Klay Thompson and the Golden State Warriors took an off day in New York on Monday after their east coast trip ended in Brooklyn before getting ready to fly to Oklahoma City for a tilt with the Thunder on Wednesday night.
Each of the Warriors enjoyed their off day in a different way. Zaza Pachulia and Jordan Bell went over to the NBA offices to meet with Adam Silver and get a little face time with the man in charge of the league. Steph Curry was courtside at Barclays Center taking in the Legends Classic for some early season college hoops.

The rest of the Warriors were, I’m sure, finding ways to enjoy and entertain themselves in the Big Apple. And then there’s Thompson, who decided to stroll around and take in the sights and sounds of the city (which is a fine way to spend an afternoon in New York). At some point, Thompson was stopped by a local news crew who were interviewing people on the street for their thoughts on the massive amounts of scaffolding around buildings and over sidewalks, and Thompson obliged with a very Klay interview.

“I usually observe if the piping and stuff is new,” Thompson said. “Sometimes, ya know, if it looks like it’s been there awhile I try to avoid that.”
Strong scaffolding takes from Klay. The “NBA Player” under his name on the screen makes this even better, but it’s really the fact that Thompson seems pretty happy to give his takes on walking under scaffolding in the city to a local news crew. I now would like to know Thompson’s feelings on other mundane issues with big city living and how he deals with them. What I’m saying is, give Klay Thompson a public access television show.
