Klay Thompson is officially a member of the Heat, further strengthening the Miami roster for the upcoming NBA season.
On Tuesday night, he was officially introduced by his new team; he spoke of his motivation and determination to continue competing at the highest level, and, of course, he couldn’t help but mention his partnership with Giannis Antetokounmpo.
“They have exactly the same impact as Steph Curry during the game; they’re both influential. I thought, ‘Wow, I’m going to play with another MVP-caliber player again,’” commented the veteran guard.
I asked Klay Thompson not only about playing off Giannis soon, but also what makes his style different from Steph Curry’s or that of others: “They
both have a similar impact on the game.” “That’s
