Every NBA team’s most famous fan
By Dylan Hughes
Golden State Warriors — E-40
It is hard to remember a time when E-40 wasn’t rocking Warriors gear in Oracle Arena. Like many other celebrities, 40 has been there during this magical Golden State run of the past few years. But 40 has been there long before then.
E-40 claims to have been a fan of the Warriors ever since he was a kid, also has put in a Warriors-themed basketball court in the house he built 20 years ago. He has no reason to have to defend his Warriors fandom at this point, even in a world (and arena) of bandwagon fans.
E-40 has sat next to many famous people courtside at Warriors games over the years, namely fellow Bay Area rapper G-Eazy. Last season, 40 surprised people with his new guest — Guy Fieri.
E-40 also made a Warriors-themed remix.
"[Verse 1:] Did it happen in one day? (Nope) Came a long way? (Yup) Never know what kind of angle (Nope) Crossover, break your ankle (Yup) Sloppy with the rock? (Nope) Steph Curry with the shot? (Yup) Suckers? (Nope) Splash Brothers? (Yup) Ain’t no stoppin’ (Nope) Klay Thompson? (Yup) Under pressure, is he chokin’? (Nope) Do it big like Bogut? (Yup) Never let ’em tell us that we can’t (Nope) Go hard like Barnes in the paint? (Yup) Never ever slowin’ up the pace (Nope) Shoot a three-pointer in his face (Yup) [Hook:] Everybody say, “Warriors”, Warriors Everybody say, “Warriors”, Warriors Everybody say, “Warriors”, Warriors Everybody say, “Warriors”, Warriors"
E-40, at this point, is one of the NBA’s most recognizable and consistent fans.
