Golden State Warriors: 10 Fun facts about the 2021-22 NBA season

Klay Thompson is wearing a headband?

Many NBA players have dreams of one day becoming a rapper. Who does Klay Thompson dream of being? Well, Jackie Moon.

Klay has long shown appreciation for Moon, the fictional character played by Will Ferrell in “Semi-Pro” — a classic comedy about basketball. Thompson dressed up as Jackie for Halloween in 2018 and recently posted an Instagram photo captioned “We goin full Jackie Moon this year.”

This would not be the first time Thompson has worn a headband. In fact, he was wearing one briefly during his historic 52 point explosion in Chicago when he set an NBA record for most 3-pointers (14) in a single game. Klay was not wearing the headband for his first 12 3-pointers that night, but after a scratch on his forehead left him bleeding in the third quarter, he sported the iconic headband for the final stretch of the game.

It should be noted that both of the Splash Brothers have largely strayed away from additional cosmetics on the basketball floor. Neither Stephen Curry or Klay wear shooting sleeves and they each grew out of their hand band phases pretty quickly.

However, Thompson might officially shake things up this season and sport the band full time. I guess we will find out.
