While the arena was buzzing and roaring on, McCauley had to address what happened during E-40’s trip to Sacramento. At one time, the rapper was enraged by the incident. A swarm of support came in as well. Warriors star Klay Thompson said “He?s been our biggest supporter” and that the rapper deserves to be near the Warriors bench.
