NBA fans looking to take a trip down memory lane were in for a doozy of a story this week courtesy of an outlandish revelation involving former NBA stars Mike Bibby and Baron Davis.
Appearing on Showtime’s All The Smoke podcast, Bibby was asked by hosts and fellow ex-NBA players Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson whether he had any funny stories about his stint with the Knicks during the 2011–12 season. What followed next was a wild tale that has to be heard to be believed.
The story? Well, according to Bibby, Davis and Knicks teammate Jared Jeffries made a daring bet about who would get hurt first because “both had bad knees.” To most, the absurd wager sounds ominous enough to decline, but apparently, the risk was worth the reward for Davis, who delivered an all-time line to Jeffries after “winning” the bet in May 2012 with a torn ACL in the playoffs against LeBron James’s Heat.
