According to a few videos posted to Twitter in the past by Sam Hustis of KNBR compiled from an article via Barstool Sports, this is not the first time that Thompson has done this before when it comes to Gatorade products. Hustis tweeted a video less than two weeks ago after the Warriors beat the Orlando Magic at Oracle Arena.
