The Golden State Warriors made a triumphant return home on Friday, proudly displaying their new Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy. This latest victory marks their fourth title in just eight seasons, as they clinched the win in Game 6 of the NBA Finals against the Celtics.
As their plane landed at San Francisco International Airport, the NBC Bay Area SkyRanger captured the exciting moment. The only welcoming committee present was the Chase Center employees, who greeted the team as they arrived back in the Bay Area. Draymond Green proudly lifted the trophy aloft, with his teammates like Klay Thompson and Steph Curry by his side.
Curry expressed his joy at bringing the championship back to where it belongs, referring to it as the “Warriors Invitational,” as they secured their fourth title in eight seasons against the Boston Celtics.
Upon his return to the Bay Area, Steph Curry, the star player of the Warriors and NBA Finals MVP, reflected on the team’s victory in the championship game the previous night. Clutching onto his first-ever MVP finals trophy, Curry expressed the emotions of finally getting the job done after a roller coaster of a journey. He emphasized the hard work put in by the entire team and the excitement that comes with achieving such a milestone, especially for those experiencing it for the first time. Speaking on behalf of the team, Curry and coach Steve Kerr shared their joy and celebration following the impressive win. Kerr even admitted to feeling a bit hungover from the festivities of the night before, highlighting the team’s excitement and camaraderie in their victory.
Upon his arrival at SFO on Friday, Warriors Head Coach Steve Kerr discussed the team’s celebration following their recent NBA Championship win on Thursday night. The team had a lot to be proud of, having overcome injuries and naysayers. Just three seasons ago, they were considered the worst team in the league. Kerr described this win as the most unexpected of the four championships the team has achieved. The previous three wins took place in Oakland, making this victory all the more special for San Francisco Mayor London Breed, who greeted the team at the airport. She expressed her excitement at witnessing the team’s success in San Francisco for the first time, stating that it felt almost surreal for long-time Warriors fans.
