Klay Thompson

Klay Thompson and fan

The line circled around the second floor of the shopping center. 500 people were waiting to take a picture with Klay Thompson, Golden State Warrior shooting guard.

Klay Thompson and point guard Stephen Curry have been nicknamed the Splash Brothers. Their three-point shots have been lighting scoreboards around the NBA. Their coach has called them "the greatest shooting backcourt in the history of the game".

23 years old, earning $2.3 million this year and $3.1 million next, Klay Thompson's future is brighter than most of us will experience or imagine. Greeting every fan with a hug or handshake, he seems to be a nice guy, too. The world is his oyster. © 2014 Stephen Yuen
