Did you smack talk him about not knowing Bill Russell. I hope you did after he tried argue with you about all NBA topics.

Dude should be embarrassed :lol:

To his credit he eventually conceded lol

:lol: How much money was the bet

Almost everything Ricky Davis ever said or did was mind boggling. Wish I had his talent, but...yeah...

I would refuse to call him a Celtics fan. I'd just ask him how the Sixers are going, or something, every single time I saw him. Every. Single. Time.

I gave him a chance to back out about halfway through but he kept insisting, so I said when you finally realize you're wrong, you can just buy me lunch one day lol.

Agree. Mind-boggling that people actually believe it.

-In 2015/16 I remember hearing that Jabari Parker was better than Giannis.
-In 2019 I remember hearing that Middleton was Batman and Giannis was Robin. Sadly, some have still clung to this belief.
-When the Knicks signed Thanasis, supposedly Giannis was joining the Knicks because of it. When the Lakers signed Kostas, supposedly Giannis was joining the Lakers because of it.
