Warriors owner Joe Lacob and his fiancee Nicole Curran slept with the Larry O’Brien Trophy after Golden State won the NBA championship.

If it keeps behaving this way, the Larry O’Brien Trophy is going to gain a reputation.

The NBA’s championship trophy took part in a threesome with Warriors owner Joe Lacob and his fiancée, Nicole Curran, after the Warriors won the title in Cleveland, Lacob recently revealed.

“I had made a promise to myself (that) I would sleep with the trophy that night,” Lacob told Haute Living. “Nicole and I did sleep with it.”

“I’ll leave it to the imagination,” Jacob, 59, added with a grin, the mag noted. “We had a lot of fun with it.”

The Larry O’Brien Trophy does not have a reputation for being a fixture in wild nights.

Even if Lacob was joking, and nothing really happened on that wild night at the Ritz Cartlon in Cleveland, it’s the most interesting bit of news attached to the trophy, well, ever. Larry O’Brien can’t hold a candle to Lord Stanley, as stories of celebrating with the Cup are voluminous, whether that’s due to the trophy itself — you can drink from a cup, but what are you going to do with a gold orb on top of a weird, half-net? — or the nature of the athletes competing for it is up for debate.

As for Lacob’s night with the trophy, his son said that it has since been sanitized.

“The first night was all his,” Kirk Lacob told the San Jose Mercury News. “I told (a team staffer) to give that thing a Purell bath.”
