So Klay Thompson you surpass Jason Richardson and Jamal wils in scoring in NBA history tonight with your 28 points those are two pretty good names oh wow two two great warriors too that’s great I know Jamal was obviously special when he played at the Lakers and Jason uh one

Of the best athletes to ever put on a Warriors uniform and uh that’s just special that’s really cool you’re you’re getting to your floater a little more clay and taking the way Defenders are guarding you everybody’s always going to fight over the top no one’s going under

Anything with you so now you’re getting inside a little more is that something you’ve been thinking about more lately working on a little more uh yeah just uh that little Runner around the free throw line I know I’ve seen Steph shoot it for over a decade now but I got that in my

Bag and uh you got to if you want to be a great scorer in this league you got to have an array of shots and I had a couple of those tonight that felt good when they left my hand clay the last 15 games you’re three-point shooting back

To normal you’re seeing all these now six straight games with 20 or more points is it something just as the season started where you’re out of rhythm and something clicked or is it just all the extra work what would you attribute you’re just back to being Klay

Thompson again I would just stay staying staying consistent in the gym and being myself and not getting uh distracted from uh negative press or comments on the internet just uh locking in on what I love to do doing that’s getting shots up that’s playing basketball my teammates and having fun and then uh

Yeah I mean it’s a long season and I’ve been through so much knowing what to expect and there’s abs and flows and uh just like I appreciate the moments of not so fness I appreciate great great uh streaks as well that’s it love it so how much are you enjoying the playmaking

Part you didn’t have the assist tonight but a lot of games lately you’ve been getting the assist making plays for others two Defenders stay with you you drop it off how much do you enjoy seeing others have success because of all the movement and the attention Defenders are paying

You oh I love it I cherish it I cherish seeing these young rookies BP and Trace make a huge impact on our Squad JK coming into his Zone Moses Moody being a threat Off the Bench um Dario we we uh we’re now establishing a great rotation and a great Rhythm and most importantly

Guys are just stepping up when the numberers called and I love uh making the play for somebody else or just you know drawing to and moving it on that’s what makes us special you know the nice thing is you show the respect for the young guys you call him Trace Jr he just

Renamed himself Trace Jr so apparently you had him at babyt he got the the double digit double double so he graduated yeah but now because of your brother trace the baseball player he’s always going to be Trace junor well I did tell him I’ll call him Trace when he

Has a 2020 game so okay might we got a wow it’s it’s Performance Based exactly what’s Rocco getting for Christmas what’s on the Clay Thomson Sho list I got him a couple new bones I have a couple ropes uh a par day tomorrow and uh that’s that’s all Rocco really wants

And uh he’ll be 12 years old next year so I’ve had him my whole time with the dubs and he’s been such a joy in my life and uh I just love him to death is there any kind of gift exchange with the team white elephant is what’s going on
