As he basked in his fourth NBA championship, Klay Thompson couldn’t help but remember a petty slight from three months ago.
The Golden State Warriors guard called out Jaren Jackson Jr. for a tweet that mocked the team’s “strength in numbers” slogan from March during his press conference Thursday night.
“Strength in numbers is alive and well,” Thompson told reporters after the win. “There was this one player on the Grizzlies who tweeted ‘Strength in numbers’ after they beat us in the regular season, and it pissed me off so much. I can’t wait to retweet that thing. Freakin’ bum. I had to watch that. I’m like, ‘This freakin’ clown.’
“Sorry, that memory just popped up. Gonna mock us? You ain’t ever been there before. We’ve been there before, we know what it takes. So to be here again, hold that.”
