This is Klay Thompson sitting on the bench in an almost empty arena, long after the game ended. He would sit like this with the towel on for an entire 30 minutes as Steph Curry, Draymond Green and Steve Kerr would later come to talk to him.
After a while, a small group of fans that were still in the arena showed support by chanting his name, which brought a smile from Klay.
It’s been 2 and a half years since the last time Thompson played an NBA game, and this long rehab process took a toll on him, and you can clearly see that in some of the latest interviews or videos from Klay.
This is not the same old Klay Thompson. Let me show you and explain everything. What up everybody, my name is Stefan and this is Heat Check. Let’s get into it.
Before we dive into some of his recent situations, let me just remind you that the last time he stepped on the court, Anthony Davis was still on the Pelicans and Westbrook was still in OKC. Since then he played for the Rockets, the Wizards, and is now of course with the Lakers.
That’s how long Klay has been out.
You remember this, getting out on the court and literally trying to play through a torn ACL. Check out the intensity.
Back to the video.
If it looks odd to you that Thompson is having these down moments now, at the end of the recovery road, Draymond Green said in his press conference that his teammate has been having days like that from time to time throughout the entire process. And he did a great job of explaining why that was the case.
Sadness, but also anger has been another emotion that he’s shown publicly, and that was the case after the top 75 players were revealed, and he wasn’t on the list.
See what he’s saying but more importantly the tone with which he talks.
You can literally feel all of the anger and frustration in his voice.
The most interesting thing to me here is this: Remember that jersey with the number 77 that Steph Curry made for him as a joke symbolizing that he’s the 77th best NBA player?
Well Thompson was a good sport and wore the jersey and they all had a laugh about it.
But the thing is, he is still rocking that same jersey in practice, as a motivation and a constant reminder that he was left out. He wants to keep that in his mind and fuel him as he works his way back.
And on the workout videos or in pictures, you may have noticed that he has this colored ball with him all the time. During these tough 2+ years, Thompson tried to find something to keep his spirit up. He got a bit of help through some superstition.
Again, his tone is so telling that you almost feel like you’ve been with him throughout the entire rehab process.
But speaking of that, we’re now just weeks away from seeing Klay back on the court again, and to add him in the mix to an already blazing hot Golden State team both offensively and defensively, Thompson repeatedly voiced his confidence and expectations for a championship.
He straight up said it’s championship or bust for the team. And I’m not sure he’s wrong honestly.
That’s certainly the right mentality to have and it’s infinitely better than to be scared and hesitating on your moves. He comes in ready to fire away and as he mentioned the 2 injuries he suffered were just freak accidents so he doesn’t feel any fear while moving on the court in practice.
Getting back on a team where he won’t even need to do too much right away, I think that it’s the perfect situation for him and he can slowly get into a nice rhythm game by game.
While it may take some time for Thompson to get fully back and doing what we know he can do in a basketball game, I won’t be too surprised if we see a big game from him early on.
We are talking about the second best shooter in NBA history, and a guy who can put up 37 points in a quarter, and score 60 without even dribbling the ball.
And with all the added motivation that he comes back with, eager to win another championship, the league could be in trouble.
This injury definitely had an impact on Klay and changed him a little. But it may have just made him even scarier for the opposition.
As someone who’s experienced not being able to do sports for some time, I fully sympathize with Klay and cannot wait to see him out on the court.
Let me know in the comments how long do you think it takes him to knock down 5 threes in a game? I give him about a week. That’s it for now, subscribe and talk to you in the next one. Peace out.
