Warriors news: Jonathan Kuminga chooses between Klay Thompson’s boat or Stephen Curry’s golf

Welcome to the life of Golden State Warriors rookie Jonathan Kuminga, who is getting to know Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson.

Imagine being 18 years old, and the first job you get involves this situation: Your co-workers are rich, talented superstars. Welcome to the life of Golden State Warriors rookie Jonathan Kuminga. The Dubs selected the teenager as their No. 7 pick in this year's NBA draft. His new teammates are superstars Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, who are uber-popular for more than just basketball.

Part of veteran duties on NBA rosters involves teaching youngsters how to be professionals, showing them the ropes. Curry and Thompson are both in their 30s and live two different lifestyles. One of the Warriors could be viewed as more spontaneous, while the other is more conservative. When it comes to bonding with teammates, both stars approach it differently.

On an episode of the Warriors program Dubs Talk, Kuminga was hit with a hypothetical question: If Thompson asked him to come to his boat, and Curry wanted him to go on a golfing trip that same day, what would he choose? Kuminga answered:

Sorry, Steph, I'd go with Klay.

Would you rather go boating with Klay or golfing with Steph?? Kuminga casts his vote 🤣

It's a tricky question for a rookie with two teammates as cool as Curry and Thompson, but he had to choose one. Curry probably is disappointed in Kuminga's response. After all, he did say sorry before giving his answer as a new member of the Warriors.

Golfing and boating are probably in the 18-year-old's near future. The Warriors are bonding and getting to know each other before the season gets going.

The excitement of becoming an NBA player has to be mind-blowing when a late-teenager or 20-year-old is drafted to a team with high expectations and great veterans. Bonding and mentoring could be the key to another NBA championship, and if there's one group of guys that understand that, it's the Warriors. Klay Thompson returning to the lineup this upcoming season gives Golden State the championship nucleus which makes bigger aspirations possible.
