Klay Thompson can't wait to play the Lakers.
Klay Thompson of the Golden State Warriors looks on during the third quarter in Game 7 of the Western Conference first-round playoffs against the Sacramento Kings at Golden 1 Center on April 30, 2023, in Sacramento, Calif.
“We’re all excited to play the Lakers,” Thompson said. “I mean, it’s a legendary franchise. Warriors-Lakers, it’s been a long time since they’ve seen each other in the playoffs.” “I know I’m personally excited to play in front of my father, my mother, some of my best friends and go down to SoCal after our homestand. It’s just a dream come true, I’ve waited for this for 12 years.”
Thompson was born in Los Angeles and was a longtime Lakers fan as his dad, Mychal Thompson, played for that franchise from 1987 to 1991, winning two championships along the way. Mychal Thompson has become a franchise fixture, working as the color analyst for the team’s radio broadcasts since 2003.“I really don’t know,” Thompson said. “I’d probably guess his employer.”
