Look: Joe Thomas pays up on NBA Finals jersey bet
Former Cleveland Browns left tackle Joe Thomas came up with a creative solution to his Twitter pledge to buy fans a game-worn and signed NBA jersey.
Thomas made the promise in May while attempting to one-up his ex-teammate Damarious Randall, who also vowed to buy jerseys for anyone who retweeted him if the Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals.
I’m so confident in my @cavs, if the @warriors win the 2018 NBA finals, I’ll buy anyone who retweets this a signed @StephenCurry30 gameworn jersey. Even you @RandallTime. @KingJames https://t.co/zsQp3LxGbu

Ok, it can be any signed, game worn @NBA jersey. Doesn’t have to be @warriors.

The Warriors won, but instead of receiving a game-worn jersey, fans were sent a hilarious shirt that reads "I was promised a game worn, signed LeBron James jersey, and all I got was this crappy shirt from Joe Thomas."
Hey @joethomas73 thanks 4 my "crappy T-shirt"! This is far better than a jersey signed by some Lakers player! @NickWilson923 @KenCarman @MrKennyKidd pic.twitter.com/x5jc75GDo1
