The photo of Green and Curry having dinner together went viral! The reason is simple. The bottle of wine they drank with their meal was worth $50,000. Many fans praised Curry for asking his teammates to drink such expensive wine. Curry scored 53 points and drank 320,000 yuan a bottle of wine with Green late at night. Why is it so extravagant? Green revealed in an interview that the bottle of wine was actually given to them by Warriors owner Lacob.
Heroism! $50,000 worth of wine not Curry paying for dream: Boss Lacob gave us a glass of wine, "Joe (Lacob) was very kind. It was a very expensive bottle of wine. He let us drink it while the team ate . We appreciate him so much. It’s not every day that someone gives you a drink like this..." Green said.
The Warriors did not arrange training yesterday, so they gave the team a day off. Everyone gathered together for a meal to celebrate the important milestone of unlocking Curry. In the first game against the Nuggets, Curry scored 53 points and hit 10 three-pointers. His career scoring total surpassed Chamberlain's and became the Warriors' scoring leader. Lakob also gave me a bottle of expensive wine. The bottle was produced in 2015 and sold online for more than $50,000. Many fans made fun of it at the time. For Curry (annual salary: $43 million) and Green (annual salary: $22.24 million), $50,000 for a bottle is really nothing. Now the answer is revealed. It turns out that it was a gift from the boss, and it really is nothing.
Forbes data shows that Lacob, one of the owners of the Warriors, has a net worth of US$1.2 billion. Although he is not the richest NBA owner, he is really a hero to the players. He is also willing to spend money on team building. This season, the Warriors are expected to pay the luxury tax and rank first in the league. In 2010, Lacob and his partners spent $450 million to purchase the Warriors. At that time, many people thought it was too expensive. The Warriors' market value now reaches $4.7 billion.
