Kent Bazemore, the Warriors' number one hype man, will no longer be waving his towel on Golden State's bench. The man who invented "Bazemoring" has been traded (along with MarShon Brooks) to the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for Steve Blake. With this trade, the Warriors have finally gained the veteran point guard they've been searching for, but it came at a cost - the Warriors gave up a fan favorite whose energy and work ethic earned the respect of teammates, coaches and fans alike.
I know that I'm speaking for the majority of Golden State's fans when I say: Kent Bazemore, you will be missed.
Here's a little tribute to Bazemore, featuring some of his most memorable Warriors moments - good luck on the Los Angeles Lakers!
Bazemore was constantly seen cheering on his teammates. He was definitely the Warriors' biggest cheerleader, on and off the bench.
