Golden State Warriors star Klay Thompson is a gift that keeps on giving.

While he has made headlines recently for his awesome boat rides that he usually streams live on Instagram alongside some awesome commentary, he can also get serious and serve some inspiring words to his fans. Such was the case for TikTok user kai.teevee, who was able to talk to Klay when the Warriors vet visited the Chipotle he's working at.

As Thompson was waiting for his order, Kai got to ask him what advice he can give to aspiring entrepreneurs and athletes. Thompson thoughtfully answered in what was a  really cool moment for the interviewer

“Just be yourself. Be patient because it's not a sprint, it's a marathon,” the Warriors guard shared. “Be original, and just stick to your core values. Don't measure your success based off what other people do. Everyone is at their own pace. It's not about the material thing, it's about inner peace and doing something you're passionate about.”

All peak Klay jokes aside, it's certainly nice for Thompson to  provide some encouraging words for his fans. It also goes to show that he is in a good place mentally as he prepares for his return to the Warriors in 2021-22.

Warriors fans will also feel Klay Thompson's advice on being patient and having that “marathon” mentality. After all, that is exactly what he needs as he recovers from the injuries he suffered from the past two seasons.

Never change, Klay!
