During their five day trip to Tokyo, the Golden State Warriors only had one day off. Saturday was their chance to explore the city and shop. It was Jordan's chance to go to a cafe. Andrew decided to join the group. "For the vibes." Japanese people love animal cafes. According to Time Out Tokyo, these cafes are places where people can hang out with animals. They sat next to each other on the same bench with the same animals, but they had different experiences. He has an affinity for animals. He is a self-proclaimed animal lover. He held all the animals at the cafe. "Hello, I'm Jordan and I'm here to help," he said while stroking the animal's head. You are adorable." Wow! I don't want to allow you to leave. He wondered if he could get the meerkat or one of the hedgehogs back into the US.

The other man looked almost scared as he tried to pick up a small animal before reversing course and pulling his hands away. It looked like he was dead in the eye, he said. He used to think he was an animal person, but now he knows he is just a dog person.
They were not allowed to leave the cafe until they had at least one of the animals.
"You give me a lot of confidence," he said. Did I give you life? It's all we need.
The man sat and stared at the animal for a short time before moving. He was waiting for it to move its body towards him. Then, cautiously, the man picked it up. He lasted less than a second.
"Wiggs did a great job." I am happy that you did that. I'm feeling good. The experience is amazing. It's a once-in-a-lifetime situation. I think that's wonderful.

"If you want to touch a hedgehog, come to Japan," he said.
Thirty minutes was the right amount of time for Poole to get his animal fix, while it was more than enough for Wiggins to leave his comfort zone with his teammates.
There were a lot of sneaker stores next to the animal café. They wanted to go to that one.
Bape is a brand that began in Japan. Fans began to recognize the players as they made their way down the street. It's not easy for them to hide since they are taller than most of the people in the city and they know that the Warriors are in town. While waiting for the crosswalk, they took photos with people while they walked.
They arrived at the store alone. Not for a while. On their day off, other Warriors players wanted to shop at Bape.
Two people were already there when they arrived.
Kuminga pointed to a pair of sneakers. Imagine these with shorts and a baggy shirt. A small hat is possible. I like it.
There was a jacket on the clothing rack. The assistant coach had just bought a shirt. Iguodala showed up soon after.
Over a CAR?!

A fan event modeled after NBA All-Star Saturday Night was held in Japan. Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson won the 3-point contest as a team, while Kuminga and James Wiseman gave out a perfect 10 score for a dunk, while sitting on the judges' panel for the dunk contest.
Thompson said it was nice to have a combination of great shooting. It was nice to be modest.
