PATRICK McCaw has added the G League title to his impressive resume, proving his championship pedigree once more.
Although the 6-foot-7 wing, 27, has been out of the NBA since 2021, he had one of the most impressive title runs in league history – winning three straight chips between 2016-2019.

Not many may remember that McCaw started his NBA career in the San Francisco Bay Area and was part of the fabled Golden State Warriors dynasty.
The Milwaukee Bucks initially picked the ex-University of Nevada, Las Vegas standout with the No. 38 overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft.
But that same night, the Bucks traded the Missouri native to Golden State for cash considerations.
In his rookie year, Warriors stars made sure McCaw quickly learned about the franchise’s winning culture that wouldn’t tolerate mistakes – even when facing the most unimportant tasks.
While on a road trip, Draymond Green asked the NBA freshman to get him some beignets during a stop in New Orleans.
But Green never got his pastries as McCaw had forgotten about the request – so he and other Warriors veterans barged into the rookie’s room and poured four buckets of water on him.
“I was fully clothed, like I was soaked,” the guard recalled.
“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.”
And even though he played for the Warriors in the Kevin Durant era, he started in 33 games for them – three of which came in the 2017 postseason.
In two seasons with Golden State, McCaw averaged 3.8 points. 1.6 rebounds, and 1.4 assists in the regular season while clocking 16.9 minutes per game in 199 appearances.
But the guard then refused to return for another season despite a rough sophomore year as he sought an opportunity to play a bigger role on another team.
McCaw sat out a third of the 2018-19 campaign before signing with the Cleveland Cavaliers in December on a non-guaranteed two-year, $6million deal – only to find himself waived about a week later.
He finished the season with the Toronto Raptors – who went on to win the championship that year.
Toronto’s historic NBA title made McCaw the first player since the three-peat Los Angeles Lakers – featuring Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal – to win three consecutive championships.
But his already supplemental role only diminished over the next two seasons with the Raptors eventually waiving the guard in April 2021 – and he hasn’t played in the NBA since then.
To keep himself hooping, McCaw has gone to the FIBA AmeriCup with Team USA and been playing for the Delaware Blue Coats in the G League since February 2022.
The guard typically comes off the bench for the Blue Coats, an ominous sign for his NBA comeback quest.
He still spent 22.2 minutes per game on the court and averaged 5.8 points, 2.0 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 1.4 steals in 2022-23.
And he got to host another trophy this year having helped Delaware claim its first-ever championship – proving he is a player that just keeps on winning.
