What helps one through tough times? It is mindset. And being out of the game for such a long time certainly needs a strong will.

Talking on his podcast, Draymond Green talked about the bad days Klay had to encounter and how he dealt with them. ” I’m looking forward to that just about as anyone, if not more,” Green said while talking about Klay’s return.

He adds, “He’s the guy I’ve worked with my entire career, have had the opportunity to win three championships with. Seeing all the good days, the bad days, it was a rollercoaster. Some days he’d walk in and he wouldn’t talk to anyone. Some days he would walk in and he was loud as hell.“
