Almost three weeks after capturing this year’s NBA title, Golden State Warriors center Zaza Pachulia is still on a championship high, especially with it being the first of his career. He recently joined Dirk Nowitzki’s charity baseball game and was asked during its press conference how he’s feeling now.

The Georgian international jokingly said that he is still hungover from all the drinking and partying he and his teammates had following their Game 5 win against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He then turned serious in saying he is glad to be part of the exhibition game, to raise funds for a good cause.

His hilarious statement comes after he once again made fun of Klay Thompson for missing two dunks during his tour in China. He posted the video of it while challenging him to a dunk contest.

The two have had a highly entertaining back-and-forth since Pachulia outscored Thompson in one game during the playoffs. He took to his social media accounts to remind everyone how historic it was and also rubbed it in to the 27-year-old shooting guard.
