Harrison Barnes isn’t like most young NBA stars. The former No. 7 overall pick just turned 23 and recently let it be known he’s never, ever, had even a sip of alcohol.

The high-flying Golden State Warriors small forward was asked by KNBR’s Dieter Kurtenbach before Game 7 if the 23-year sober streak would end if the Warriors won.

The new NBA Champion held true to his word and was seen enjoying some champagne while the Warriors celebrated their Game 6 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Three of the Warriors starting five players are 25 years old or younger, so the future looks brighter than ever in the Bay Area. Don’t be surprised if Barnes is seen doing the same thing in the Warriors locker room this time next year.

Warriors Tell Festus Ezeli He's Been Cut In Epic Prank

Golden State Warriors forward Andre Iguodala teamed up with the popular ride service 'Lyft' to prank Festus Ezeli recently, and it was nothing short of hilarious. During his ride, Ezeli hears news over the radio that he's been released from the team and isn't quite sure what to make of it. Eventually, the car pulls over, and Iguodala informs Ezeli that he's been pranked. Iguodala almost takes a cake to the face from Ezeli as a result.

Thompson Turns It Over After Celebrating Curry's Shot Too Early

Klay Thompson has played with Stephen Curry for long enough to know that he's a stone cold assassin from downtown. On Friday night against the Dallas Mavericks, Curry began to take a three that Thompson was sure he would make, so he celebrated prematurely. Unfortunately for Thompson, his fellow 'Splash Brother' never shot the ball, and instead passed it his way. Thompson seemed to recover from the error initially, but the possession ultimately ended in a turnover.

Watch Draymond Green's Shove Of Ricky Rubio

Draymond Green gets the benefit of the doubt from referees, but his two-handed shove of Ricky Rubio should not have been ignored and should have been whistled for a foul.
