It's time for more wholesome Klay Thompson content.
It's no secret that Thompson is considered one of the most loyal guys in the NBA. He has previously said he wants to play with the Golden State Warriors forever. So it's no surprise that he's also very loyal to his friends. So much so that he included his best friend in his latest signature kicks.
Yep, we're talking about Thompson's bulldog Rocco! Were you thinking of someone else?
According to ESPN reporter Nick DePaula, Thompson's latest Anta KT6 release in China honors Rocco with a series of removable patches.

If that's not real love, then nothing is.
Clearly, Thompson didn't do it just for kicks (get it?). He and Rocco are true BFFs. They're as inseparable as peanut butter and jelly. Or Stephen Curry and his butt pad.
Rocco has been with Thompson during the important moments in his NBA career, including when he signed his new Warriors contract in July 2019.
The sweet-shooting Thompson is aching to get back on the floor and help the Warriors become contenders again. He continues to recuperate from his Achilles injury and has made tremendous strides.
Warriors coach Steve Kerr didn't give a definitive answer last week when asked about Thompson's impending return, but he did say it's going to be a deeply emotional one (via NBC Sports).
“I literally think about the first game back at Chase for Klay Thompson, and the ovation that guy is gonna get. It's gonna be so emotional for everybody. I can't wait for that night because nobody deserves that more than Klay.”
Plus, with his main man Rocco by his side, things can't get worse for Klay Thompson.
