Klay Thompson reveals why he predicted the Warriors Championship. Now a four-time champion Golden State Warriors sharpshooter Klay Thompson knew this team was special. Having gotten off to an 18-2 start Golden State put many people on notice to start its 2021-22 campaign. For Klay this level of dominance came as no surprise as he declared the season Championship or bust earlier in the year. Having fulfilled that prophecy Klay reflected on his comments from earlier in the season and revealed why he felt that way. We are not playing for second place Klay said on the Andre Iguodala podcast. We have been to the top of the mountain and the second place stuff hurts a lot. Those things hurt they still hurt. You do not forget the plays that cost you the game. I still think about it. So that is what I I was thinking when I said Championship or bust.
Having last played in the 2019 Finals at the time a series that ended with the Warriors heartbroken Klay wanted to experience nothing less than another championship. Now on the other side of his Championship or bust statement he can enjoy his summer knowing that his team is back at that level of dominance. Now with four rings in the last eight years Golden State knows how difficult it is to defend a title. While they will enjoy this 2022 ring their focus will quickly shift to next year where they will be looking to win it all again.
