Warriors’ Klay Thompson clarifies ‘not sacrificing’ comment

Early last month, when the NBA calendar was in one of its biggest lulls, Klay Thompson was asked a straightforward question: Part of his answer — "I'm not sacrificing (expletive), because my game isn't changing" — became buzzworthy when it appeared in a Yahoo Sports article. If Durant can help them win their second NBA championship in three years, why should numbers matter? What makes Durant's addition so special is that he has the unique ability to better his squad without encroaching on what his teammates do best. With another player capable of handling the ball, Thompson will concentrate more on standing and shooting. "I think we really got stronger, which is hard to imagine because we had such a great year last year," said Thompson, who won a gold medal with Durant in Rio.
