A literal goat wearing a Steph Curry jersey made an appearance at the Warriors' NBA championship parade
- The Golden State Warriors won the 2022 NBA Finals in six games against the Boston Celtics.
- Eight-time NBA All-Star Stephen Curry earned Finals MVP honors along with his fourth career title.
The Golden State Warriors' latest championship has prompted debate over whether team superstar Stephen Curry should be included in the conversation for NBA GOAT — or greatest of all time.
And one passionate fan went to great lengths to underscore Curry's case.
The Warriors celebrated their 2022 NBA Finals win — their fourth in eight years — with a customary victory parade through the streets of San Francisco. As players, coaches, and staff rode atop busses with confetti raining from the skies, supporters looked on from the sidewalk and cheered for the most successful franchise in recent NBA history.
But the aforementioned admirer brought a little something extra to the festivities: a live goat.
The four-legged fan was spotted among the crowd wearing Curry's blue Warriors jersey and a leash. Twitter user @TheWarriorsTalk caught a brief clip of the goat standing on the sidewalk as other parade-goers snuck in double-takes.
The obvious implication of the livestock's presence and its Curry garb is that the Golden State point guard is the GOAT. The eight-time NBA All-Star is almost certainly the greatest shooter the game has ever seen, and now that he's earned his first Finals MVP award, his resume is comparable to many of the league's greats.
Curry is one of six players in NBA history to win at least four titles, earn multiple league MVP honors, and a Finals MVP award; the other five are LeBron James, Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Tim Duncan, per ESPN Stats & Info. While most NBA fans would likely hesitate to place Curry atop the list of the league's greatest stars, he's certainly right there among them.
And he may just be the only one who had a goat wearing his jersey show up to his team's victory parade.
