The 2015-16 NBA season tipped off on Tuesday, and theĀ Golden State Warriors, last year's league champion, took home a 111-95 win over the New Orleans Pelicans behind 40 points fromĀ Golden State guard Stephen Curry, the 2014-15 NBA MVP.
Marshawn Lynch, an Oakland native, was surely rooting for the Bay Area franchise on opening night. After all, the Seahawks running back didĀ take part in the Warriors' championship paradeĀ this past June sporting the team's royal blue and gold ball cap.
ButĀ a recentĀ Bleacher Report postĀ features "Beast Mode" backing an NBA team that no longer exists. In honor of the NBA's new season, the site created NFL/NBA jersey mashups for 22 football teams. Lynch is shown in a green-and-gold Seattle Supersonics-themed Seahawks jersey wearing his No. 24,Ā a number the Sonics retired in 2007Ā to recognize Spencer Haywood, who wasĀ enshrined to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame last month.
Lynch's Seahawks/Sonics digs are laid out for you in this article and Bleacher Report'sĀ full series of NFL/NBA jersey mashupsĀ can be found right here.
