The offseason is the perfect time for athletes to get out of the spotlight and do their own thing, whatever that may be.

That said, in this day and age there's almost no way for an athlete to stay out of the spotlight as there are always cameras out in public or at an event and it's incredibly easy to upload a photo to social media.

The photo(s) were focusing on in this article are of Klay Thompson and upon seeing them, you'll understand why they are our focus.

Yes, Thompson got rid of his goatee and now has a beard.  It's a very different look for Thompson, but we think it suits him well!

 

 

I appreciate the birthday love DubNation! And the birthday W!!

The new look might take some getting used to for some fans, but we don't think it will be much of an adjustment, that is if Thompson actually decides to keep the beard.
