Kobe likes Klay

6

Kobe genuinely smiled when one Warriors player's name was brought up after the game ... That player would be Klay Thompson, son of Lakers broadcaster Mychal Thompson. Klay had 22 points while shooting 6-for-11 from 3 on Monday and guarded Bryant for much of the night, helping to keep Kobe to just 11-for-27 shooting. "I’m proud of him," Bryant said of Klay. "I really am. I’m happy to see him develop. You know, Mychal’s brought him to the games and I’ve talked to him after the games when he was a young pup and you see him out there playing well. It’s good."
