Mychal Thompson, the father of Warriors’ star Klay Thompson, talks about Klay and his future post-retirement from the NBA

The NBA has players who all have come from different backgrounds and have different personalities. The intersection of all these different personalities is what makes things interesting off the court. The Golden State Warriors are no different. For example, just take their three superstars. Draymond Green is the guy who doesn’t filter his emotions at all. Stephen Curry is the guy who’s joking around off the court. Klay Thompson is the laid-back, chill guy.
