Klay Thompson returned to the Golden State Warriors this season after a two-year layoff.
Although he understandably wasn’t able to get back to playing at the level he was at before his injuries, the 32-year-old did still play an instrumental role in his franchise winning its fourth championship in eight years.
And while Thompson wasn’t quite in the form he was in during his first three titles, it is worth remembering that the Warriors couldn’t even make the playoffs when he was out.
To the victor go the spoils, and Thompson has been living it up this summer.
Recently, a video emerged showing just how good of a time he has been having:
Classic Klay 🤣

And it’s not just the fun water activities that have been going Thompson’s way this summer. He also seems to be living it up with his new girlfriend.
Thompson has been something of a mainstay in the headlines in recent weeks. Between him allegedly creeping on NFL players’ ladies and trying to get Malika Andrews to see him, it has been one thing after another with him.
The man knows how to have fun. Never forget, this is a dude who was photographed leaving a party with two beautiful women and had provocative photos of him and his at-the-time-lady that famously leaked at one point.
With the NBA regular season rapidly approaching, Thompson will likely soon ease up on the partying and start getting mentally right for what’s to come.
The real reason Alex Rodriguez is back on the market. https://t.co/z66RDYpU8w

Can he and the Warriors repeat in 2022-23?
Time will tell.
