"That's the best dunk I've ever had in-game," said Toscano Anderson after the game on Dec. 3. "I mean, on a 7-footer, in the NBA. It's the perfect Sunday for me. It’s a helluva picture. I think I’m gonna hang it at my mom’s house." 

The video from Anthony Slater was quote-tweeted by McGee who said, "Congrats young fella ill sign it for you!"

In exchange, McGee promised to sign the picture for him when the two teams next met. 

So when the Warriors and Suns faced each other again on Christmas Day, McGee stayed true to his word and signed a copy of the photo for Toscano-Anderson, jokingly adding in an expletive that Toscano-Anderson edited out with emojis. 

The Warriors forward tweeted out that McGee was an honorable man that sticks to his word, and wished him a Merry Christmas. 

McGee quote-tweeted his reply: "Man of my word! All Love young fella!"

The Warriors won the Christmas Day battle but the two teams are scheduled to face each other one more time during the regular season on March 30. Golden State leads the season series, 2-1.
