  • I'm Klay Thompson of the World Champion Golden State Warriors.

  • Here with SLAM Magazine on this beautiful day in the Bay.

  • Can't get much better, no complaints.

  • It's underrated.

  • I've seen it firsthand.

  • He strikes the ball like no basketball player I've ever seen before.

  • So I'm very jealous about it.

  • It's the only thing I really hate on him for.

  • He's just leaps and bounds better than me.

  • Uh, Nick Swag's fashion is

  • I mean, it's a little overrated.

  • He does have his nice fits, but I've seen a couple outfits in rotation

  • So I'm gonna go overrated.

  • Sorry Swag.

  • It's underrated, just because it's been working.

  • We got a championship out of it, and it's got us on the right trajectory.

  • So KD's got the moves.

  • He's got the footwork.

  • Klay Thompson.

  • Well, depending on what you're talking about.

  • The name itself is underrated, because it's spelled with a K.

  • And you don't see a lot of Klay's with a K.

  • So I'm gonna say underrated.

  • I like watching Giannis Antetokounmpo.

  • I don't think there's been very many players like him.

  • His size and his ability to play above the rim.

  • He's like a seven-foot guard.

  • It's really not fair at times.

  • I like watching Joel Embiid because they always say

  • the big man, the back to the basket game is a dinosaur.

  • But I think he's bringing it back.

  • He's just got incredible skills for how big he is.

  • There's great big men now in the NBA.

  • DeMarcus

  • Karl Towns

  • Porzingis

  • Anthony Davis.

  • Yeah, those guys are probably who I like to watch the most.

  • Just because they're young and they're hungry.

  • The other guys I've been playing against so long.

  • I watch them not for more entertainment, but for more study, and how to guard them, because

  • I know I'll be facing them down the road.

  • Guys like James Harden

  • or Russell Westbrook.

  • Dame Lillard.

  • They do do amazing things.

  • I watch them to see what I can pick from their game, how I can hopefully disrupt it if I face them.

  • Portland, they got that explosive backcourt.

  • Obviously the Rockets.

  • Can never count out the Spurs. Even without Kawhi, they're still a machine.

  • The Thunder have given us problems this year.

  • They got great talent.

  • Minnesota's young.

  • They got a great player in Jimmy Butler.

  • And Karl Towns.

  • And Andrew Wiggins.

  • That three-headed monster.

  • For us, we have to have appropriate fear.

  • We can't overlook these teams.

  • They're hungry just like us.

  • Just because we won a couple championships, we're not satisfied.

  • We're far from satisfied.

  • We want this thing to keep going for the rest of our careers.

I'm Klay Thompson of the World Champion Golden State Warriors.
