The Golden State Warriors [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/golden-state-warriors/] may have ended up at the bottom of the board this season, but their team continues to impress fans with their off-the-court actions as well. Klay Thompson in particular has played an important role in helping the Warriors win games and hearts, and it was on Monday that Thompson let his penchant for the latter take over by fulfilling the wish of a dying fan. Before being completely dismantled, the Warriors had 5 years filled with glory. This created a ripple effect that landed them with an incredible fan base. However, this year was the exact opposite of that, and the Warriors didn’t even make it to the Playoffs. Even Klay Thompson didn’t play the entire season. The star shooting guard tore his ACL during Game 6 of last year’s NBA Finals against the Toronto Raptors [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/toronto-raptors/]. The injury was quite serious and benched Klay for good. However, neither did this stop Klay from returning nor did it stop his fans from supporting him. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/usp-nba_-finals-toronto-raptors-at-golden-state-wa-6.jpg] KLAY THOMPSON IS A STAR OFF THE COURT AS WELL A few days ago, Frank Somerville of KTVU posted a request on his Facebook page. He talked about a woman named Debbie Wright, who was an avid Warriors fan; however, to everyone’s dismay, it was revealed that she only had a few weeks to live, and it was her husband who reached out to him for help. Her husband Randall Wright wanted to make her last wish come true, which was to meet her favorite Warrior, Klay Thompson. “I ask for nothing else … no gifts, money, or anything … just for the possibility of a visit from Mr. Thompson,” the message [https://www.facebook.com/FrankSomervilleKTVU/posts/3672553102807990] said to Somerville. Little did we know that Thompson would come through and do his part for the lady. Just a few days after he put this request out on social media, Somerville received another message from Randall about Thompson face-timing the couple. “Greetings, Mr. Somerville! We had our video meeting with Klay this morning! It lasted about 25 minutes. Klay is really a kind and gentle soul. He even introduced his dog Rocko to my Bride!” Randall wrote [https://www.facebook.com/FrankSomervilleKTVU/posts/3681727051890595] to Somerville. Thompson had a rough year. Despite not even being able to contend for the championship this year, he truly stood out when it mattered the most. 

The Golden State Warriors don't just win championships, they also win hearts.
Here's how star player Klay Thompson proved that statement to be true.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Klay Thompson: Net worth, salary, endorsements</strong></h2>
Regarded as one of the best shooters in the game, Klay Alexander Thompson or Klay Thompson will be starting his 12th consecutive season for the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/nba-2019-20-golden-state-warriors-full-roster/">Golden State Warriors</a> in the 2022-23 NBA season. Unfortunately, he has missed out on two of these seasons due to injury. He played college basketball for three seasons with the Washington State Cougars before being picked by the Warriors in the first round of the 2011 NBA Draft as the 11th overall pick.

Since then, he has been a consistent performer for the team, winning four <a href="https://www.nba.com/">NBA</a> Championships with them.

Klay Thompson suffered a torn ACL during the 2019 NBA Finals and missed the subsequent season. But as the shooting guard was gearing up for his return to the 2021 season, he tore his right Achilles tendon a month before the season opener, which again sidelined him for an entire year. After missing the first couple of months in the 2021-22 campaign, Klay played his game in 941 days against the Cavaliers.

While Thompson took some time to readjust to the game, he became a major part of the Warriors' run to their fourth championship in eight years. This continued his historic run of not losing a playoff series when healthy since the 2016 NBA Finals.
