OAKLAND – Klay Thompson hopes a certain someone from the Eastern Conference will be his All-Star team.

“I think it would be cool to play with Kevin Love because I grew up with that guy since I was eight years old,” Thompson said during the NBA global media conference on Thursday. Like our Warriors Facebook page for more Warriors news, commentary and conversation.

Thompson said that he and Love, who plays for the Cleveland Cavaliers, haven’t played together since they were children, both on the same Little League team in Lake Oswego, Oregon.

“To play with him in the All-Star team would be pretty special,” Thompson said.

Thompson and Love have definitely had a lot of experience playing against one another, most recently when the Warriors beat the Cavaliers in the 2017 NBA Finals.

“It’s always fun competing against them,” Thompson said.
