Harrison Barnes’ Wedding Providing Offseason Entertainment
By Isaac Harris
Dallas Mavericks’ forward, Harrison Barnes, got married on Saturday, but it didn’t take place without providing some entertainment for the offseason.
This past weekend, in Rhode Island, Harrison Barnes and his lovely fiancée, Brittany Johnson, got married where numerous past teammates, friends and coaches were in attendance.
Here are a couple of fun things that fans saw on social media from afar surrounding the wedding ceremony.
1.) Rick “Mozart” Carlisle
Mavericks’ Head Coach, Rick Carlisle, put his piano skills to the test as he entertained guests at the reception.
2.) Groomsman Kyrie
Arguably the biggest storyline of the insane of an offseason in the NBA is the trade request of Kyrie Irving out of Cleveland. As the Cavaliers probe the market for their All-Star point guard, Irving found himself walking down the aisle as a groomsman in Barnes’ wedding.
Here is a full picture of the rest of the groomsman from the Instagram page of NBA player, Justin Holiday.
3.) Steph Curry’s LeBron Dance
Outside of Dallas, most NBA fans could care less what takes place at the wedding of Barnes and Johnson. But it wasn’t until the two-time MVP in Stephen Curry decided to do a particular dance that shook up the Twitter world.

When you originally see the video of Curry dancing and Kyrie Irving hyped alongside of him, you might not think anything of it. But then you remember a certain workout video that LeBron James posted back on June 15th…

As World Wide Wob likes to call it, the #PettyWarz went to another level with this move from Curry. But it obviously wasn’t just the fact that Curry was making fun of James’ video, but that Kyrie Irving was going right along with it just as hyped as Curry.
Now, the national media has taken Irving’s inclusion in the dance and ran with it in their own storylines.
Other notable attendees of the wedding included Steve Kerr, Andrew Bogut, Dorian Finney-Smith, Wesley Matthews, Dwight Powell, Kendall Marshall, Ronnie2K from 2K Sports (who has a close, personal relationship with Barnes), and others.
