The Golden State Warriors empire of the past decade is truly among the teams possessing the most terrible power in NBA history. With countless stars and three championship trophies, it is not too difficult to understand that the popularity of the representative on the Gulf Coast is so high. However, for Klay Thompson, not everyone calls themselves a Warriors fan. are also considered the same by him.
Klay Thompson shows his attitude towards movement fans
It all started with a seemingly insignificant incident. A group of Warriors fans posted criticism about striker Nemanja Bjelica about his playing ability not reaching the collective standards. Evaluating a player’s performance is something “as old as the world” in sports, but that doesn’t sit well with Klay Thompson.
Talking to journalist Mark Haynes from Clutchpoints.com , the star who reached the top of the NBA three times appeared very frustrated. Klay Thompson confided: “My God, no player is accepted by the fans at all. Those guys are really just a bunch of trendsetters. Real fans are never like that.”
Klay Thompson is not happy when fans criticize his teammates
“Here I’m talking about people who came and loved this team before the championships were brought back to the traditional room. They watched for many years the team couldn’t win. Those crazy fans This movement only comes when this group has success and is absent during difficult days. They are people who do not need to be remembered and do not deserve to represent the word Warriors,” Klay Thompson continued.
However, it’s funny that just one day later, Klay Thompson made completely different comments on the same topic. Surfing the Pacific waves on his yacht, the marksman born in 1990 opened an Instagram livestream with comments related to fans of the movement. Now he thinks that they are actually not as bad as people think.
“Actually, having a fan movement is also a good thing. It means you have made people fall in love with your gameplay. I’m really sorry if I hurt anyone out there. Actually, I also There is no bad intention at all. My teammates and I always welcome everyone to the same Warriors home all over the world.”
It is unclear whether Klay Thompson was “corrected” by head coach Steve Kerr after his statements in the press, but it is clear that his initial actions had no bad intentions. It’s simply the instinct of a player wanting to protect his teammates when they encounter unnecessary criticism. Because the fan movement has been a part of basketball in particular and sports in general.
