Before Game 6 of the NBA Finals, Golden State Warriors guard Harrison Barnes said he'd drink alcohol for the first time if he won the NBA title:

Barnes, a 23-year-old who was drafted seventh overall in 2012, made good on that promise after the game.

SI's Lee Jenkins was at the Warriors' after-party, and he can confirm that — unlike Andre Iguodala — Barnes did indeed drink a little bit. Barnes even kept his energy up enough to return to the festivities after a midparty shower:

Two Warriors famously abstain from alcohol, Iguodala and Harrison Barnes, and both were under more pressure to drink than college freshmen. "They didn't get me," Iguodala claimed. "They got me," Barnes admitted. When Barnes slipped out the door a little before 3 a.m., saying he needed to shower back at the Ritz, reserve guard Justin Holiday hollered after him: "You're going to be asleep in 10 minutes." Barnes, true to his word, returned. The party churned past 5 a.m.

Harrison Barnes, this Bud's for you!

1. Good for him that he could celebrate, but I also hope he can stay true to his decision later

And not continue to drink if he doesn't want to.
