Great job GSW for choosing this two great guys whom I considered as my warriors fav players. And overall it's a destiny for JP3 to be in the warriors together with Steph and the whole team to build teamwork and great chemisty in every plays. And also for JP3 to be well known at all and for everybody to appreciate his greatness coz warriors got the best fan in the league win or lose.
