The Golden State Warriors are just one game away from winning it all. They lead the 2022 NBA Finals three games to two against the Boston Celtics. After going down two games to one after three games, the Warriors have made a huge comeback in the series-winning back-to-back games and are now with a chance to win the NBA Championship in Boston.
For the Golden State Warriors, many young players have stepped up for them. Players like Jordan Poole and Gary Payton II have stepped up mightily for the Warriors throughout their playoff run. In a recent interview, Gary was asked a question about his smile and he had a brilliant answer for that. Gary said, “A lot of Bob Marley. A lot of Bob, lot of Bob. Sit in the room and just sit back and reflect, listen to Bob, try to be happy.”
