2. Warriors: Draymond Green drops F-bomb on live tv
During his podcast at the start of the season, Draymond Green said “don’t let us win a f—ing championship.” Well, Golden State did just that, which meant that Green would be on top of the world and let his critics know about it.
Green was interviewed live on television and was asked about what he has to say about those who doubted the Warriors. Green asked if it was live tv, and then said “f–k them.”
"This is live TV right? F--k 'em!"

1. Warriors: A tough day for Klay
In his first season back since recovering from a torn ACL and a ruptured Achilles, Klay Thompson is once again an NBA champion.
Thompson was filming on Instagram Live on his way to the parade, where his championship hat flew off of his head and into the water. With that, Thompson had to wear his boating hat in place of the one that was lost at sea. As it turns out, Klay almost avoided disaster.
As he walked off of the bus to greet fans, Thompson dropped one of his NBA Championship rings on the ground among the confetti. Luckily, he was able to find it.
