A few months ago I won the 2009 TrueHoop Stat Geek Smackdown. And here is my prize:
Henry Abbott did give me some choices. Last year Justin Kubatko was given a Greg Oden jersey. After some conversation, I decided that I would like a banner in my office that would demonstrate to my students that at one point in my life as an economist, I made some predictions that actually came true. So I asked Henry for a Pistons banner that he graciously signed. And now, as you can see, the banner is in my office and I am sure many of my students (some? one or two?) will be very impressed each time they visit in the future.

Congratulations, David, glad it got there. (You know how we are at TrueHoop — nothing but prompt! You won in June, we get you your prize in October!)
I would like to add that I am honored that you asked me to sign this. It is maybe the fourth time in my life that someone has sought my autograph, and at least two of the earlier ones were people who thought I was some other, more famous bald person.
Congratulations, Dave!
Congrats, Dave
I’m jealous that banner is not in my office :)
Congrats prof, a beacon, as always!
Congrats and I hope you repeat! Or Three-peat!
That would look so good in my office… In Celtics form of course
