Golden State parted ways with Stephen Curry’s longtime sidekick and “splash brother” Klay Thompson last season, which he anticipates will be a “challenge” for his squad, but the Olympian likes being counted out. “I love the fact that people don’t think we can keep the pace with some of the other teams that they’re picking in the West,” he says. “And I just love that challenge of stepping into a training camp and being able to create your own success — that gets me going.” “And obviously coming off of this Olympic experience, I’m trying to channel that energy all year.”
