Sweetie had been following the team for years and her devotion got a shout out from Coach Steve Kerr this past season.

"Sweetie, if you're watching out there, congrats," he said at a news conference.

Sweetie: "Oh yes. I watch them and fuss at them, too."

ABC7's Carolyn Tyler: "What do you fuss at them about?"

Sweetie: "If they don't do what I want them to do. I know they can't hear me, it's kind of stupid, but I do it anyway."
