Klay Thompson's dad sees the Golden State Warriors remaining as title favorites in 2022-23 despite the Western Conference alone set to be stronger next year, and for good reason.
According to Mychal Thompson, the Warriors' have established continuity on the team with the way they drafted and developed their young players. Now they have an All-Star Big 3 featuring Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Klay, as well as a young core that boasts the likes of Jordan Poole, James Wiseman, Jonathan Kuminga, Moses Moody and more.
The two-time NBA champion shared his belief that the young guys are only going to get better from here on out, which gives the Warriors a massive advantage come the new campaign, via NBC Sports.
“They’re going to be very motivated, and they’re going to be, I think, the favorites again because you’ve got them young guys now coming up behind them, ready to take the next step,” Thompson said in an interview with 95.7 The Game.
Of course it won't be easy. As mentioned, the West alone is only going to get tougher, with the Los Angeles Clippers and Denver Nuggets getting healthy, the Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Lakers retooling, and the Phoenix Suns retaining much of their core.
Klay Thompson's father, however, is confident the Warriors have what it takes to win it all again. Besides, they seem motivated to win more rings in a bid to potentially match the incredible record of Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls.
“It’s going to be tough, but the Warriors are definitely capable of winning it again,” Mychal Thompson added.
It's up to the Warriors if they can live up to such high expectations, but hey, it'll be more bizarre to count out a team that has won four titles in the last eight years.
