Rookies in the NBA are often expected to complete whatever tasks their veterans have for them. Former Golden State Warriors forward Patrick McCaw learned this the hard way when he forgot to do something Draymond Green asked him to do back when he was a rookie.

Speaking with Mikey Domagala of Inside Buzz, McCaw shared a story he certainly won't forget:

"We had a stop in New Orleans and Draymond asked me to get him some beignets," McCaw said. "I had forgotten the spot, I was already out with some friends and family already. So I kinda ignored it, like I was going to do it when I had the time, but I didn't respond at all. Knowing me, I just slipped up and forgot and never did it. So I'm in my room, chilling, full Warriors jumpsuit on, about to play a game. All I hear is my hotel room unlock and it's Draymond, Andre [Iguodala], JaVale [McGee] and James McAdoo. They got like four big buckets of water and say, 'Move your controller, move your phone, move anything you don't want to get wet.' Before I knew it, they had dumped all four buckets of water on the bed. I was fully clothed, like I was soaked. They didn't have extra blankets. I was pissed; they took all my games and stuff, controller. I never forgot to do something I was supposed to after that again."

A three-time NBA champion, McCaw has had a very interesting career, and that story from his rookie season is one he certainly won't forget.
