The Golden State Warriors are in need of a boost in momentum. In a recent game, Stephen Curry scored an impressive 60 points, but unfortunately, it resulted in a loss, highlighting the current state of the team. Coach Steve Kerr had to make a difficult decision and chose to bench Klay Thompson during the crucial moments of the game. The Warriors were struggling to establish a lead against the struggling Brooklyn Nets and needed fresh players to turn things around. Thompson watched as his teammates took control and secured the victory.
After the game, Anthony Slater of The Athletic asked Thompson about his thoughts on not being on the court when it mattered the most. Thompson expressed his frustration, stating that it was hard for anyone to go from being one of the best players to being sidelined. However, he also credited his young teammates for stepping up and getting the job done.
Despite the challenges he is facing, Thompson has always been a team-oriented player. As a fierce competitor, he has struggled emotionally with his current situation. This is a common occurrence for players as they age or accumulate injuries. Thompson has overcome significant injuries and has been out of the game for an extended period, which may be taking a toll on his body. Although he has been inconsistent this season and his market value may have decreased, he remains one of the greatest shooters in NBA history and a future Hall of Famer. His accomplishments cannot be taken away from him.
