Thompson fulfilled his wish when he surprised Joseph with some Warriors Merchandise. The Wish foundation is known to reach out to stars like Kobe Bryant and LeBron James for taking their time out and helping youngsters fulfill their wishes.

The recently crowned NBA champion with the Golden State Warriors, Klay Thompson, signed a jersey for Joseph. The two took a few jumpers in a gym, and Joseph flaunted his pure jump shot to Klay Thompson. Klay Thompson was quite impressed with the youngsters’ form and felt there was nothing to teach him. Klay surprised Joseph in the most heartfelt way. 

The episode of Klay partaking in the Wish foundation is reminiscent of everything Kobe Bryant did for the ‘Make A Wish’ foundation. Kobe Bryant reached out to over 200 families throughout his time with the foundation. ‘Make A Wish’ America recently posted a video thanking Kobe for his 20 years of service.

Keller Patti is another story that ‘Make A Wish’ covered. His wish came true in 2011 when he met his idol, Kobe Bryant. Later, he was invited back to Staples Center to watch another game and relive the moment that changed his life.
