Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris couldn't help but poke fun at a fan online who blamed him for losing money. Shortly after the Sixers took home a 141-136 win over the Washington Wizards on Wednesday, Tobi re-tweeted a post from a stranger claiming he owes him $1900 that he lost in a bet.
The 6-foot-8 scorer had this cheeky response, claiming he should have made a wiser bet by investing the money on cryptocurrency instead.
Should’ve invested that shit in Bitcoin … https://t.co/9J9VbsiFrx

The Twitter user was pointing out the two missed free throws that Harris flubbed with seven ticks left in regulation. For what it's worth, those missed freebies had no bearing to the end result considering Philly already had the victory in the bag. However, those two missed opportunities would have probably covered the man's spread.
Tobias Harris did have a fine game against Washington, scoring 19 points on 8-for-16 shooting from the field and 3-of-7 from three, along with seven boards and three assists in 41 minutes for the Sixers. But looks like he still can't please everyone and this man will probably never forgive him for those wasted charity stripe trips.
By the looks of it, Tobias Harris is the latest NBA player to have a growing fascination with Bitcoin. Brooklyn Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie grabbed headlines last year when he expressed his desire to tokenized his own contract with the popular cryptocurrency.
Gambling, on the other hand, will always be part of professional sports and gives fans an opportunity to incentivize the sport of their choice. But judging by his crude response looks like Tobias Harris does not care one bit if you lose money at his expense. He just wants the W.
