Chad Johnson is starting to make a name for himself for leaving large tips at restaurants while also calling out NBA players like Damian Lillard.

In May, Johnson visited James Harden’s Thirteen Houston restaurant and left a very generous tip at the place. How much did he tip? $1,300 to be exact while his meal cost only $107.17.

Yep, at the bottom, that’s Johnson effectively calling Harden out for being bad at FIFA. So, when the former NFL wide receiver was visiting Portland, he had to leave a little something for the Blazers superstar.

How Much Did Chad Johnson Tip At IHOP? Johnson Said He Beat Damian Lillard In A 1 On 1

Johnson once more left an incredibly large tip at the IHOP he was eating at in Portland. His bill amounted to $33.50, but he ended up tipping the restaurant $1,000.

He also had some words for Damian Lillard. He brought back the time he beat the NBA superstar in a 1 on 1 back when they both played together at the YMCA.

So, yes, Johnson did say he beat Damian Lillard, and yes it is likely that he did, but just not in the way we would have imagined it.

Could you imagine Johnson squaring up against one of the best players in the NBA right now and taking him down? It would be must-watch entertainment for sure, but unfortunately the moment has already passed before we could see it go down.
