Juan Toscano-Anderson’s struggle story isn’t unknown to NBA fans. Born and brought up in Oakland, Juan’s dream came true when he got a chance to play for his hometown team, Golden State Warriors. He got first little recognition for his celebration of a three-pointer by Stephen even before the ball was released from the latter’s hand. It was during a game against Orlando Magic. After that, Juan received a lot of love and appreciation from NBA fans. His humble background and sharp skills are the reason that he is playing for his hometown team. He said in an interview that even if the other team had offered him more money, he would have played for the Golden State Warriors only.

Juan Snubbing Kevin Durant
Juan Toscano-Anderson went to Twitter to answer some questions that were asked of him. One such question was about his favorite All-time Warriors squad, and Juan named Baron Davis, Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green. It was quite surprising that Juan snubbed Kevin Durant who is one of the elite players in the NBA right now. Juan snubbing Kevin was noticed by a lot of fans because his naming Klay and missing out on Kevin is uncommon.

Also, in the same QNA, Juan was asked about their favorite player of his childhood which he named Kobe Bryant and Allen Iverson. Kobe is everyone’s favorite right now. The influence of Kobe is not just limited to the NBA but goes beyond it.
Juan, coming from a struggling background and making it big in the NBA, will also remain one of the inspiring stories in the NBA. There was a time when he wasn’t expecting himself to play basketball and was looking for opportunities in some other field but his hard work in this field paid off, and he played for his hometown team, Golden State Warriors, during the initial phase of his career.
