Klay Thompson posted another entertaining live Instagram post from his boat: This time, he gave props to San Francisco Giants star third baseman Kris Bryant.
“I love the Kris Bryant acquisition. He’s a great player,” Klay says while cruising San Francisco Bay near Oracle Park.
Thompson says Bryant reminds him of himself: “You know, tall, rangy, gun of an arm … hitting the long ball.”
True, the newcomer has hit six home runs since the Giants acquired him from the Chicago Cubs at the July 30 trade deadline.
Thompson is a huge baseball fan and played Little League with Cleveland Cavaliers’ star Kevin Love. His brother, Trayce, was Bryant’s former teammate on the Cubs.
Thompson, who missed all of last season due to a torn Achilles, was taking a break from his extensive rehab routine. He is expected to return to the Warriors this season.
In the meantime, Thompson’s making a bold prediction from his boat: “Here we go, Warriors and Giants champions this year.”
