Klay Thompson Invited Buddy Hield to Iconic 2016 Warriors-Thunder Game

Golden State Warriors sharpshooter Klay Thompson, who shares Bahamian roots with Buddy Hield, invited the then-emerging college star to an iconic Warriors game against the Oklahoma City Thunder during the 2015-16 NBA season. Thompson reached out to Hield after discovering their common heritage through Klay's father, Mychal Thompson. Hield, then a senior at Oklahoma, received the full Warriors experience, meeting Thompson, Stephen Curry, and Steve Kerr in the locker room. The game Hield attended featured Curry's memorable game-winning three-pointer against Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, leaving a significant impression on Hield.
