Klay Thompson, once the pride of the Warriors, the Warriors who wielded the three-point torch and shined on the court, now faces an ultimatum. The Warriors are no longer the giants of the past, and Thompson is no longer the same person he used to be. Injuries, years and changes have forced him to re-examine his career.
Imagine Thompson, once in the limelight, standing on the Warriors court, waving his jersey and celebrating the victory with his teammates. Now, will he be able to continue to be the backbone of the team? This is a question worth pondering. At the pinnacle of his career, Thompson was hailed as a historic 3-and-D player, with his amazing three-point shooting ability and his defensive prowess to the hearts of opponents. But now, injuries and years seem to have left their mark on him.
The Warriors' management has given a clear signal: a four-year, $88 million new contract, which is the last goodwill to Thompson and a warning. If you don't sign a contract, you get out, this sentence may be a bit cruel, but it is a reality. In today's competitive NBA league, no one can survive with the glory of the past. Thompson needs to reassess his worth and redefine his future.
Perhaps, this is exactly the alarm bell that Thompson needs. The glory of the past is a thing of the past, and now what he needs to do is to face the reality, accept the challenge, and prove his worth again. The contract offered by the Warriors is not only a reward for his past contributions, but also an expectation for his future.
However, it is unclear whether Thompson will be able to accept the contract and whether he will be able to regain the form he was back in. But at the very least, he should give himself a chance to prove his worth. Don't give up easily, don't say fuck off. Because only by persevering can we usher in the dawn of victory.
At this critical juncture, I want to say a word to Thompson: Believe in yourself and believe in the future. No matter what difficulties you face, persevere. Because, only by persevering, can we see the dawn of victory. Come on, Clay!
