Warriors Owner Joe Lacob Reveals He Slept with the Larry O'Brien Trophy

Kyle NewportNov 4, 2015

Despite being introduced to each other just earlier that night, Golden State Warriors owner Joe Lacob had some extra company when he went to bed on June 16 (or in the wee hours of the morning of June 17).

The Larry O'Brien Trophy.

When the Warriors won the 2015 NBA Finals, Lacob made sure to keep a promise that he made to himself about one of the things he wanted to do with the trophy. After all, this was something he had spent years on building to get to this moment.

Here's what Lacob revealed about a special memory he shared with the Larry O'Brien Trophy, per Kelly E. Carter of Haute Living

"

"I had made a promise to myself [that] I would sleep with the trophy that night," reveals Lacob, which rhymes with Jacob. "Nicole [Curran, his longtime fiancee] and I did sleep with it."

On one hand, we want to ask more questions; on the other, we don't really want to know any more than he's already shared. (Not that this animated hoops nut is going to tell us anyway.)

"I'll leave it to the imagination,' he says, grinning. 'We had a lot of fun with it.'

"

So there you have it. He slept with the Larry O'Brien Trophy, and that's all we need to know. Anything else that goes into this story could be classified under "Too Much Information."
