The Golden State Warriors are in a good position to be NBA Champions after winning Game 1 of the NBA Finals in dominating fashion. LeSean McCoy is counting on it.
Sunday, before the start of Game 2, ESPN writer David Payne Purdum shared an image of a betting slip that reportedly belongs to Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy. According to the slip, McCoy has placed a $200,000 bet on the Warriors to win the best of seven series.
The payout would be $62,000, which would seem to indicate that McCoy has some serious faith in the Warriors, as he put up quite a lot of money to get a relatively small return. Of course, we say relatively as McCoy has made tens of millions of dollars so far in his career, and a $62,000 payout is kind of a drop in the bucket for an athlete with his salary. But hey, winning is winning, and if McCoy's correct, that's $62,000 more than he had before.
