The Bahamas had just qualified for next year’s Olympic Qualifying Tournament, and it was reported that Eugene Horton, chairman of the Bahamas Basketball Association, wanted to find Golden State Warriors star Klay Thompson whose father was born in the Bahamas!
The Bahamas can stand out in the Olympic qualifiers in the Americas qualifiers, mainly relying on the Big Three, Deandre Ayton and Eric Gordon of the Phoenix Suns, and Buddy Hield of the Indiana Pacers. Among them, Eric Gordon, who has played for the US national team , obtained a special case from the International Basketball Federation (FIBA), and agreed to transfer membership on the grounds that the Bahamas is a basketball developing country, which is quite crucial.
The ambition seems to be more than that. Eugene Horton, chairman of the Bahamas Basketball Association, even put his brains on the Golden State Warriors star Klay Thompson, hoping to follow Eric Gordon’s model and agree to transfer him to the Bahamas.
Klay Thompson’s father, Mychal Thompson, is also a famous NBA player. He was born in the Bahamas and helped the Los Angeles Lakers win two NBA championships in 1987 and 1988.
“Klay Thompson has to express an interest in joining the Bahamas and USA Basketball has to agree to release him,” Bahamas Basketball Association president Eugene Horton said.
