OAKLAND – When three of the greatest players in the world — three of the greatest players to ever play the sport of basketball — are set to square off in the NBA Finals, it’s easy to forget about the other guys.
And while LeBron James, Stephen Curry, and Kevin Durant will be at the forefront of deciding this year’s title, it’s another player who you should keep your eye on in this series: Klay Thompson.
With the undeniable star power of Durant and Curry, Thompson is often the Warriors’ forgotten star.
But Thompson — the Warriors’ best two-way player this postseason — is the linchpin of a team that is looking for its third title in four years.
