Klay Thompson’s Dad Thinks The Warriors Can Win Another Four Titles In Five Years

Klay Thompson and the rest of the Golden State Warriors all seem intent on staying together in Oakland. If they manage to make the numbers work, his father thinks they have a big trophy haul coming. Thompson’s father, former No. 1 overall draft pick Mychal Thompson, claimed the Warriors can win as many as four more titles over the next five years in an appearance on the Warriors flagship radio station.

Speaking on the The Greg Papa Show on 95.7 The Game on Tuesday, Thompson predicted big things to come for his son’s team. Sports Illustrated has the audio of the appearance.


“The Warriors are set up now to go on a 5-year run with another three or four rings,” Thompson said “I’d be shocked if they didn’t. They’re that good. They’re that well-coached and that well-run in their front office.”

Thompson’s father also gave the team a pretty solid gift for its second title in three years—a $130 bottle of Crown Royal XR with a custom-embroidered bag.

“These guys have played their hearts out all season long and are so deserving of this title,” Thompson said about his son’s team.

There’s no word if the Warriors cracked them open before their victory parade on Thursday, but if they did I’m sure they had a lovely time. That blue and gold pouch is a really nice touch. It’s not like the other Crown bottles where you end up storing loose change or something in it and feel like you’re storing loot to hide from Robin Hood.
