If the Golden State Warriors want to start trolling (even more) on teams who think they got lucky last season, then they should take a page out of Callaway High School’s playbook.
During Callaway’s game Tuesday night, they showed ultimate disrespect to their opponent, Greenville, by rolling the ball towards towards the their head coach after winning the tip-off:

This somehow didn’t lead to an all-out brawl, but the brashness of the move was later validated with Callaway pulling off an overtime victory.
