Grin and “Bear” It
Earlier in day on Friday, it was reported that the longtime man in the iconic Bear costume had been replaced. Many were curious to see how the new guy would do.
Keeping an eye out for the new guy in the bear suit… #GSWatUTA

The Warriors had Steph, KD, Klay, and Draymond on the court at the same time, and Jonas Jerebko ended up making the game winning shot 👀 pic.twitter.com/kfOgzSWpWC
