Klay Thompson posts photos from his recent Bahamas trip, labeled “embracing island life.”
The Warriors’ standout player tweeted photos from a Caribbean island trip, which is particularly meaningful because it is the birthplace of his father, Mychal Thompson, a former Lakers player. Given Mychal’s recent comment regarding Klay’s enthusiasm for club dancing in China, it appears that he values his son’s affinity for the Bahamas.

Thompson is seen relaxing on the sea, jet skiing with a female acquaintance, and swimming around a sunken boat in the photos. When a video of Klay’s wild dancing at a Chinese club went viral in June, TMZ contacted his father for comment, highlighting Stephen Curry’s usage of laughing emojis in response.
Mychal reportedly reacted with a grin, saying, “He got that from me.” He continued, “That is unique to the Bahamas. From the islands, that is. We’re good dancers. Everyone in the Caribbean is born with a sense of rhythm. Klay appears to be embracing his roots and taking some time to reconnect with his natural rhythm.
