The Golden State Warriors became the 2022 NBA Finals champions Thursday night. And, with any well-deserved championship, they partied hard…some maybe a little too hard. Just ask Leandro Barbosa, who was seen face down on the floor after celebrating his first NBA championship as a coach.
Nemanja Bjelica posted the hilarious image of the Warriors coach to his Instagram story on Friday, later tweeted by Bleacher Report.
“What a night, but I lost my brate,” the image reads. To top off an already hilarious picture, Bjelica even put a ring emoji on Barbosa's hand to represent the coach's championship ring.
While it may look like it, this isn't Barbosa's first time celebrating an NBA Title. The 39-year-old player mentor coach played for the Warriors when they won the 2015 NBA Finals against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
It seems like all of the coaches were fully committed to celebrating the championship. Steve Kerr admitted to being hungover upon his arrival in San Francisco on Friday. The head coach just earned his ninth NBA championship, proving that no matter how many times you win, you never celebrate any less.
As for Barbosa, he'll have to pace himself if he plans on sticking with Kerr and the Warriors. There's likely a lot more partying in his future.
