It doesn’t take much sleuthing to deduce that Golden State Warriors star Klay Thompson was one of the participants in an anonymous NBA player poll.
The Athletic dropped its semiregular poll Monday morning, saying its NBA reporters interviewed 142 players over the final month of the season to fill out the third edition of its poll. The Athletic granted anonymity in the hopes of getting more honest answers to a wide variety of questions, such as this year’s MVP, best defender, most overrated and underrated players, and more.
But in what the Athletic called a “bonus question,” the outlet got 115 players to share their favorite current non-NBA athlete.
