Klay Thompson Knocks Down a Fan as Wild Scenes Emerge on the Internet From Warriors’ Championship Parade
After a grueling few years, the Golden State Warriors finally lifted the Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy again. While people believed the Warriors’ championship era was over, the team came through with a strong roster and game. Interestingly, Klay Thompson also returned to the court after a two-year hiatus.
Thompson was injured for two seasons, which ultimately hampered the team’s performance. Naturally, after a long wait, the players and fans were equally delighted after the win. The parade, like their win, was a celebration for everyone. What caught everyone’s eye, however, was one clip featuring Klay Thompson and a tripped-over fan.

Despite all the negativity and challenges the team faced, they remained hopeful of winning the title. Not even making it to the playoffs for two seasons, the Warriors underwent some roster changes before the 2021-22 season.
In the end, Thompson, Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, and Andre Iguodala won another title together. Curry even bagged his first Finals MVP award.
