Summary

Klay Thompson is one of the best shooters in NBA history. He’s one half of the Splash Brothers, a five-time NBA All-Star, and a four-time NBA champion. He is also an avid boater. But he’s 32 years old…and coming off a torn ACL injury which was immediately followed by a torn Achilles. Couple that with the emergence of younger role players such as Jordan Poole and Andrew Wiggins…and the Warriors’ slow start to this season, and all of a sudden Thompson’s future with the dynasty he’s been a cornerstone for is murkier than ever. Ramona Shelburne joins us to explain how Thompson’s role has been changing…and charts the course for how both he and the Warriors can make it through these troubled waters.
