Klay Thompson’s stint in Brooklyn, New York nailed him a peculiar interview with a New York local Fox News station, looking for a man-on-the-street interview with locals to address scaffolding structures.

Prior to this season, tennis great Roger Federer issued a ping-pong challenge to Golden State Warriors shooting guard Klay Thompson after the latter inquired about the 19-time Grand Slam champion’s table tennis game.

Golden State Warriors All-Star guard Klay Thompson over the last couple of years has become a growingly popular player in China.

Klay Thompson’s start to the season has seen him dialed in from all area codes, already showing signs of being in mid-season shape shooting the ball and defending with a new-found vigor — most recently admitting to aiming at averaging a block per game.

Klay Thompson wasn’t satisfied with the officiating during a closely-contested battle with the streaking Boston Celtics, that ended in a 92-88 loss for the Golden State Warriors.

Since the addition of Kevin Durant to their fold last year, it has been a normal occurrence seeing the Golden State Warriors in high scoring games, with their “Big 4” leading the way for them.

Klay Thompson has no shame in admitting he watches his own games.

The transformation of today’s big men in the NBA is in full swing, with many of the prominent stars in the game, extending their game to the three-point line and some beyond. The likes of Karl-Anthony Towns, Nikola Jokic, Kristaps Porzingis, and others have become genuine threats beyond the arc, but no one has seen […]

Not many people would consider Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson as an artist in the conventional sense.

Golden State Warriors sharpshooter Klay Thompson often goes as the forgotten man in the team’s star-studded lineup. However, he took his brand worldwide this summer during a trip to China.

After a slow start to the season, the Golden State Warriors have regained their form, as they are back to tearing opponents apart on a regular basis.

He’s now hoping to show his prowess […]

Zaza Pachulia is the gift that just keeps on giving for the Golden State Warriors.

Unlike his rough patch during this year’s NBA Finals, Klay Thompson has gotten off to a scorching start this season, one that could be perhaps his best season yet, even after the surprise on a career-high 22.3 points per game despite the addition of star forward Kevin Durant during the 2016 offseason. Even head coach […]

Klay Thompson couldn’t contain his emotion after swatting a LaMarcus Aldridge dunk in the middle of the fourth quarter of the Golden State Warriors 112-92 comeback win over the San Antonio Spurs.

Klay Thompson can get up, though we don’t really see much of the shooting guard elevating for a dunk as he prefers to deal damage to opponents from his comfort zone: the 3-point area.

It comes with little doubt that the Golden State Warriors are the toast of the NBA today.
