15-Year-Old Warriors Fan Who Is Fighting A Rare Cancer, Was Left In Tears By Klay Thompson’s “Stephen Curry Range” and A Special Kobe Bryant Gift

Thompson fulfilled his wish when he surprised Joseph with some Warriors Merchandise. The Wish foundation is known to reach out to stars like Kobe Bryant and LeBron James for taking their time out and helping youngsters fulfill their wishes.

The recently crowned NBA champion with the Golden State Warriors, Klay Thompson, signed a jersey for Joseph. The two took a few jumpers in a gym, and Joseph flaunted his pure jump shot to Klay Thompson. Klay Thompson was quite impressed with the youngsters’ form and felt there was nothing to teach him. Klay surprised Joseph in the most heartfelt way. 

The episode of Klay partaking in the Wish foundation is reminiscent of everything Kobe Bryant did for the ‘Make A Wish’ foundation. Kobe Bryant reached out to over 200 families throughout his time with the foundation. ‘Make A Wish’ America recently posted a video thanking Kobe for his 20 years of service.

Joseph Tagaba later showed Klay a highlight of his own. He made a buzzer-beater in his first game back for his varsity team. Joseph is a great basketball player and even looked like a better shooter than Klay Thompson on the gym court!

Kobe Bryant gets honored for 20 years of service to the Wish foundation

In his two decades with the Los Angeles Lakers, the late NBA icon Kobe Bryant is credited with fulfilling more than 200 wishes from the ‘Make A Wish‘ Foundation.

Kobe won 5 championships while leading the Lakers to a historic run. He made his impact known both on and off the court. Meeting the 2 time NBA Finals MVP was the last wish of so many people in the world.

Bryant said, “Basketball is something that will come and eventually go; the beauty in that is trying to use that time to inspire others and provide some sort of escape for them.”
