Kerith Burke of NBC Sports asked Golden State Warriors shooting guard Klay Thompson a followup question about his dip in the ocean on Saturday, which Thompson says led to his strong offensive performance in the team’s Game 4 win against the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday.
Basically, Burke wanted to know Thompson’s views on the power of nature.
Already a self-described outdoorsy person, Thompson seemed to relish the chance to wax poetically about nature:
With it being Earth Day [Monday], I hope more people now will get out, especially the younger generation. We, including myself, have a tough time with technological devices and addiction. So, I hope [my dip in the ocean] inspires some kids to get outside and enjoy the fruits of nature.
Thompson said he has enjoyed some outdoors time since the Game 4 win on Sunday. And, although the team has been practicing with the intent to close the series out against the Clippers tonight at Oracle Arena, it sounds like Thompson will still find time to wade in natural surroundings — to keep his recently “reset” mind right — before stepping on the court.
