The San Francisco 49ers finished their second day of organized team activities on Tuesday, and a contingent of players made the 32-mile trek from Levi's Stadium (or next door to it) to Oracle Arena. Defensive backs Ahkello Witherspoon, Adrian Colbert, and Chanceller James headed to Oakland to watch the home-team Golden State Warriors take on the Houston Rockets in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals.
Gianna Suter-Franco of 95.7 The Game spotted the trio for a quick interview. While Witherspoon rocked a yellow Warriors hat, Colbert was at the game representing his quarterback and wearing a Jimmy Garoppolo jersey.
"Jimmy G, we out here, man," Colbert said. "We locker mates. That's my dawg. I support him 100-percent. He's going to be the greatest quarterback that ever played. That's all I got to say."
While James said he is a Warriors fan, Colbert's allegiance lies elsewhere, and he picked the Rockets to win Tuesday night's game.
"Go Cavs, always" he declared. "Go Cavs."
Witherspoon was asked who his favorite Warrior player is and he named Stephen Curry while James named Draymond Green.
"Draymond is the heart and soul of this team," James said. "Without Draymond, we aren't winning no games."

Witherspoon is actually a Sacramento native, which prompted reporters to asked him if he is a Kings fan and why he was wearing a Warriors hat after Tuesday's practice.
"Well, when you spend $400 on a ticket, you can do what you want," he responded.
