"Klay Thompson used his first NBA paycheck of $35K to buy a pool table!": Warriors star explains hilarious reason behind his first ever purchase with NBA salary

NBA YouTuber explains how Warriors star Klay Thompson spent his NBA money for the first time after being drafted by Golden State

Klay Thompson is a man of strange interests, we won’t lie to you on that one.

This is the man who decides to look like Captain Haddock from Tintin during every NBA game. He arrives at every home game and practices in a boat, and overall he is a man of peculiar tastes.

With this in mind, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that his purchases have been known to be a bit off-beat, to say the least. And let’s just say, his first-ever purchase, after procuring an NBA contract didn’t stray much from those lines, either.

Don’t believe us? Well then, take a look at the YouTube clip below.
