Golden State Warriors champion forward Juan Toscano-Anderson may have jumped ship to join the Los Angeles Lakers, but the Dubs will always be a part of the Oakland native. Conversely, because of his hand in the Warriors’ 2022 title, the team and JTA will forever be entangled.
And to Toscano-Anderson, that’s the way things should be, given Golden State was a formative force in shaping the Californian into the basketball player he is today. Speaking with Warriors Wire in Mexico City for a basketball camp he hosts in his family’s ancestral country, Toscano-Anderson related what it was like for a local son such as himself to win a title with the team representing his Bay Area Warriors.
“It was amazing,” said the former Duns wing. “I think the most amazing part was being at the parade.”
While perhaps not as cathartic as giving @juanonjuan10 a hard time for helping beat my Celtics in the Finals, his journey there & what he's doing for the country that helped get him to such heights is a far more interesting tale. @COMETUD @NBAMEX
