Royal Gomez will always have an interesting story to tell.
The Nuggets fan was one of a handful of people who responded to a challenge from Denver rookie Michael Porter Jr. to play a game of NBA 2K. The caveat was that Porter was only willing to play people who would place a wager on the game.
Most of the people who got the chance to take on Porter put up money. Gomez however, decided to bet a pair of sneakers he purchased with the money he was gifted after graduating high school the spring, according to Adam Mares of Denver Stiffs.
