Photos: Headband Klay Thompson in action for workout at Warriors’ facility

During a workout at Golden State’s facility, Klay Thompson broke out his signature headband look.

The legend of Klay Thompson is something that only continues to grow and morph into multiple well-known personas around fans of the Golden State Warriors. Thompson has gone by several aliases, including “Game Six Klay,” “China Klay” and recently “Boat Captain Klay.”

One of Thompson’s established nicknames is an ode to one of his famous looks — “Headband Klay.” At a recent workout at Golden State’s facility, the five-time All-Star broke out the headband. On Twitter, the Warriors shared a pair of photos from Thompson’s training session.

In 2018, Thompson suffered a cut on his head against the Chicago Bulls. The sharpshooting Warriors guard donned a headband and went on to notch a record-breaking performance from long distance. Thompson notched a record-setting 14 triples on 24 attempts from deep. The Washington State product tallied 52 points while wearing a headband in Golden State’s win over Chicago.

Once Thompson makes his long-awaited return to the Warriors’ lineup after rehabbing a pair of season-ending injuries, Chase Center could also see the comeback of Headband Klay.

Klay Thompson channels Will Ferrell’s ‘Semi-Pro’ character Jackie Moon with behind-the-back trick shot.

While he stars alongside LeBron James and Bugs Bunny on the big screen in “Space Jam: A New Legacy,” Klay Thompson channeled another famous movie character at a recent workout.

While donning a headband, the Golden State Warriors shooting guard attempted a behind-the-back shot that clanked off the backboard. However, on the second attempt, Thompson made it count. The three-time NBA champion drilled the behind-the-back shot.

After dropping in his trick shot, Thompson celebrated by cheering out a name from a Will Ferrell-led film. The five-time All-Star called out Ferrell’s character Jackie Moon from the basketball movie “Semi-Pro.” Thompson shared the video on his Instagram (@KlayThompson).

Going back since 2018, Thompson has been a fan of Moon. Prior to a game at Oakland’s Oracle Arena, the Washington State product showed up to the arena wearing a full Flint Tropics uniform.
