Rocco, the beloved dog of former Golden State Warriors star and Bay Area legend Klay Thompson, has passed away after 13 years of life. Mychal Thompson announced the passing of one of Thompson’s closest companions on the ESPN-LA’s Mason & Ireland show. “As Mase and Ireland always say, when someone dear has departed, ‘Hail fellow, well met.’ We had to put Rocco, Klay’s dog, down over the weekend,” Thompson shared with the rest of the radio hosts. Thompson went on to say that “it was time.” “We were all sad, but Rocco had a great long life,” the elder Thompson said.

Who would you say are your comps at the NBA level? Walter Clayton: Me personally, I’ll let other people do the comparison. Me personally, I don’t do comps. I kinda said it already. I like to take bits and pieces from different guys’ games, but I just try to be me. Which guys are you talking about in particular? Walter Clayton: Donovan Mitchell is one of them, just with his full game. He gets in there, never gets too deep in the paint. So just all the different footwork he has with that. Obviously guys like [Stephen] Curry, just their footwork. Klay Thompson, coming off ball screens, even dribble pull-ups. And just looking at other guys like Jrue Holiday, trying to take their game apart, seeing how I can improve on the defensive end of the ball. -via HoopsHype / May 14, 2025
