Champagnie is a treasure man (via @KellyIko):
“Keldon Johnson and Julian Champagnie, two of the loudest, most exuberant voices all year, sat in their respective seats, hands resting against their heads while staring into their phones. Others shuffled around, some discussing plans to get back in the gym, some gathering their belongings in silence.
De'Aaron Fox, sitting by himself with a towel draped over his shoulders, was greeted by Lindy Waters III, who placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. Then, another staff member did the same.
Champagnie, who had been in the process of removing his uniform, rose from his stall to offer words of encouragement to the veteran guard. The sharpshooter's uplifting spirit was called on a few moments later as Stephon Castle, with one locker separating them, stood motionless. Champagnie locked eyes with his teammate.
‘I just wanna see you smile, man,’ Champagnie said. ‘That's it.’”
