Dallas Mavericks star Klay Thompson offered advice to younger basketball players.
Thompson: "Fall in love this with this s**t. It does not last forever. This s**t goes by so quick. As you got longer in your career, you'll notice guys you came in with, it's tough to stick. Enjoy this s**t as much as you can...Money and all that s**t is cool, but the fact that you get to do something you love for a living. There's not a better feeling."That's good advice from a five-time NBA All-Star who is speaking from a lot of experience.
While Thompson is still an above-average player, he is no longer the borderline superstar that he once was five years ago. Last season, the former Washington State star averaged 17.9 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists per contest while shooting 43.2% from the field and 38.7% from the three-point range in 77 games.

He will be an intriguing addition to a team that already has perennial All-Stars Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving.
