Klay’s dad, Michael Thompson, was a star at the U of Minnesota back in the day. He is from the Caribbean if I’m not mistaken.
Michael was a no-nonsense guy during his playing days in the NBA. Played on good teams, including the Lakers for most of his career.
I think his attitude has rubbed off on his son. Very similar in my opinion.
Klay is more talented overall (his dad was a power forward) and interestingly enough, when my Wolves were dangling Kevin Love a few years ago, it was first rumored we’d get Klay from the Warriors for him.
We ended up making a deal with the Cavs for Andrew Wiggins and have since mortgaged the future by giving him a max deal.
Now, Jimmy Butler has basically said he won’t re-sign with us after this season, and Karl-Anthony Towns is being wooed to leave as well.
We may end up with only Wiggins, with Butler, Towns, Zach LaVine, Kris Dunn and Lauri Markkanen all gone.
Nice job, Thibs!!
What a savior!
