Much was made of the Warriors' unusual "two-timeline" team building: hanging onto group of young, unproven draft picks rather than bundling them in a trade for another veteran alongside Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green.
It paid off with an NBA title, and it was those young players who celebrated the most raucously (non-Draymond division) at the team's championship parade in San Francisco on Monday.
Jordan Poole, the second-year guard who hit two quarter-ending buzzer beating bombs in the Finals, showed up with a super soaker and beach ball.
But it looked like Gary Payton II, who started the season as the 15th man and ended it as a vital cog, got the most out of Poole's water gun.
