"It's a beautiful day, about to yak to practice. It's nice, no wind, calm waters, sun shining, ain't no complaints," Thompson said.

Thompson shared a video Friday of himself knocking down 12 consecutive 3-pointers without jumping in the Chase Center practice facility.

The five-time NBA All-Star dearly misses being able to play alongside Steph Curry and the Warriors as he misses his second consecutive full season, but it's comforting to know he has "no complaints" as he cruises over to San Francisco.
