Thompson hasn’t played for two and a half years. Now he has taken back a leading role and Golden State with him is back in contention for the title
Klay Thompson hasn’t forgotten. The days of therapies, those in which he discovered music “because he helped me to go elsewhere with my mind”, those two very long years in which that basketball so important in his life was no longer his happy place. “I dreamed of a moment like this,” he says after deciding with 32 Game-5 points between Golden State and Dallas and putting the seal that brings the Warriors back to the Finals after 3 years. The last time he played for the title, Klay began his ordeal. Now he is happy again, with that smile that lights up his face that is no longer melancholy and that desire not to be satisfied. “I’m happy to be back at this level, but I’d be even more happy if we completed the mission.”
