The Cleveland Cavaliers improbably won the 2014 NBA Draft Lottery. For the third time in four years, and for the second consecutive season, the Cleveland Cavaliers are picking first in the NBA Draft. According to ESPN’s Darren Rovell, in the common draft era, which means since 1966, the Cavaliers have had the top overall pick an NBA record six times.

So when the Cavaliers came into the NBA Draft Lottery with a 1.7 percent chance of getting the top overall pick, many were confident they wouldn’t. It led some people to make some outlandish claims like this Reddit user, who said he’d eat his own fecal matter if the Cavaliers got another No. 1 overall pick.

Of course it wasn’t the only time he mentioned it on Reddit, “TimberWolvesGuy” was pretty confident and even offered to stream it on Skype for all to see.

“We all are. If Cleveland get #1, we will host a sh*t party via Skype,” he wrote on Reddit. “At 10pm EST, we will all gather into a massive Skype call and eat our own sh*t. There will be 180k videos streaming of people eating their own shit and it will be glorious.”

Of course he said it “wasn’t a pledge” in a follow up comment. See the thread below:
