WHERE WE KEEP ALL QUOTES: https://LetsGoWarriors.com
QUOTES/NOTES/TOPICS:
• Klay Thompson on why he shouted out his mom at the ring ceremony: “Because I love her (while typing on his phone lol).” (me)
• On Jordan Poole’s defense: “he could average a steal per game”. (me)
• Klay Thompson on the rings: “What a beautiful piece of jewelry.” The players did not design or see the ring prior to the ceremony. (me)
• Thompson said he didn't appreciate a report that said he might retire in 2024. He said that’s not his plan. (Mark Haynes)
• Klay is rooting for Jamal Murray. (NBCSBA)
• On dealing with the ramp-up mentally: “I should teach a collegiate course on patience…(having big nights of scoring) that comes with time…hopefully the same formula will lead us to success this year.” (CJ Holmes, NBCSBA, me)
• On how long he anticipates it will be until he’s full strength: “I have complete faith in our training staff.” (me)
• On the ending small lineup with Poole: “It’s an incredible lineup especially offensively…I don’t think there’s many teams who can match our firepower.” (me)
• On if he’s seen the Draymond segment on TNT: “The only film I’ve seen lately is Smile and it wasn’t that scary. It was kind of original…I’m really excited for the new Avatar…the way of water, that’s my lifestyle.” (me)
• On Donte DiVincenzo: “not afraid to do the dirty work…he’s got a championship ring so he knows what sacrifices you have to make.” (me)
• On if his shooting style has changed since he’s been back: “I don’t seem as rushed as I was last year.” (me)
• On where his ring is now: “It is in a safe in a secret location…I am like Batman being able to take the boat (answering Kerith’s follow-up if the ring is in a Batcave).” (me)
• On the youngsters and how DubNation should be grateful: “We’re grooming the next generation in front of their eyes…Steph, Dray and Andre and I, we can’t play forever…our system plays to everybody’s strengths…a future that is growing right in front of our eyes. What a time to be a fan of the Golden State Warriors…our front office has done an incredible job…they’re all unique in the way they play…here early, stay late.” (me)
• Thompson ends his media session with a statement, unsolicited: “There's a report out there — I have no intention of retiring in 2024. If you write some dumb s--t like that, be held accountable. That's crazy. Just bc I didn't play 5on5 doesn't mean I'm gonna retire. That is absurd.” (Monte Poole)
