In the summer of 2017, during a promotional tour for Anta—the shoe and apparel company he endorses—Klay Thompson transformed into "China Klay." Now, during another go-round in China, that beloved character is back.
Thompson had promised China Klay was on the way.

He did some drumming.
You may think tonight you're having more fun than #ChinaKlay, but it's not even 4p over there for him 🥁
