I am so inspired to elevate my own endurance!"Thompson has been an avid sailor, up to the point where he even took his boat to practice when he was with the Golden State Warriors. He shared pictures and clips from his sailing sessions when he lived in the Bay Area.Patrick Beverley shares wild Klay Thompson-Paul George takePatrick Beverley believes the Warriors could've done a whole lot better. In the latest edition of his podcast, the former NBA player argued that they would've been more successful with Paul George instead of Thompson:"If you put Paul George in that role playing as Klay Thompson, playing with [Steph Curry, Draymond Green, Andre Iguodala] at a point -- obviously we know Paul George a couple years ago, was in the MVP race," Beverley said."If you substitute those two, and we don't know, we're just going off what we think in basketball, I think that Golden State probably wins more championships."It's hard to be more successful than the Warriors during the dynasty days. They won four championships in six trips to the NBA Finals, set a record for the most wins in regular-season history, and were in the Finals five years in a row.Thompson was instrumental to their success, and the Splash Brothers would've never happened without him.
