As the NBA is set to restart the season in Orlando, 22 teams across the league are preparing to return to action. However, with the league’s worst record at 15-50, the Golden State Warriors will be staying in the Bay Area.
With Golden State’s season officially over, Klay Thompson is starting the offseason with a book.
On his Instagram, Thompson shared a photo of his signed copy of Kobe Bryant’s “Mamba Mentality: How I Play.” Inside the book, Bryant left a message for Thompson reading, “rings rings rings rings.” Thompson called the book “the greatest gift” he’s ever received.

Prior to sharing photos of his book, the Los Angeles native recently posted a photo on Instagram from his time at Bryant’s high school basketball camp. After Bryant tragically passed away in January, Thompson attended the NBA legend’s memorial at Staples Center.
On the court, Thompson is working his way back from injury. Golden State general manager told reporters there’d been “no setback” in Thompson’s recovery. The five-time All-Star gave a behind-the-scenes look at his knee rehab with a short documentary chronicling his return from injury.
