Father of 5-Time All-Star Wanted Son to Player for Lakers

The Los Angeles Lakers were linked to many All-Star players in the past few years. The team was able to bring LeBron James and Anthony Davis to LA. However, these two aren’t the only player to earn a spot on the Lakers’ list. Mychal Thompson really wanted his son to join the Los Angeles Lakers.

Well, Klay Thompson made a perfect sense for the Lakers. His famous dad won two titles with the Lakers. He also grew up in LA. Klay had a big chance to become a Laker, but he decided to join the Golden State Warriors.

There’s almost zero chance for Thompson to come to LA. His dad admitted that he had tried to get Klay to be a Laker many years ago.

We can’t really blame Klay for signing with the Golden State. He won three titles and built an excellent relationship with Steph Curry. Prior to the 2019-20 season, LA wasn’t really a powerhouse. The franchise missed the playoffs for five straight years. Most players were more interested in winning titles than joining a struggling hometown team.

One thing stands for sure. Thompson is a Warrior for life. He would be a good fit for the Lakers, but he is a Warrior. LA could have used his elite 3-point shooting and defensive ability. NBA experts say he is one of the best shooting guards in the league. Thompson doesn’t even need a ball in his hands to be this great.

He would be a good fit for the Lakers. He would have won a lot of games with LeBron and Davis. King James does his best work when he’s leading the offense. Thompson is really selfless and that makes him great. Klay knows he is most effective when others can give him the ball. He has adjusted this part of the game and this made him one of the best players in the NBA

The Warriors dynasty seems to be over and some of their superstars will have to think of their future. Will Thompson consider joining his hometown team?
