Klay Thompson in “Harry Potter” getup

Klay Thompson

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson strikes most people as a quiet and sometimes awkward person who is shy around the media.

Not looking too much into this other than to laugh at his nerd-dom, Thompson apparently fancies himself as a huge fan of the ever-popular book and movie series “Harry Potter.”

That was evidenced recently in a NBA Reddit post showing Thompson in a full “Harry Potter” getup during his high school years (h/t CBS Sports):

Yes, that’s him second to the left in the glasses. And yes, a lanky Thompson was taller than his pals in high school as well.

Considered a wizard on the basketball court, Thompson’s attire is fitting. The 26-year-old guard is having a career season. He’s averaging 21.8 points while shooting 41 percent from the field for the 55-5 Warriors.

More than this, Thompson has upped his level of play on the defensive end of the court to the point where All-NBA Defensive Team honors aren’t completely out of the question.

The lesser known half of the Splash Brothers tandem in Golden State probably isn’t too excited about this photo becoming public record. After all, it wouldn’t be a surprise if his fellow teammates let him hear about his perceived nerd-dom.
