Ex-Cavs center Varejao could be Golden State’s ‘inside man’ (AFP)

Brazilian center Anderson Varejao, the first man to play for both NBA Finals teams in the same season, could give Golden State an inside scoop on his former Cleveland teammates. The 33-year-old South American, who spent 11 1/2 seasons with the Cavaliers before joining Golden State in February, might also wind up with a championship ring no matter which club wins the best-of-seven championship series that begins Thursday. "We all know how important Cleveland is for me and what Cleveland did for me," Varejao said.
