Days after going off the radar, Klay Thompson has been creating waves in the online world with his recent podcast appearance. The Golden State Warriors star discussed some of the latest hot topics in the hoops community. Subsequently, Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James became the subject of discussion because of his recent blockbuster announcement. Notably, Thompson expressed his absolute awe while reacting to the Akron Hammer‘s latest announcement.

Along with the Warriors’ disappointing second round exit from the 2023 postseason, Thompson himself also produced an underwhelming performance. Moreover, he suffered another loss alongside Stephen Curry in a celebrity golf tournament, a few weeks ago. Since then, he has maintained a low public profile – until recently, when he featured in a podcast alongside Los Angeles Clippers star Paul George.

After losing the Western Conference playoffs to the Denver Nuggets, LeBron James shocked the NBA world during the post-game press conference. Th 38-year-old star expressed the uncertainty of him continuing his career in the league after the loss.

However, months after the shocking press conference, he confirmed his participation in the upcoming season with a surprise grand announcement.

While addressing James’ longevity on the recent episode of Podcast P with Paul George, Klay Thompson expressed his awe. He said, “LeBron’s still here. I’m like it’s crazy.” Notably, James’ Lakers knocked the Warriors out in the Conference semis last season.

He further reminisced about that playoff series, adding, “Knocked us out last year. Oh my God damn, this man is still here.”

With only months into the 2023-24 season, James’ explosive announcement still stands as the highlight of the offseason.
