MrBeast's Unpaid Basketball Bet
Share
Shaan tells a story about hitting a half-court shot and winning a bet against MrBeast, but then struggling to collect the money.
"My coolest moment of the year was at Camp MFM when we were at Duke's basketball stadium. I bet MrBeast $10,000 that I could hit a shot from half court. On the third attempt, I hit it. It was an amazing, fun moment that made the trip more special and memorable.
But it turned into my biggest L of the year because he didn't pay me. I had to follow up 2-3 times, and by the third time, you go from first time cracking jokes like 'hey bitch pay me,' to the second time being more serious, and by the third time, this awesome moment turned into an L because I'm basically begging for the money.
His response was like 'oh sorry my assistant did that, I'm gonna have to yell at him.' This baller moment of confidence turned into a small boy moment of being like 'hey, did you have a chance to... I know you're busy... just... I'll send the details again, maybe it's on my end.'"
