Surprise, surprise everyone! The Golden State Warriors are headed back to the NBA Finals.
It took just four games for the defending champs to punch their ticket back to the big dance and from the sounds of it, they had a little luck on their side. Well, at least that’s what Draymond Green is claiming. The 29-year-old posted his second consecutive triple-double, apparently thanks to a single individual who was on hand to take in the action (and no, it was not one of his teammates). The Warriors usually rally around star scorer Kevin Durant but due to a calf injury, he was unable to join his teammates, so the team had to improvise a bit. Instead, they rallied around a reporter before Green went OFF for 18-14-11.
This prompted Draymond to offer the reporter the opportunity of a lifetime.
What a beauty!
A single ticket on StubHub is selling for $458.99 what in actuality, is penny change for Draymond. The Saginaw Michigan native is scheduled to make $18,539,130 next season and could be in for a hefty raise when he becomes a free agent that summer. Maybe he’ll consider covering some of his hotel fares if he continues to prove to be a good luck charm?
After winning three championships, it really doesn’t seem like luck has had anything to do with the Warriors’ success. But hey, there’s nothing wrong with being a nice dude.
(H/T FTW)
