Michael Kidd-Gilchrist wears UConn shirt after losing bet

James Dator
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

Kemba Walker and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist of the Charlotte Bobcats have plenty to celebrate this year after leading their team to the NBA playoffs, but only one of them could bask in college basketball glory on Monday night.

Walker was part of UConn’s championship team in 2011, Kidd-Gilchrist did it the next year with Kentucky -- so naturally they needed a friendly bet when the teams squared off. MKG looks none too pleased with having to wear a Huskies shirt, but the hidden star of this photo is Walker’s sofa, which the 6’1 point guard needed to stand on in order to be eye-to-eye with his teammate.
