The Niners quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo caught the spotlight recently after he made an appearance in Monday’s NBA game between the Golden State Warriors and San Antonio Spurs. Being snapped in an awkward moment surrounded by the cheerleaders, fans were curious to know more about the incident. However, head coach Kyle Shanahan reacted least surprisingly and listed similar events in the past.

On Monday, the Warriors sealed a thumping 132-95 win against the Spurs in the vicinity of a Niners squad. Along with the quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, his teammates George Kittle, Kyle Juszczyk, and Christian McCaffrey were also present for the evening’s game.

Garoppolo tuned out to be the center of attraction when a group of Warriors cheerleaders mobbed the passer. They specifically approached him, giving handshakes with a casual ‘Hello’.

What’s more surprising was that they disregarded his other teammates. They acted as if Garoppolo was the only celebrity present on the courtside. It took no time for this snippet to go viral.

In fact, it reached the right eyes with Niners head coach Kyle Shanahan reacting to this situation. While speaking on KNBR this week, Shanahan looked least surprised and mentioned that he had witnessed similar incidents happening with Garoppolo in the past. “It’s a normal thing. I’ve been at fundraisers with him, and it’s a tough life he’s got to live,” Shanahan said with a laugh.

“I’ve seen it before though so it doesn’t surprise me,” he added. Being photogenic gives him an additional advantage to attract a wide range of female fan followers. Something was evident on Monday when the cheerleaders specially greeted him. Just like his popularity in the Bay area, Garoppolo’s fortune shined this season.
