NBA Finals: “Dancing Warriors mom” is back in 2017
In Game 1 of the 2017 NBA Finals, a familiar Golden State Warriors fan returned to excite the crowd.
The Warriors mom who gave everyone a smile during last year’s playoffs, came back early in the 2017 NBA Finals to a roaring welcome.
The mom showed off a few of the new moves she’d be working on during her hiatus, but brought back the same enthusiasm for the Warriors. She was wearing her usual Golden State themed sweater.
Her sweater has two words on it: “NBA Champs.” She is honoring the 2015 NBA Finals win of the Golden State Warriors over the Cleveland Cavaliers. Now in the third installment of the rivalry, she hopes to bring back the title to Oakland. Last season, the Cavaliers ran away with the championship after the Warriors had a 3-1 series lead.
This random mom went viral last year when she appeared on the Jumbotron inside Oracle Arena and the rest is history.
Warriors up big early. Dancing mom is feelin' it 🤣🤣🤣💃https://t.co/HpDmc87tAt

Since her first dance, Robin Schreiber has been all over the place. In December 2016, she danced with the cheerleaders during a Golden State Warriors home game. During the 2017 All-Star weekend, she danced with superstar point guard Stephen Curry. The two-time MVP had trouble keeping up with the fast paced gyrations of the dancing mom. She even got to meet the rest of the team, including Klay Thompson and Steve Kerr.
In addition to the Warriors dancing mom, one fan held a sign of LeBron James crying during the warm ups.

The Warriors pulled out all the stops in Game 1 to excite the fans ahead of what is expected to be an outstanding series. After one quarter of basketball, the Golden State Warriors led the Cleveland Cavaliers by a score of 35-30. Andre Iguodala ended the quarter with a buzzer beater from beyond the three-point line. He was the NBA Finals MVP in 2015.
