fame inductee, Kevin McHale. The power forward, who was selected third overall by the Boston Celtics in 1980, went on to average 17.9 points per game throughout his thirteen year NBA career. Kevin McHale was also the one to deliver that infamous hard foul to the Los Angeles Lakers' very own Kurt Rambis in game four of the 1984 NBA Playoffs that has since then become a sports highlight staple.

Throughout McHale's career, he was able to earn three NBA Championships with the Boston Celtics as well as seven NBA All-Star appearances, two Sixth Man of the Year Awards, and earning his way to First Team All-Rookie in 1981. The dominant and lengthy power forward is now one of the NBA's most coveted coaches and is still considering coaching in today's NBA climate after being released from the Houston Rockets in 2015.

Chefs made their way into celebrity land a while ago. But how many celebrities that weren’t trained as professional cooks are actually whizzes in the kitchen? Here are several that come to mind.

II

Actress Julia Roberts is confident about her cooking skills. “I’m quite a good cook,” she told E! News. “I’m like a closet home ec teacher…I can really cook anything.” Roberts has said she often cooks fish for herself and her kids. And speaking of her three children, “They think that I’m a good cook,” Roberts told People. “They actually told me that I should open a restaurant.” She also relishes cooking for the holidays, particularly shredded Brussel sprouts. Roberts hasn’t published a cookbook, but we did find recipes attributed to her for peach crisp and banana hemp muffins. Or you can make the same summer salad the actress supposedly eats.

Chrissy Teigen started off as a supermodel. Then her love of cooking filtered into her professional life too. At this point, she’s created recipes for a limited Blue Apron release and also just launched her own home and cooking line at Target named “Cravings,” after the two cookbooks she’s released. Teigen describes cooking as “a time of peace” for herself. So maybe peace out to her tuna melt sandwich or the fried chicken wings that are a favorite of her husband, John Legend.

Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, comes from a cooking Italian family. Her father started his own restaurant in New York and also published a cookbook. And apparently, Lady Gaga has inherited the family’s cooking genes. Her Instagram account occasionally features photos of her culinary activities. Sure, sometimes it’s topless cooking. But other times it’s more poignant like in the post she shared about her bringing food to the family of her dear friend who passed away. Want to try a Gaga/Germanotta family favorite? Check out her recipe for whole wheat pasta with a sweet fennel sauce.
