在NBA賽場(chǎng)里，有這么一群球隊(duì),，乍看起來(lái)跟普通的球迷差不多,。

不過(guò)在今年NBA總決賽第三場(chǎng)多倫多猛龍隊(duì)對(duì)金州勇士隊(duì)的比賽中，一個(gè)坐在場(chǎng)邊的穿著保守的球迷推搡了猛龍隊(duì)的后衛(wèi)凱爾·洛瑞,，事后大家才知道,，這位不文明球迷竟然是硅谷的億萬(wàn)富翁投資人馬克·史蒂芬斯，他還是金州勇士隊(duì)的一個(gè)小股東,。消息一出,，激起了軒然大波。史蒂芬斯被罰一年不得在現(xiàn)場(chǎng)觀看NBA的比賽,，并處50萬(wàn)美元罰金,。由于此事的發(fā)酵，他在金州勇士隊(duì)的那些股份現(xiàn)在也岌岌可危了,。

這件事也揭露了金州勇士隊(duì)保守得很好的一個(gè)小秘密——如果你認(rèn)識(shí)所有的硅谷大佬,，你就總能在勇士隊(duì)的比賽中發(fā)現(xiàn)某位科技界億萬(wàn)富翁的身影。金州勇士隊(duì)的板凳區(qū)旁邊的座位甚至被人戲稱為“億萬(wàn)富翁專區(qū)”,。

這倒并不令人意外,，因?yàn)橛率筷?duì)的老板喬·萊科布本人就是一位資深風(fēng)投人士。經(jīng)常來(lái)現(xiàn)場(chǎng)看比賽的還有知名風(fēng)投機(jī)構(gòu)安德森霍洛維茨基金的聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人,、合伙人本·霍洛維茨,。霍洛維茨據(jù)說(shuō)也是勇士隊(duì)的鋒衛(wèi)搖擺人伊戈達(dá)拉的好朋友,，他和霍洛維茨基金的另一合伙人杰夫·喬丹還為伊戈達(dá)拉提供過(guò)咨詢服務(wù),。

Salesforce公司的CEO馬克·貝尼奧夫也曾經(jīng)在金州勇士隊(duì)的主場(chǎng)——加州奧蘭多的甲骨文體育館現(xiàn)場(chǎng)觀看過(guò)比賽,。Airbnb的CEO布萊恩·切斯基也經(jīng)常到現(xiàn)場(chǎng)看球。在上周五的比賽中,，勇士隊(duì)以92:105不敵猛龍隊(duì),，很多勇士隊(duì)的前排球迷不等比賽結(jié)束便提前離場(chǎng)了。

蘋果公司的互聯(lián)網(wǎng)和軟件服務(wù)高級(jí)副總裁艾迪·庫(kù)伊也是勇士隊(duì)的死忠粉,。在現(xiàn)場(chǎng)觀戰(zhàn)時(shí),，他經(jīng)常激動(dòng)得從座椅上跳起來(lái)。勇士隊(duì)2015年第一次奪冠后,，他甚至還在推特上發(fā)了一張自己戴著碩大的鑲滿黃金和鉆石的總冠軍戒指的照片,。

在2017年總決賽的一場(chǎng)比賽中，庫(kù)伊還對(duì)克里夫蘭騎士隊(duì)的球迷,、POP天后蕾哈娜大喊大叫起來(lái),。據(jù)報(bào)道，庫(kù)伊當(dāng)時(shí)指著蕾哈娜的方向?qū)ι磉叺娜苏f(shuō)：“讓那個(gè)賤人坐下,！”號(hào)稱“蕾哈娜的海軍”的天后后援團(tuán)的粉絲們怒了,，在社交媒體上紛紛放話要滅了這貨乃至蘋果公司。庫(kù)伊只得通過(guò)推特向蕾哈娜示好：“我對(duì)蕾哈娜（還有杜蘭特）只有愛(ài),，沒(méi)有別的,！我當(dāng)時(shí)是為我們隊(duì)的領(lǐng)先感到興奮，我其實(shí)是跟右邊與我隔了8個(gè)位子的瑪麗莎說(shuō)話來(lái)著,！”雖然他沒(méi)說(shuō)瑪麗莎是誰(shuí),，但很多人猜測(cè)她是雅虎的前CEO瑪麗莎·梅耶爾。

實(shí)際上,，金州勇士隊(duì)和科技界的聯(lián)系是非常緊密的,，勇士隊(duì)的庫(kù)里、杜蘭特和伊戈達(dá)拉等都投資了幾家硅谷的創(chuàng)業(yè)公司,。

庫(kù)里投資的公司名叫CoachUp和SnapTravel,，前者是一家將專業(yè)私教和年輕運(yùn)動(dòng)員進(jìn)行配對(duì)的創(chuàng)業(yè)公司，后者則是一家多倫多的創(chuàng)業(yè)公司,，可以通過(guò)WhatsApp和Pinterest等社交媒體平臺(tái)簡(jiǎn)化酒店的預(yù)訂流程,。杜蘭特則投資了一個(gè)名叫Postmates的食品外賣服務(wù)平臺(tái)，和一個(gè)叫Acorns的微投資APP,。

