For starters, he made an incredible comeback after missing the 2019-20 season with a torn ACL and the 2020-21 campaign with a torn Achilles that forced him to sit the beginning of 2021-22.
He returned on Jan. 9, 2022, and even returned to form with 20.4 points per game. Thompson didn't experience any setbacks along the way and ended up being the Warriors' second-leading scorer en route to the team's fourth title in eight seasons.
It's been a long journey for Thompson and the Warriors since their last championship in 2018, but they are on top of the NBA world once again after taking down the C's.
