Klay Thompson Speaks on Joining Miami Heat With Giannis Antetokounmpo
Klay Thompson shared his thoughts about joining the same Miami Heat team as superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Miami Heat introduced Klay Thompson to their roster during an introductory press conference on Tuesday. After several seasons with the Dallas Mavericks, Thompson negotiated a contract buyout. The four-time champion cleared waivers and signed a two-year deal with the Heat, joining fellow All-Stars Bam Adebayo and Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Thompson expressed his excitement about playing with Antetokounmpo, praising his interior scoring ability and improved jump shot. Thompson stated that Antetokounmpo will make other players, including himself, work harder and be more focused on their craft. Thompson's career has primarily been with the Golden State Warriors, who built a dynasty featuring him, Stephen Curry, and Draymond Green.
With Thompson joining the Heat, some believe the team will become a contender in the Eastern Conference, facing off against powerhouse teams like the New York Knicks and the 76ers. The Miami Heat will kick off their regular season on Wednesday, October 21, against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
