DALLAS – Since leaving Pullman in 2011 after his junior year, Klay Thompson has accomplished a great deal in the NBA.
Now 28, the ex-Cougar was the 11th pick in the 2011 NBA draft by Golden State. With the Warriors, he has been a key contributor to three NBA championship teams and is a four-time All-Star. Thompson also played on Team USA’s gold medal-winning squad at the 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup and at the 2016 Rio Summer Olympics.
But, prior to a recent road game in Dallas, the first thing he wanted to discuss was the Apple Cup game against Washington in Pullman coming up on Friday.
