NBA 2021-22 marks the 75th season in the League’s history. On the occasion of the 75th anniversary , the NBA has planned many meaningful activities, including the list of 75 outstanding players just announced on October 23. Although this list was created based on votes, it is still controversial due to the absence of some important names, including Klay Thompson.
List of 75 outstanding players on the occasion of the NBA’s 75th season
The Golden State Warriors star did not hesitate to express his disappointment on social media because he was missed by the NBA. “Let’s just say I’m delusional about my ability to play basketball. I definitely think I’ll be in the TOP 75 best players of all time,” this is the content of Klay Thompson’s status on Instagram. .
After that, he continued to explain with the story: “This morning, when I woke up, I was still angry about that crazy list. It’s so bad! I was extremely excited to play football again, but I received it. This is disrespect. To me, winning is everything, but many people probably don’t think so.”
On social networks, many NBA viewers are simultaneously speaking out to demand the rights of Klay Thompson. However, the 31-year-old star recently had an “angry” episode with fans. This situation was recorded by Klay’s own phone camera and broadcast on Instagram livestream.
While walking, he accidentally encountered a Warriors fan. Klay Thompson cursed at this person for not responding to his greeting: “Hello, buddy. Oh, don’t you wave back? Then get lost!”.It can be seen that the Warriors star still seems to have not gotten over being ignored, whether by the NBA or by the inadvertence of a certain fan. Hopefully joy will soon return to Klay Thompson after he returns to play. According to the team’s calculations, it is likely that this player will play on Christmas Day in the encounter with the Phoenix Suns.
Previously, Klay Thompson missed two consecutive NBA seasons because of a ruptured ACL ligament and Achilles heel injury. The past time has certainly not been easy for him after many surgeries and physical therapy. 2 years is more than enough for the star wearing shirt number 11 to nurture the “beast” in him. The more bitter he is at being removed from the list of TOP 75 NBA players, the more determined Klay Thompson will be to bring home the championship in this special season.
Klay Thompson soon returned to training and showed positive signs in fully recovering from a serious injury.
Currently, the Warriors are maintaining a winning streak, a total of 9 unbeaten matches if including the Preseason period. Possessing a relatively stable performance will help coach Steve Kerr’s team play even more sublimely in the upcoming stages, especially when the last piece of the puzzle is completed, which is Klay Thompson.
