Chris Chiozza had himself a big day on Tuesday as part of the Brooklyn Nets’ miraculous 119-116 upset victory — the NBA’s biggest in at least 25 years — over the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday.
The point guard set a career-high in assists, reaching double digits for the first time in his NBA career. He also logged his first double-double at the NBA level, scoring 10 points in the win.
Now, Chiozza logging a double-double may come as a surprise to some, but not nearly as much of a shock as Tuesday’s finish. Most — if not all — thought Milwaukee was a lock to win.
In fact, some were so confident the Bucks were going to cruise past the Nets, they proclaimed on Twitter they’d get tattoos if the Nets won. Like this fan, who said he’d get a “Chris Chiozza tattoo” on his forearm if Brooklyn won on Tuesday:
If this tweet gets 250 likes and the Nets beat the Bucks I’ll get a Chris Chiozza tattoo on my forearm. No joke. https://t.co/hVkhA2w4qc

Turns out, Chiozza saw the tweet.
Looks like the Brooklyn guard expects this NBA fan to make good on his promise.
Uhh Ohhh https://t.co/NuRQPz93t1

Someone made a similar promise, stating “I’ll get a tattoo of Jarrett Allen on my back” if the Nets beat the Bucks.
Well, Brooklyn won, and Allen expects this Nets fan to follow through on what they tweeted:
Just know that we all are waiting on that tattoo @birdsnets pic.twitter.com/RiPRpFMGBJ
