Rick Pitino invited Tommy DeVito to Madison Square Garden for a bit of ‘Italian luck’

Rick Pitino to Tommy DeVito, maybe: “How’s your jump shot, kid?”

Tommy DeVito mania is fastly approaching epic levels.

New York Giants backup quarterback Tommy DeVito has fully mastered his hero arc, and the world is noticing. In recent weeks, his hype train has only grown, landing him special graphics on ESPN and on the cover of several tabloids.

With an agent that looks like Inspector Gadget and a family that is fully embracing its Italian roots, he is winning games and winning at life.

He’ll likely get to celebrate a little bit longer as legendary college basketball coach Rick Pitino wants to see him at a St. John’s game on December 16 when they take on Fordham.
