Oddly enough, this wasn’t the first time we watched Warriors’ part owner Joe Lacob profess his…admiration(?) for one of the NBA’s best scorers.
Following last year’s incredible playoff performance against the Oklahoma City Thunder where Thompson scored 41 points and brought the Dub’s back from seemingly imminent playoff expulsion, Lacob reacted rather unusually in the tunnel leading to the visiting locker room.
Joe Lacob decided to present his All-Star guard with a yellow rose following his 60-point night agains the visiting Indiana Pacers. Klay happily accepts, laughing and jabbing his team owner about not being present when he set the NBA record for points in a quarter with 37 in the second agains the Kings two season ago.
