The Manimal’s always been a fan of #believethehype & jumped at the opportunity to take a photo with Super Fan Nic Goard whilst taking in some of the Vegas Summer League action.

Reports suggest that both Goard & Faried went toe-to-toe in a boat race at Tabu this evening with the Prince of Dubbo coming out on top.

Former NBA All-Star & Olympic Gold Medallist Steve Smith had a similar run-in with Nic’s younger bro Elliot at the urinals inside the Thomas & Mack Center… Smith jumped at the opportunity to get his mug in a photo with the C-Grade Canberra Celebrity.
