Warriors’ Touching Tribute To Klay Thompson On His 31st Birthday
After working his way back into form following the torn ACL he suffered during the 2019 NBA Finals, Klay Thompson received new devastating news when an injury he suffered this past offseason turned out to be an Achilles tear.
But Thompson, who will miss the entire season, is still with the team as often as his rehab allows him to, and he seems to be more than appreciated by every single one on the team
Klay’s a superstar, a mentor, a leader, and when it was his 31st birthday yesterday, the Warriors shared a touching tribute to their injured star, that shows the importance of having him on the team.
“Klay defines who we are. There aren’t that many people out there who have his size, strength and defensive versatility, and then incredible scoring ability.”
“Klay is my dog, I look at my career and it’s kinda hard to separate the things that have happened on the court and not put Klay in there. Our chemistry has taken us to all kinds of crazy heights that I don’t know if we ever expected,”
“I don’t think there’s a way you can mention my name and not mention him. He embodies what it means to be a Warrior.”
"Klay is someone on the team you can't replace."
