The decision by coach Steve Kerr and the Golden State Warriors and to shift Klay Thompson to a sixth-man role has been a rollercoaster ride. Fortunately for the team and Thompson, it’s worked out well thus far. But the initial discussion between the coaching staff and the sharpshooter about the move wasn’t exactly met with positivity.
Kerr offered insight into how things played out, revealing that Thompson yelled at him and a few assistant coaches when he was informed of the decision, according to ESPN’s Kendra Andrews.
The Golden State coach explained that Thompson later returned to apologize for his reaction. But from Kerr’s perspective, it’s easy to understand why the five-time NBA All-Star responded the way he did when first receiving the news.
