Klay Thompson gives funny answers on Space Jam 2 red carpet

Klay Thompson has a role in "Space Jam: A New Legacy," which will be released to the general public July 16.

So naturally, the Warriors' star shooting guard was at the movie's red carpet event Monday night in Los Angeles.

And to nobody's surprise, Klay provided some great quotes.

Klay Thompson on the "Space Jam" red carpet: "To be part of such a great film, a legacy film, I mean I just left my house, I watched the original to get psyched up for this red carpet walk, so it's pretty special."

Klay on who'd win a game of basketball - LeBron or Bugs? "LeBron is Mr. triple-double threat. He could do it on both sides of the ball. But Bugs Bunny has been doing it for a lot longer, maybe like 80 to 100 years now. LeBron's only been doing it professionally since what, '03?"

Klay Thompson while on set discussed which Looney Tunes character he'd have on his team: "Probably Pepe Le Pew because no one wants to go near that man, so if I'm by him, I'm going to get an open shot. That's how bad he smells. I remember that from the first one, too."

Classic Klay.

Don't expect the three-time NBA champion to become a movie star when he retires from the NBA.

Klay almost assuredly will spend his time out of the limelight.

"I'd be shocked if he sticks around the NBA scene," his father, Mychal, said last week. "He's really into the ocean, really into his boat. I could see him getting on a boat and just sailing the world -- cruising the world.

"Becoming an old sea captain in The Bahamas, and taking tourists out for excursions and stuff [laughter]. I could see him doing that. And if you've ever been to The Bahamas, you'll understand why he'd want to do it. It's the most beautiful sailing or boating water in the world.

"It's so calm and the water is so clear. It's the perfect boating atmosphere."
