Klay Thompson’s vertical isn’t what it once was.

That’s what the Warriors star had to say while explaining his now viral collision with a fan at the team’s championship parade last month in San Francisco.

“I tried to do a little hop, skip and a jump, and my vert ain’t as high as it used to be a few years ago, so I went stumbling, man,” Thompson said during an appearance on the latest episode of his teammate Andre Iguodala’s “Point Forward” podcast. “But I was just grateful she was there. She really threw me the best assist I’ve had in weeks. I was going down.”

Thompson was captured on video last month barreling over a woman and knocking her to the ground while running through the crowd during the parade festivities. The four-time NBA champion quickly turned and leaned down to help the woman up off the confetti-filled ground.

The Warriors returned to the Bay Area to party after they beat the Celtics in six games to win their fourth title in eight years.
