When Klay Thompson was asked which Warrior would be the worst babysitter, he was stumped. His teammates were not.
While Thompson contemplated his teammates and their child care skills, everyone else had a quick answer.
“The worst babysitter on the team would probably be Klay Thompson,” Splash Brother Steph Curry said. “About halfway through he might forget that there’s a baby he’s responsible for.”
Steve Kerr agreed that Thompson was likely to forget he was babysitting, perhaps remembering a play against the Jazz earlier this season where Thompson forgot he was guarding the three-point line and wandered away from Malik Beasley.
Draymond Green also concurred that Klay would be the worst. “No question. Klay Thompson,” Green said, shaking his head.
When Thompson was younger, the team started putting him on opposing point guards simply because he concentrated better when he was guarding the ball. That means if he’s babysitting, you might want to strap the child to him with a Baby Bjorn to ensure his attention.
Meanwhile, Thompson declared that all his teammates with children were “all great fathers”, so he chose the youngest possible Warrior: 20-year-old Jonathan Kuminga, as did teammates Jordan Poole and Kevon Looney. Of course, Kuminga took no time to give his answer.
“Klay,” Kuminga said. “Klay would be the worst.”
