For the first time in two seasons, basketball fans got to see Klay Thompson lace up for a game. Yet, it wasn’t in the Bay Area at Chase Center. On Friday, the Golden State Warriors shooting guard made an appearance in the LeBron James-led movie, “Space Jam: A New Legacy.”
Instead of his blue and gold Golden State jersey, Thompson suited up alongside Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis, Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard, Los Angeles Sparks guard Nneka Ogwumike and Phoenix Mercury guard Diana Taurasi with the “Goon Squad.”
As the character “Wet-Fire,” Thompson and the Goon Squad’s cast of NBA and WNBA All-Stars challenged James, Bugs Bunny and the Looney Tunes in the “Server-Verse.”
While all the players for the Goon Squad were given unique powers, Thompson’s Wet-Fire character would switch back and forth from a water-based player to a fiery flame-themed hooper.
