Warriors players reflected on what it took to win the 2017 NBA championship and celebrated with champagne showers in the locker room. The Warriors didn’t go 16-0, so Klay Thompson won’t be purchasing toasters for his teammates.

Back on March 13, a fan had Thompson sign a toaster and the Warriors went on a 14-game winning streak. Until their Game 4 loss, they had been undefeated when Thompson played since the toaster signing.

Thompson, inspired by the success, agreed before the Finals started that he’d buy every player on the team a toaster if they completed their unbeaten run through the playoffs.

He said he’ll invite the fan who had him autograph the toaster to Thursday’s parade, but the team is in no luck.

“We were supposed to go 16-0 for everyone to get toasters,” Thompson said.

Draymond Green’s OK with that.

“I got a toaster at home,” he said. “I don’t want one. I’m good.”
