Q&A: Klay Thompson talks 2022-23 expectations, Draymond Green ... (NBA.com)

Klay Thompson feels ready to return to All-Star level. Thompson also breaks his silence on Draymond Green-Jordan Poole drama & more.

I got to tour the Coliseum and the Sistine Chapel. I was so grateful he had the opportunity to feel what a playoff series was like. As a free diver, I was very impressed with myself so I gave myself a pat on the back. I’m just going to do what I got to do to be the best I can be every day. I dove all the way to the sea floor at 40 feet and had a bottom time of about 30 seconds. I expect to be great with all the training I did and all the experience I gained from last year. I have to give the Padres credit. Embrace being young, being in the NBA and being on a great team. He just wants to be a great NBA player that goes down as one of the greatest Warriors to play. I was in the weight room a lot. Kerr projected Thompson “to be a great two-way player” that entails “guarding one of the opponent’s best wings and being one of the great shooters on Earth.” But I thought I was peaking at the right time.

Klay Thompson gets brutally honest on Warriors' potential break-up (ClutchPoints)

Klay Thompson is well aware of the questions about the Warriors' future, especially with him and Draymond Green up for extension talks.

However, he doesn’t want to think of that right now as they focus on a more important task: defending their title. Considering the massive luxury tax bill the Dubs are going to pay if they keep the two stars, many believe that team would be forced to let go of one and break up their core. He then pointed out that Green has a player option next year,

NBA Star Klay Thompson Calls NBA 2K's Marketing Guy A 'Clown' (Kotaku)

Golden State Warriors guard—and I'll get this out of the way now, my favourite player currently in the NBA—Klay Thompson was watching ESPN the other day, ...

For the NBA that’s great news, for ESPN it’s a commercial necessity and for the NBA 2K series it’s one of the biggest reasons it’s such a grind to be around. As Singh explains in the ESPN segment yesterday, that’s a good rating, only skewed because Thompson’s own teammate Steph Curry has broken the three-point game so historically that 2K’s ratings had to move like this to accommodate. The video game, the broadcasters and the league itself are so entwined that it’s hard seeing the points at which they separate. But I also think with his latest comments, about ESPN interviewing “a promoter”, he’s onto something. In a segment on NBA Today, the hosts were interviewing a man who is legally known as Ronnie Singh. The man has almost one million followers on Instagram, and can be seen at all the fanciest parties for brands, networks and players.

Klay Thompson has two years left on his current Warriors contract and he's confident he'll earn another payday.

"I’m just going to do what I got to do to be the best I can be every day," Thompson told Medina. To have a chance to get five [titles] with Draymond, Steph and Andre [Iguodala] is a crazy, crazy thing to contextualize. I’m not worried about an extension in the meantime because I know it’ll happen if I just do my job and I just be myself." Whether it is or it isn’t, we have to think about what we can do to repeat because that itself is such a hard task and such a great opportunity. I’m so freaking excited to get this season going."
