PHOTO: New NBA champions Green, Lee, and Ezeli celebrate with 50-pound champagne bottle
The Golden State Warriors couldn't party on home turf immediately after their Game 6 win in Cleveland, clinching the second championship in franchise history since 1975. They settled for the visitors' locker room in Quicken Loans Arena before heading out on the town in their opponents' backyard.
Upon their return to the Bay Area, newly minted champions Draymond Green, David Lee, and Festus Ezeli didn't waste any time in resuming their hard-earned celebration.
Arguably the most spectacular feature of their party at San Francisco's Infusion Lounge was the enormous bottle of champagne the Dubs passed around.

With the NBA season officially done, the thirst for statistics remains strong. And so, here are some stats about this massive container of liquid courage:
Name: Luc Belaire Rare Brut
Nickname: Nebuchadnezzar
Volume and Weight: 15 liters, 50 pounds
Price: over $10,000 to $12,000
This isn't the first time Nebuchadnezzar has made a post-title-clinching appearance. Dirk Nowitzki and the Dallas Mavericks splurged for a bottle of Belaire after their finals victory over the Miami Heat in 2011.
