PHOENIX, AZ —Phoenix Suns forward Cam Johnson hosted a lemonade stand at Los Olivos Park in Phoenix Monday afternoon, settling a bet he and teammate Mikal Bridges made on the Super Bowl.

Johnson bet on the Cincinnati Bengals —he's a big fan —while Bridges backed the Los Angeles Rams. The pair actually attended the game in Los Angeles, which was won by the Rams 23-20.

That is why Johnson was serving lemonade and cookies to a crowd estimated to be well over 2,000 people, according to ArizonaSports.com.

"I've loved playing in this city since the moment I got here," said the third-year player Johnson, according to the Suns. "I've loved living here and these people are a big part of that ... I hope these people do understand that all this money that they have donated ... is just going to be popped right back into the community."
