It was a gorgeous glassy day on the lake, so I did take the boat in today. In an interview on Monday with 95.7’s The Game, Thompson explained his decision to switch up his headwear by saying, “It’s funny because I lost my championship hat in the wind.” “I oppose littering in any way. Unfortunately, she’s now one with the ocean, even though I tried to find her. I’m wearing the captain’s hat for that reason.
When the former Santa Margarita Catholic High School student celebrated with his buddies, he wore a San Francisco captain’s cap that went well with his black jeans and white T-shirt outfit. Sunglasses, a gold watch, and necklaces completed the ensemble.
In his radio interview, he added, “To be honest, I think it was destiny because it fits the outfit perfectly.” It was my fallback choice. Man, I’m happy to be here. I’m acting my part. For today, I’m the sea captain.
The shooting guard kept posting pictures from the “crazy” procession route in the City by the Bay, one of which showed supporters yelling his name from behind him.
