In March a Warriors fan handed a toaster for Klay Thompson and asked him to sign it. From that moment the Warriors went on an incredible 31-2 win streak and eventually an NBA championship.

Thompson staring confused into the toaster became one of the best images of the season, now it’s paying off in a way the fan could have never imagined.
Still can't believe it. @KlayThompson legit invited me to the parade last night. All because of a toaster. #DubNation

There were jokes after the Warriors won the championship that Klay would be buying toasters for the team, but clarified during his press conference after Game 5 that he only planned to buy everyone toasters if the team managed to go 16-0 during the playoffs, but they lost Game 4 of the Finals.
Ronnie, who kicked all this off, said he plans to bring the toaster to the Warriors parade on Thursday. What a moment it will be.
