Klay Thompson points to 'redemption season' in Miami

Which is exactly why the four-time champion and future Hall of Famer wanted to join the Heat , Thompson said at his introductory press conference, via the Associated Press .

"It's kind of a redemption season for me to show I can still make an impact on winning and do it consistently," Thompson said. "I can't wait to get to work. It's pretty surreal being here. But what an honor it is....

"I've tasted winning before and there's really nothing like it. The opportunity to win again at a very high level was so attractive to me."
