Last season, the Warriors had a team ping pong tournament.
And after practice on Thursday, Steve Kerr shared the following story.
"Klay won the player's (ping pong) tournament and talked a lot of trash. He even said to Federer the other day -- Federer was taking questions -- I said, ‘Any of you guys have questions?' And Klay goes, ‘Yeah, how's your ping pong game?'
Sports
"Federer said his ping pong game is pretty nice and Klay said, ‘So is mine.' Felt like there was a little bit of a challenge there (laughter)."
Federer got wind of this and took to Twitter on Friday morning:
Sounds like a challenge to me @KlayThompson 😉 https://t.co/5ZhDBe5JN1— Roger Federer (@rogerfederer) October 13, 2017
We'll let you know if Federer and Klay ever face off in ping pong...
