Mychal Thompson acts like he forgot about Klay.

After LeBron James was ejected for the first time in his storied career Tuesday night, Thompson, a mainstay on several of the Lakers' 1980s championship teams and a current broadcaster, offered his thoughts about the drawbacks of banishing marquee players.

Surprisingly, even though Thompson cited Warriors stars Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant, he failed to mention his own son, three-time All-Star and scaffolding aficionado Klay Thompson. A helpful respondent drew attention to the notable omission.

Thompson, one of the funnier former players on Twitter, feigns uncertainty about his progeny's star wattage. However, since his son has already matched his pop's two championship rings by age 27 - and stands a good chance to add to his trophy case this season - it appears Klay will eventually have the last laugh.
