Owner, chef, restauranteur, and longtime Golden State Warriors fan Guy Fieri is perhaps the most gloating celebrity in the surroundings of Oracle Arena, infamously claiming his (minor) involvement on bringing Kevin Durant to the Bay Area.

Fieri was part of the All-Star Weekend set of NBA TV's The Starters, sharing an anecdote that involved him and Durant in conversations prior to his arrival at Golden State, which ultimately came to fruition.

The Food Network TV personality dropped back in during media availability day and was asked if he was getting a ring if the Warriors win the championship this year.

“Listen, I think we should start that campaign right now,” Fieri said. “Because if you don't believe, that's what everybody asks me every day.”

“Isn't this awesome? I was talking about super groups coming together and the only way I could explain it was when Sammy Hagar went to Van Halen — when you put together those powers and just roll, y'know?”

When asked for his final prediction, Fieri offered that it would be a five-game series — saying that he couldn't see a LeBron James-led team getting swept and going away that easily.

The colorful chef also has a bet going on with fellow Food Network personality Michael Symon, a known fan of the Cleveland Cavaliers — with the championship winner forcing the other to wear the opposite team's personalized jersey with their very own last name in it.
