Mychal Thompson Autographs
Mychal Thompson is a former Bahamian-American professional basketball player who had a successful career in the NBA from 1978 to 1991. Born on January 30, 1955, in Nassau, Bahamas, he moved to the United States to attend the University of Minnesota on a basketball scholarship. During his college career, he set school records for rebounds in a season and career, leading the Golden Gophers to the NCAA Tournament in 1977.
After being selected as the first overall pick by the Portland Trail Blazers in the 1978 NBA Draft, Thompson spent the next several years developing his skills as a center. In 1984, he was traded to the San Antonio Spurs, where he played for two seasons before being traded again to the Los Angeles Lakers in 1987. It was with the Lakers that Thompson achieved his greatest success, winning back-to-back NBA championships in 1987 and 1988 alongside superstars Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
Thompson retired from the NBA in 1991, but his legacy as a basketball player lives on. He earned a reputation as one of the league's top defensive players, averaging 7.4 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game over his 13-year career. After retiring, Thompson transitioned to a career in basketball broadcasting, working as a color commentator for the Lakers and later as a sports talk radio host. Today, he is perhaps best known as the father of NBA star Klay Thompson, who has followed in his father's footsteps to become one of the league's top players with the Golden State Warriors.
