You often hear players say that they get along with all their teammates, but in this case it was really true. Each person was so unique, and the overall vibe was so good, that we just kind of got to enjoy being around each other. You had Klay Thompson, who really puts the ‘free’ in free spirit. Laid-back doesn’t even begin to describe him. He’s just really about never causing any problems, always going along, always hanging out with the team. He’s one of the easiest guys in the world to be around. His dad, Mychal Thompson, played for the Lakers alongside Magic, Kareem, and James Worthy, and you can tell that Klay came form that good home, that well-taken-care-of background. His dad is from the Bahamas, which is a very laid-back place, and you can see that trickle down to Klay. He likes to chill, crack jokes, hang out with the fellas. But like every professional athlete, he has another side to him. I watched from the sidelines the game in which he scored 37 points in a quarter against Sacramento. Even though it was a statistical anomaly and an all-time record, it was in a certain way what you expect from Klay.
