PHOTO: Broncos' T.J. Ward gets 'Golden State Warrior' tattoo

Faced with closing out their Western Conference semifinal series in the unfriendly confines of The Grindhouse, the Golden State Warriors are getting plenty of support back home.

Shortly before tip off for Game 6 against the Memphis Grizzlies, the Warriors got a serious show of support from one of the Bay Area's most notable football exports. Denver Broncos safety T.J. Ward revealed some brand new ink Friday, revealing himself to be a "Golden State Warrior."

Not to confuse, Ward was sure to hashtag #dubnation so as to be clear it's not just a self-classification but a shout out to the league's best regular season team.

Ward was born in San Francisco and played his high school ball in Concord, both just a quick jaunt to Oakland.

Luckily for Ward, the Denver Nuggets aren't likely to be back in the playoffs any time in the near future, so he won't run into the unenviable position of rooting against his professional home's local squad.
