NBA Finals media day: Guillermo and Draymond shine brightest

This “reporter” has been fooling American sport stars for years — but he managed to find a new victim at the NBA Finals media day.

Guillermo strikes again.

The hilarious star from Jimmy Kimmel Live! gatecrashed NBA Finals media day — and delivered the type of awkward moments he’s paid to produce.

Warriors player Alfonzo McKinnie, who had no idea who Guillermo was, copped it sweetest when he was asked what he’d miss most about Kevin Durant and if he was excited to have a “threesome”.

“What are you going to miss the most about Kevin Durant? Are you excited for a threesome? When a team wins three years in a row.”

Toronto, which hosts Game 1 of the series on Friday (AEST), didn’t escape either.

Norman Powell was asked to do a shot of maple syrup before being asked what a Raptor was.

The other star of the session was undoubtedly Golden State quote machine Draymond Green.

Asked about the challenge facing centre DeMarcus Cousins as he prepares to return from injury, Green produced some gold.

He also delivered a powerful message about greatness.

“As a competitor, if you’re trying to do something meaningful, if you don’t have the mindset that you are the best ever then you’ve failed already,” Green said.

“So if you don’t have the mindset that you’re the best reporter ever then you already failed. And that has been my mindset since I can remember. That will be my mindset as long as I can remember anything — that I am the best ever at what I do. And every day that I step on the basketball floor I will strive to be that.

“But my mindset will be as such as I am the best to do what I do. And that will give me a shot at being the best. But before you can ever reach anything you have to believe it. You don’t just mistakenly become great at something.

“You probably at one time or another believed that you could be great at that. And then you worked to get great at that and you reached that greatness. But you don’t mistakenly become great and then you start to believe ‘Oh man, I’m great at that!’ No, you believed that before and you worked to get that. So I always believe that and I work every day to reach that.”

Just like Guillermo believes in being the best late night talk show sidekick ever.
