Moody reveals how he continues to bond with Klay after Warriors breakup originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
Moses Moody continues to have a close relationship with his former Warriors teammate Klay Thompson, which includes some spirited chess competition.
The Golden State guard explained that Thompson is purely authentic and a real person while recalling his chess matches on the latest episode of “The Draymond Green Show.”
“Klay is really just a real guy,” Moody told Green and Baron Davis. “He has no ulterior motive for anything he does. He would let you on the boat because he wanted to hang out with you for a while, not for any other reason. We keep playing chess all the time, it’s just a genuine relationship with a genuine guy.”
Green then asked if Moody was still playing chess with Thompson and who had won recently.
“I’ve been hot lately,” Moody explained to Davis and Green. “I got him like three or four games in a row. Before that, I was talking to you, and he attacked me like five games in a row. So I just started fighting back.”
Thompson and Moody developed a close friendship during their three seasons together in Golden State.
After contract negotiations fell through with the Warriors, Thompson joined the Dallas Mavericks in NBA free agency this past offseason. Thompson’s exit has worked for the Warriors so far, who have jumped out to a 7-2 start to the 2024-25 NBA season.
With the Mavericks coming to Chase Center next Tuesday for the first time this season, expect a lot of deep emotions. And don’t be surprised if you see Moody and Thompson lighting up the chessboard of the court either.
