Klay Thompson has evolved into a cult hero among Warriors and NBA fans for his honesty, aloofness to the drama, his relationship with his bulldog Rocco and easy-going personality.

Package all that with one of the best jumpers in the league and impressive defensive versatility and you get a four-time All-Star any team would love to have.

But before Thompson was drafted by the Warriors with the 11th pick in the 2011, he didn’t know where Golden State played its games. He admitted as much in a recent podcast with ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

“I grew up down here (Los Angeles) and in Portland, so the Warriors, I’m not going to say they were an afterthought, they were a great team in (NBA) 2K because they had Monta (Ellis) and Steph (Curry) so you could jack a lot of 3s. But I didn’t know if they were in Oakland, San Francisco or San Jose at the time. I was like, ‘Where’s Golden State at?’ “But I got real familiar with Oakland quick and it’s a beautiful place. I didn’t have any expectations. I can honestly say I was just happy to be in the NBA when I walked in that door. It was surreal, still is. I had no goals or anything. I was just happy to be there. I was a young pup just eager to get out there and have fun.”

Add this to the long list of priceless Klay Thompson anecdotes, which recently included sleeping through the practice before dropping 60 points in three quarters during a blowout win over the Pacers.

Never change, Klay.
