Ronnie Reyes was just another long-time Golden State Warriors fan, until that fateful day when he had a Warriors-branded toaster signed by Klay Thompson.
It all began when Reyes' picture on NBA's subreddit of Thompson looking perplexed before signing the now-famous toaster which then became the hottest (pun unintended) new meme circling social media. Little did the Hayward, California native know that his signed toaster would become a lucky charm of sorts for his beloved Dubs. Fellow Warriors fans soon provided updates regarding the team's progress ever since the toaster got signed, and it just so happened that the Warriors went on to finish with an impressive 31-2 record en route to winning the NBA title.
A day after the Warriors clinched the title in Game 5 of the Finals, Reyes took to Twitter to share some fantastic news:
Still can't believe it. @KlayThompson legit invited me to the parade last night. All because of a toaster. #DubNation

Reyes must feel like a million bucks after being somewhat considered an integral part of Dub Nation lore, and it's all because of an obscure household appliance. And yes, he did make it to the Warriors championship day parade.
