I cried twice before Klay Thompson even clocked a single minute. The Golden State Warriors started off the night with a heartfelt tribute video that got me. There’s so much history here, and it’s hard to imagine a player that’s easier to root for than Thompson. And then, as expected, again when he took the floor for the first time. Watching Curry run out behind Kevon Looney so that Thompson had the limelight all to himself was just too much.

Oh, and the Warriors won - partially because of Thompson’s contributions. He may not have had his most efficient night ever, but it was effective.

Klay Thompson: 12 shots, 14 points in 11 minutes. Getting them up. Just got hot to open the third quarter.

There was a lot to like about tonight’s game though, beyond Thompson’s return; from Looney’s incredible rebounding game, to Gary Payton jumping over a dude (and did Payton have a limp all game?)… but I’m going to leave that to my esteemed colleagues. For now, let’s just celebrate the return of one of the best to ever do it.

While still looking just a tiny bit rusty, I have to say that I was extremely impressed with how good Thompson looked. Perhaps a bit slow to change direction, his shot is still phenomenal, and his defensive instincts are fully intact after the hiatus.

Welcome back. The inaugural Klay Day was one to remember.

Klay Thompson just played in his first game in 2 1/2 years. That was powerful to witness.

Totally unrelated: does the sort of cacophonous fans background chorus come from this one? (Warriors, 1979). https://youtu.be/aRM2YcGpmxg

I'm still baffled that the number 3 pick Jahlil Okafor from the 2015 draft is playing in China at 26.
