Rocco, the beloved dog of former Golden State Warriors star and Bay Area legend Klay Thompson, has passed away after 13 years of life. Mychal Thompson announced the passing of one of Thompson’s closest companions on the ESPN-LA’s Mason & Ireland show. “As Mase and Ireland always say, when someone dear has departed, ‘Hail fellow, well met.’ We had to put Rocco, Klay’s dog, down over the weekend,” Thompson shared with the rest of the radio hosts. Thompson went on to say that “it was time.” “We were all sad, but Rocco had a great long life,” the elder Thompson said. -via Clutch Points / May 29, 2025
