VIDEO: Klay Thompson Steals Mic for Mid-Game Interview and it's Priceless
Man, the Warriors just aren't the same without Klay Thompson. The All-Star shooting guard has been out this whole season with a torn ACL, and NBA fans miss not only his two-way prowess, but also his charismatic and hilarious personality. Thankfully, we got a little reminder of classic Klay when he acted as the sideline reporter for his squad on Wednesday night against the Bulls.
We need sideline reporter Klay every game until he gets back ?

In a mid-game interview of Omari Spellman, Klay took the mic from a Warriors reporter and decided to conduct his own interview. Spellman clearly seemed to love it, and Thompson showed he might have the showmanship to pursue TV once his playing career is over.

If you're curious as to why Klay seems like such a natural with this, it likely comes from his father, Mychal, who is currently one of the Lakers commentators.
Maybe this is the start of him following in his dad's footsteps. When Klay's playing days eventually come to a close, he certainly could make the jump to the booth.
