Thompson ready to prove doubters wrong
Injuries to Thompson and Stephen Curry, plus the departure of Kevin Durant has had a significant impact on the Warriors championship run. After taking five consecutive trips to the Finals, the Warriors became the first team in the NBA to be officially eliminated from playoff contention in 2020.
Despite the Warriors league-worst record, Thompson isn’t ready to admit Golden State’s run is over.
Via Above The Waves:
It just kills me inside when I see these other teams, so many talking heads and some of my peers saying the dynasty is over, ‘they had a great run.’ I have so much more to give this game.
…
I’ll just be that eager to prove everyone wrong again. That’s a good fire to have. Harness it for motivation to come back even stronger. It just takes time.
Sitting at 15-50, the Golden State Warriors will have the opportunity to add a blue-chip prospect at the top of the 2020 NBA Draft.
Along with a rookie, and newcomers Andrew Wiggins and Eric Paschall, the Warriors core of Thompson, Curry and Draymond Green are all slated to be in Golden State’s lineup next year.
Thompson will have his chance at a revenge tour when the 2020-21 season kicks off.
