BTS Suga’s Meeting With Golden State Warriors’ Klay Thompson Is Going Viral For Hilarious Reasons
BTS‘s Suga is the latest member of Dub Nation, so he is meeting all the Golden State Warriors players.
Anyone who knows Suga (his stage name is actually derived from his position as “shooting guard”) knows he loves basketball. His favorite pastime is watching the NBA. So, he has shown love for teams, such as Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, Portland Trail Blazers, etc.
Now, he has formed a close connection with the Golden State Warriors, the unofficial K-Pop fan club of the NBA, as it includes NCT‘s Chenle, Mark, and Yuta and, of course, GOT7‘s BamBam, who is the team’s global ambassador. Suga traveled to Japan for the Warriors’ match against the Washington Wizards at the NBA Japan Games.

Yet, his interaction with Bahamian American shooting guard Klay Thompson is going viral. The NBA shared several photos of the two together.
The original post above has over 706K likes at the time of writing, and ARMYs are reposting the photos as many find them humorous. The first photo has been compared to the iconic meme from the U.S. version of The Office.

The second photo really has ARMYs laughing as it enhances the size difference of the men. It was taken in such a way that Klay appears even bigger, and Suga, who is always relatively small, seems like a kid’s size.