伊戈達(dá)拉也投資了三家公司。一家是阿里安娜·赫芬頓支持的健康與保健網(wǎng)站Thrive Global,；一家是專門針對(duì)有色族裔的健康和美容創(chuàng)業(yè)公司W(wǎng)alker & Company,；另一家是由棒球界的傳奇人物德里克·吉特創(chuàng)辦的媒體平臺(tái)The Players’ Tribune，它允許運(yùn)動(dòng)員實(shí)名注冊(cè)并發(fā)表內(nèi)容,。

金州勇士隊(duì)的主要贊助商還包括日本電商網(wǎng)站樂(lè)天（他們的標(biāo)識(shí)還出現(xiàn)在了勇士隊(duì)的球衣上）,。今年秋天,，擁有更高科技含量的勇士隊(duì)新主場(chǎng)場(chǎng)館將在舊金山市中心落成，到時(shí)無(wú)疑將吸引更多的科技界人士到場(chǎng)看球,。

在新球館落成后,，硅谷大佬們就不用擠嚴(yán)重?fù)矶碌暮炒髽蛄耍强梢匝孛绹?guó)101號(hào)高速公路直奔舊金山市區(qū),。這樣一來(lái),，我們必然會(huì)在勇士隊(duì)比賽的現(xiàn)場(chǎng)看見(jiàn)更多硅谷大佬的身影。（財(cái)富中文網(wǎng)）

They only look like your average fans.

It caused quite a stir when the conservatively dressed fan sitting courtside who shoved Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry during Game 3 of the NBA Finals turned out to be Silicon Valley billionaire venture capitalist and Warriors minority owner Mark Stevens. He was consequently banned from attending games for one year, fined $500,000 and his stake in the team likely in jeopardy.

The incident cast a spotlight on a well-kept Warriors secret, which is that if you know who to look for, you can almost always spot a tech billionaire at a Warriors game. So much so that the courtside seats near the Warriors’ bench are often referred to as “Billionaire’s Row.”

It makes sense, given that Warriors co-owner Joe Lacob is also a longtime VC. Other regulars include Ben Horowitz, a co-founder and general partner at the VC firm, Andreessen Horowitz. Horowitz is considered good friends with Andre Iguodala, the Warriors’ swingman, and known for advising the basketball star along with Jeff Jordan, an Andreessen Horowitz partner.

Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff has been known to sit up close to watch the action at Oracle Arena, the Warriors current home in Oakland, California. Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky has also been spotted taking in games. Many front row fans likely left early Friday after the Warriors lost Game 4 to the Raptors 105-92.

One of the most boisterous Warriors fans is Eddy Cue, Apple’s senior vice president of internet and software services. He’s often seen jumping out of his seat during Warriors’ games. Cue is such a fan that he even tweeted a photo of himself wearing a huge gold and diamond-encrusted Warriors championship ring when the team won its first title in 2015.

At one game, Cue was seen apparently yelling at pop princess Rihanna, a Cleveland Cavaliers fan at the time, during the 2017 NBA Finals. Cue reportedly told others nearby to “tell that b- to sit down,” at the Grammy-winning singer’s direction. RiRi’s fierce legion of fans, dubbed “Rihanna’s Navy,” trolled Cue and Apple mercilessly on social media. This prompted Cue to respond via Twitter. “Nothing but love for Rihanna (and KD, too!) As usual, I was excited about our lead and actually talking to Marissa, 8 seats to my right,” Cue tweeted. While Cue didn’t mention who Marissa was, many assumed it was former Yahoo CEO, Marissa Mayer.

Indeed, the links between tech and the Warriors are so strong that star players Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, and Iguodala have invested in several startups.

Curry has invested in CoachUp, a startup that pairs private coaches with young athletes, SnapTravel, a Toronto-based startup that promotes simplifying the hotel booking process by making reservations on message platforms like WhatsApp, and Pinterest. Durant has invested in online food delivery service Postmates and Acorns, a micro-investing app.

Iguodala has invested in the Arianna Huffington-backed Thrive Global, a health and wellness site; Walker & Company, a health and beauty startup targeted to people of color, and The Players’ Tribune, the media platform allowing athletes to write first-person accounts founded by baseball legend Derek Jeter.

One of the team’s main sponsors includes e-commerce site Rakuten (their logo is on the team’s jerseys), and its new tech-enhanced arena in downtown San Francisco opening this fall will undoubtedly mean more techies will attend.

Expect to see even more billionaires in attendance once they don’t have to cross congested traffic on the Bay Bridge and instead take a long, but occasionally brutal trek up to the city from the Valley on U.S. Highway 101.
