In September, the Golden State Warriors added a familiar face to Steve Kerr’s coaching staff. After spending time playing professionally in ex-Golden State wing Leandro Barbosa will serve as a player-mentor coach for his former team.
Before he takes his seat on the bench next to Kerr, Barbosa joined a pair of his former All-Star teammates for a workout. On Friday night, Barbosa shared a photo on Instagram featuring Klay Thompson and Draymond Green.
In the caption, Barbosa called back to his famous quote from Golden State’s championship run in 2015.

During Golden State’s extended offseason, both Green and Thompson have shared videos from workouts in Southern California. However, their photo with Barbosa is the first time we’ve seen Green and Thompson on the court since game six of the 2019 NBA Finals.
Thompson, Green and Barbosa will have the chance to connect with Stephen Curry and the rest of Golden State’s roster when San Francisco’s Chase Center opens up for preseason training camp on Dec. 1
