NBA player’s dad cuts his allowance

Golden State Warriors rookie Klay Thompson might not have thought about the repercussions after he got into a fight during Tuesday night’s game against the Indiana Pacers, one of which was that his father would take away his allowance.

In addition to the National Basketball Association’s fine against Thompson, 23, for $35,000, his father and former NBA player Mychal Thompson told ESPN Radio that the “dumb” action would cost his son.

Thompson’s paychecks are made out to his father and mother, who are managing his finances.

Mychal Thompson said he will understand the repercussions, when “he sees that cash envelope show up a little short this week.”

“I was like ‘you idiot’!” Mychal Thompson said about his son. More here.

So do/did you give your kids an allowance?
