Harrison Barnes almost dropped the Larry O'Brien Trophy
Posted Sep 26, 2015
Harrison Barnes may have won an NBA championship with the Golden State Warriors this year, but that doesn’t mean he has moments where he’s not quite on his game. On Saturday, the small forward was back at his alma mater, the University of North Carolina with Warriors teammate (and fellow Tar Heel) James Michael McAdoo for a football game against Delaware. The two were invited onto the field to present the Larry O’Brien Trophy, but Barnes almost dropped it.
