Draymond To Cover Flights To Finals For Reporter Who Luckily Was Part Of Warriors Pre-Game Routine

Almost every NBA team has its own special ritual before games. The Golden State Warriors for example, rally around Kevin Durant before heading to the court. But due to his injury, Kevin Durant did not travel to Portland with the team and stayed in the Bay Area working on his imminent comeback.

That’s why before Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals, the Warriors included a reporter who was standing near the team, for their ritual. Stephen Curry grabbed the reporter who was standing near the team and put him in the middle of the circle. It ended up being a success, as the Warriors also won Game 4, sweeping the Blazers in the process.

After the game, Draymond Green noticed the reporter and told him that he’ll cover his flights to the Finals.

“I gotta buy his flight to the Finals … I ain’t paying for your hotel though.”
