While Klay Thompson has become one of basketball’s all-time great shooters, he was just a normal kid like the rest of us.
In a post on Twitter, Mychal Thompson (Klay’s father) shared a picture of his two sons when they were younger, hilariously noting what Klay told his younger brother at the time:

Naturally, the fans in the comments got a real hoot out of it.
Oh my gosh!!! How precious. And Trayce’s cheeks are so cute!!! I just want to give him a squeeze.

You raised him right my friend! I know people from all races, ethnicities, political parties, etc. and the 1 thing they agree on is their love for Klay Thompson. We need Klay’s spirit & the happiness he exudes back, both on and off the court!!

This was the moment Trayce decided to pursue baseball 😂

It really should be no surprise that Klay’s competitive nature was there from the beginning. If he was so fired up about the game then, one can only imagine how much that has grown over the decades of his existence since.
Of course, considering modern-day Klay only averages 2.3 assists for his career, his younger self might have been a bit disappointed.
