Klay Thompson is a colorful character. An outdoor person at his core, the Golden State Warriors’ sharpshooter, is anything but boring. Even during his injury rehab, the 3x NBA Champion used all the right ways to keep his fans guessing. Be it through sarcastic comments, the live Q&A on IG, or his choice of activities, Klay is entertainment.
But this time around, he has done it with his choice of accessories. Yes, the golden boy of the Dubs nation recently took to practice and stunned everyone with a new look. And no, this isn’t about a fake Klay that entered the Oracle Arena.
