Jackson State’s manager ‘Snacks’ Lee is your new favorite player
Mar 3, 2020, 8:26 AM
College basketball senior nights are usually about celebrating the players who invested four years on the court. Monday at Jackson State, it became more about Thomas Lee, who contributed on the sidelines as a student manager without a minute played in his college basketball career.
That’s because the Tigers suited up Lee and, with a big lead on Arkansas-Pine Bluff, found a moment to get the manager his first game action.
Now Lee, whose nickname is “Snacks,” is an internet sensation.

The crowd asked for Snacks and got one for the memory books.
The 6-foot senior guard from Jackson, Miss., hoisted four three-pointers in his first two minutes of college basketball action, hitting the final attempt to the delight of the crowd and his teammates at Lee E. Williams Athletics & Assembly Center.
Fans online caught wind of the story on Tuesday morning and it went viral.
