Klay Thompson's decision to sign with the Dallas Mavericks over the Los Angeles Lakers has left his father, Mychal Thompson, disappointed. Mychal, who is a Lakers broadcaster and former player, had hoped Klay would join the Lakers and finish his career in the same uniform in which he won a championship. Despite Klay growing up as a Lakers fan and idolizing Kobe Bryant, he chose the Mavericks in free agency. Mychal expressed his sentiments, stating he was not in a congratulatory mood and wished Klay had signed with the Lakers, especially while LeBron and Bronny are playing together.
