Klay Thompson Trolls Warriors Player Development Coach

31-year-old Klay Thompson has spent his entire career with Golden State Warriors since being drafted by them in 2011. Except for his rookie season, the Warriors have qualified for the playoffs in every season he has played. He was an integral part of the Warriors squad that won three championships in 2015, 2017, and 2018. However, Klay missed the last two NBA seasons because of injuries and his comeback date isn’t known yet.

The players play an important role in winning the championships. But there are many individuals involved who contribute to a team’s success. One such individual for Golden State Warriors has been Chris DeMarco. Chris currently serves as a player development coach for the Warriors. However, Klay Thompson recently trolled Chris DeMarco on Instagram.

Klay Thompson trolls Chris DeMarco

DeMarco’s role at the Warriors is to work with the individual skill development of players. Warriors center James Wiseman recently shared a picture of him working with Chris DeMarco on Instagram. Klay Thompson reacted to the post, calling DeMarco slow.

Chris joined the Warriors as a video intern in 2012. During the 2014-15 NBA championship-winning season, Chris was the video scout for the team. His job was to help Steve Kerr and his coaching staff with opponent scouting reports and analysis. He became assistant video coordinator the next season. His current role shows how he has grown and evolved at The Bay.

Former Warriors star Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson had dared DeMarco to dunk in April 2018. However, DeMarco couldn’t make it in the first three attempts. But in the fourth attempt, DeMarco dunked the ball in, and the reactions around were hilarious.
