Thompson is back where it all started to model for Rastaclat, a bracelet company that’s already made waves in action sports and fashion and now is expanding into hoops. Thompson has his own signature bracelet dropping soon, and the brand has official bracelets for all 30 NBA teams.

Thompson liked the style and the people behind the company, including the 34-year-old founder Daniel Kasidi, a former sponsored skateboarder. The partnership feels organic: both the athlete and company have their roots in Southern California, and Rastaclat’s motto is “spreading positive vibrations one wrist at a time.”

“I’ve never seen him put down teammates or do anything that was self-serving,” Kasidi says.

Thompson’s humble, team-first spirit is a reflection of the Warriors’ culture, which has manifested in one of the most impressive three-year runs in sports history. But the NBA’s unpredictable nature has everyone wondering how long this run of dominance can last. Thompson is already being inundated with questions about his contract, which expires in 2019.

“Sometimes people get more intrigued by free agency than they do by the actual season,” he says. “That takes away from the actual game of basketball, which can be kind of annoying at times, but it is what it is.”

The talk is indeed everywhere, but the Warriors have shown a commitment to keeping the core together.

Kevin Durant’s willingness to accept a $25 million contract—way less than he could have gotten—allowed Golden State to bring back Iguodala and Shaun Livingston, and to add another lethal shooter in Nick Young.

“It means that our front office, they talk the talk—they talk about wanting to build a championship team and stay around for a long time—and they’re paying our guys and they’re about it,” says Thompson. “They want to see this thing last for a long time. It’s really cool that they believe in us like that and they paid our vets who deserve it, because they’re integral to our team.”

By paying to keep their core together, the Warriors may face major luxury-tax and repeater-tax implications down the road, but the team’s ownership has expressed a commitment to bearing the high cost of maintaining this group.

Thompson’s value would be sky high if he were to hit the open market, but he might be willing to give the Warriors a discount. His offensive game is explosive yet efficient—he’s easily the most effective catch-and-shoot guy in the league—and he is simultaneously a top-tier wing defender. Analytics nerds love him. So do old-school, intangibles guys. As one NBA scout tells Complex, Thompson is “like a three-and-D guy on steroids.”

And when he gets hot...watch out.

“I try to get in that zone, but there’s a reason it only happens once in awhile,” Thompson says. “It’s hard...it just takes great focus. People don’t realize how much focus you need to be a great player in the NBA, or in any profession.”

Rewatch this year’s NBA Finals and you’ll see that focus on display. Thompson repeatedly stepped up in the biggest moments. Game 3 will be long remembered for Kevin Durant’s dagger 3-pointer, but people forget the game was far from over after that shot. With Golden State up 114-113, Cleveland came back down the court with a two-for-one opportunity. The Cavs called an iso for Kyrie Irving, who crossed over and changed pace and did Uncle Drew things with the basketball. What was going through your head, Thompson is asked.

“Don’t let Kyrie get to his right hand, and don’t let him get to the rim,” he answers. “I would have been very impressed if he hit that. Not two years in a row. He hit that same shot against Steph (in Game 7 of the 2016 Finals).”

That stop was signature Klay—stepping up in a huge moment to make the less-than-flashy winning play. He has learned how to live in the spotlight, but still seems to care little for personal acclaim.
