Not many people believed in the Raptors at the start of their Eastern Conference finals series against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

After tying the series up at two wins apiece, Toronto’s got the doubters eating their words – literally, for one basketball fan.

“If the Raptors win two games I will throw my cellphone in some teriyaki stir fry and eat it,” tweeted Kazeem Famuyide, founder and editor-in-chief of Stashed magazine, last Sunday.

It was an easy bet to make. The Cavaliers had just blazed through their first two series of the playoffs, sweeping both, while the Raptors fought tooth-and-nail through two seven-game series.

“Me and my friends have a little tradition of putting fun bets on really outlandish things,” said Famuyide. Think Usain Bolt losing to an amateur in a race, or Yao Ming winning a three-point contest.

“That’s what we thought of the Raptors of beating the Cavs,” he admitted.

And after the first two games, Fumayide was feeling pretty good about the bet.

“It looked like it was going to be the same old story, with another walk in the park to the finals for Lebron and the Cavs,” said Famuyide. “Then Bismack decided to turn into Bill Russell, Love looked like he’s playing injured, and DeRozan had himself a game.”

Sure enough, the Internet did not forget about the wager and on Monday, it was time to pay up.
