Some fans praised the 80-year-old broadcaster's humour, while others suggested the comment might frustrate Thompson, who has spent years building one of the most respected careers in basketball.
The exchange was clearly lighthearted, but for a player who prides himself on his professionalism and legacy, it might not have been the compliment he was hoping for.
Klay Thompson 's season so far
Thompson is averaging 12 points in 22 minutes per game this season, shooting 39% from the field and 38% from three-point range.

Those are respectable numbers, but far below the peak standards that made him a four-time NBA champion with Golden State .
His minutes have been managed carefully as Dallas battles through a tough year marked by injuries to Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving .
At 18–26 and sitting 12th in the Western Conference, the Mavericks are unlikely to make a serious playoff push this season.
Thompson's experience and leadership remain invaluable, but it's been a frustrating campaign both for him and the franchise.
