Fans nowadays are getting more creative when it comes to having memorabilia signed by their favorite athletes.

Golden State Warriors super-fan Ronnie Reyes raised that bar up a notch, when he asked Klay Thompson to sign a toaster last March.

The Filipino-American’s gesture quickly moved from an oddity to “lucky charm” of some sort, as  the Dubs went on a 31-2 rampage since then, en route to another NBA championship.

Seems like the dead-eye shooter hasn’t forgotten about Reyes, as he recently invited the “Toaster Guy” to attend the Warriors’ championship parade.

“Still can’t believe it. @KlayThompson legit invited me to the parade last night. All because of a toaster,” Reyes confirmed on Twitter, along with the hashtag #DubNation.

As expected, Reyes promised to bring along his trusty toaster in Oakland on Thursday (Friday in Manila). Khristian Ibarrola /ra
