There are two well-known figures known as “Papi” in the sports world: the Big Papi (David Ortiz) and Papi from the show “Dan Le Batard is Highly Questionable”.
Papi has been involved in a countless number of interviews with his son Le Batard on ESPN, so most – especially athletes around the country – are aware of who Papi is. Below are some notable clips of him at his finest:
PAPI TAUNTS CHARLES BARKLEY:
PAPI TELLS BOMANI JONES TO GO TO HELL:
PAPI RANT:

Mother just told me papi just met Javale McGee at a whole foods, papi introduced himself and was crushed that McGee had no idea who he was

Ouch. It’s gotta sting when someone you believe would recognize you actually has no idea who you are at all. Still, Papi shouldn’t lose too much sleep over this one. After all, McGee is just a player who is mostly recognized as that guy who is always on Shaqtin’ A Fool:
Is it really a big deal that this guy doesn’t recognize you?
