For The Warriors, It's Gotta Be The Shoes

When Warriors guard Klay Thompson strode into the visiting locker room at Staples Center for shootaround last Wednesday, he found on the shelf above his locker a pair of size-15 Anta KT2Whitehawks, white with a royal blue heel and yellow accents. Eric Housen, who handles the team’s equipment, made sure he packed those shoes for the trip to Los Angeles because Thompson wore them while splashing 60 points in three quarters against the Pacers two nights prior. Thompson is not superstitious about his kicks, but clearly he felt comfortable in the Whitehawks. “They should be on ice,” Thompson joked, if not behind glass.
