On Thursday night, Klay Thompson won his fourth NBA championship in six tries. That he did so after missing the entire 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 seasons due to knee and achilles injuries makes it even more impressive. Some athletes would never be the same. But for Thompson, all he did was average 20.4 points a game in 32 games. It culminated in another NBA title. And no matter what some might say, Thompson is definitely playing a big role in Golden State’s dynasty.
With four NBA titles, five all-star appearances and an Olympic gold medal, Thompson is by far WSU’s most accomplished professional athlete and it’s not even close.
