Kevin Durant described Golden State teammate Klay Thompson as "one of the greatest people I've ever met" on the Bill Simmons Podcast, and told a story that made it clear why. Durant raved about his Warriors teammate while speaking to Simmons, and revealed a quite sensational story about a time when Thompson missed practice but went on to have an outstanding performance. It was back in the summer of 2016, when Thompson had his historical night against the Indiana Pacers that saw him become the first player in the shot-clock era to score 60 points in under 30 minutes.
