The legendary Mychal Thompson had some surprising comments about his son's signing with the Mavericks
. Thompson grew up in L.A. as his father Mychal won two championships with the Lakers in the late 1980s. The elder Thompson isn't pleased with his son's choice of going to the Mavs over the," a radio show on the Sirius XM NBA network, and was asked about his initial thoughts on Klay's signing with the Mavs and had some surprising comments about the decision.
"I'm not feeling too much in a congratulatory mood right now," Mychal Thompson would start. "Obviously, it's Klay's decision, it's his life, he's a grown man, 34 years of age just like we were 34 at one time... and our fathers used to give us advice and we would go choose our own path and that's fine, that's what life is supposed to be about. But I'm really disappointed. I was hoping, as you can assess, that he would be a Laker.
