“Bro I’m 32 Years Old!”: Klay Thompson Reveals ‘Come to Jesus’ Moment After Dissing Ronnie 2K

Klay Thompson is a man of many talents. However, the one side to Klay that not a lot of us know about is his exploits as a gamer. The ‘human encyclopedia‘ has been known to keep a low profile, but it turns out playing video games is one of the things that excites the Splash Brother, as he revealed on Podcast P with Paul George. In fact, things got so bad that last year Klay had a beef with Ronnie 2K.

While talking to Paul George, Klay Thompson revealed that watching ’06-07 NBA was some of his favorite basketball. The reason behind the same was primarily Kobe Bryant. Discussing the same, Klay continued and said,

“I was a huge gamer too. I played NBA Street Live, 2K. I had to retire from 2K lately though, I get too angry. My brother really put me in retirement. I take that game too serious, ‘He’s not even that good! He shouldn’t be this rating!’ I’m like, “What am I doing bro, its not that serious.””

Klay continued and addressed his beef with Ronnie 2K,

“Even after last year, with my beef with Ronnie 2K about my shooting rating, I had a ‘Come to Jesus’ moment. I was like, “Bro I’m 32 years old. I care about my 2K rating. God please help me… I’m on a hiatus from 2K.”

It’s a good thing Klay stopped his beef when he did. With the season approaching soon, Klay did not have time to focus on petty beef like the one he had with Ronnie. Funny enough, that rating might have helped Klay get to the most number of 3s made by any player in the NBA last season.

Klay Thompson’s beef with Ronnie 2K

Back in October 2022, Klay Thompson found out his 3-point shooting rating in NBA 2K23 was just 88. This clearly angered the 3-point maestro. He put IG stories demanding respect on his name.

In fact, Klay went as far as to call Ronnie 2K a clown when ESPN interviewed him. However, not too soon after, Klay apologized for his remarks.
