Harrison Barnes would have been within his legal rights — in America, at least — to take his first sip of alcohol two years ago, but the Golden State Warriors forward saved his first drink for a very special occasion.
Prior to Golden State’s win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday night, Barnes had never indulged in an adult beverage in his life. When asked what would happen if his team won it all, Barnes said he was going to be thirsty.
“That’s over,” he said before the game. “I’m celebrating (if we win).”
He did just that.
