Golden State Warriors President of Basketball Operations Bob Myers gives us updates on Klay Thompson's injury, some insight into the 2020 draft, and attempts to identify a surprise, hilarious photo of himself, all on the "With Authority" podcast.

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- The Warriors President of Basketball Operations Bob Myers returns to ABC7's "With Authority" podcast!

With the coming return of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, plus a top 5 pick in the lottery, we also find out if the Warriors are ready to "bum rush" the NBA next season.

Myers goes on to give insight into Klay Thompson's recovery process from his torn ACL.

In possibly the best moment of the show, which is hard because there are so many great ones, is when Larry tries to get to the bottom of one of the funniest photos of Myers.

If you love the Warriors, you'll love this episode.
