Fans share hilarious reactions to Joe Biden forgetting Klay Thompson’s name during Warriors' visit to White House

Klay Thompson is one of the most recognizable faces in the NBA right now, but he's had a few encounters with people who forget his name. During the Golden State Warriors' recent visit to the White House, US President Joe Biden tried his best to remember Klay Thompson's name, but failed to. Fans flocked to social media to share their reactions.

The Warriors are the most recent NBA team to grace the floor of the White House after winning the 2022 NBA championship. It was a special moment that the team was able to share with each other. During their visit, President Biden shared some words of encouragement with the team.

For one moment, the president credited the Warriors' Big Three. He mentioned Steph Curry and Draymond Green flawlessly. But when he got to Thompson, he simply mumbled and transitioned to a different topic. One fan pointed out that the POTUS could've simply forgotten Klay's name and just decided to talk about different things.

After this moment from the president, fans couldn't help but hilariously share their reactions. We've collected some of the funniest reactions to this moment from fans on Twitter. Here are some of them:

Thompson remained quiet throughout all of this. But who knows? He could have a big game against the Boston Celtics to let the POTUS know his name.

Should Klay Thompson be an All-Star this season?

Klay Thompson is having one heck of a season. After missing out on two straight seasons due to injuries, it looks like Thompson is back to his usual self. Prior to his injury, he averaged 21.5 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 2.4 assists, making him an All-Star for the Warriors.

This season, Klay is averaging 20.9 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 2.5 assists. It's also worth noting that the five-time All-Star had some early-season struggles, which he has already overcome.

He's had two major injuries that have kept him off the court for a huge amount of time. Thompson's ability to overcome his struggles should play a big part in his bid to become an All-Star this season.

For the 2022-23 season, Klay has done an outstanding job of showing people that he's still a star. Even if he doesn't make the All-Star team, everyone knows that he's still a valuable weapon for the Warriors in their journey to defend their title.
