NBA All-Star Klay Thompson has revealed that FC Barcelona is one of the inspirations for the Golden State Warriors, who have won four NBA Championships in recent years.
Their coach, Steve Kerr, is a fan of football and supports Liverpool FC. But when it came to finding a model to base his basketball team on, Kerr looked to “tiki-taka.”
This came to light when basketball legend Charles Barkley spoke with Thompson during a segment on TNT.
“You guys are the best without the ball that I have seen without the ball in a long time,” Barkley said.
