The Golden State Warriors are long past being able to do the “nobody believed in us” thing when they win NBA titles. They’ve won a lot, really — three in four years counts as a lot.
All this success, of course, breeds haters, or at least perceived haters, and the Warriors always seem like they have fun responding. For example, Draymond Green once again trolled the Cleveland Cavaliers with a championship parade shirt that poked fun at memes spawned by LeBron and the Cavs. It’s weird, but makes for decent content.
Even those who like the Warriors but aren’t directly affiliated with the team have taken to troll. It’s not enough to be a fan of one of the best teams ever, you’ve got to put it to the Cavaliers for having the misfortune of playing the Warriors in the NBA Finals. And as a result, a San Francisco beer company has released a special beer to troll James.
The beer is centered around James’ reaction to the end of Game 1 of the 2018 NBA Finals, in which J.R. Smith lost track of the score at the end of regulation. James was understandably upset, though it’s unclear if he actually cried on the court.
Warriors fans had their fun with Smith in Game 2, chanting “MVP” at him while shooting a free throw. Warriors fans, of course, didn’t have many more opportunities beyond that because the Warriors swept the Cavaliers in four games.
As for the beer, it actually looks pretty good. Mosaic hops are pretty standard IPA fare these days, though I’m not sure how mixing them with the apparent tears of a human would work in a beer.
