Above The Waves Klay Thompson: Documentary takes a look into Thompson's rehab

Above The Waves features short clips of doctor consultations and Thompson's workouts at Oakland’s Laney College along with his interviews about the situation. Thompson states that he had felt his knee shift, which had never happen before. Though it was very frustrating, Thompson stated that he gave the series and season his heart.

The Warriors star admitted that the 'psychological hurdles' are going to be more difficult to overcome. However, he is eager to prove everyone wrong about the Warriors, who were at the bottom of the league this season. Thompson believes it is a good motivation to have.

Thompson was averaging 21.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.4 last season while shooting 46.6% from the field, 40.2% from the three-point range and 81.6% from the free-throw line. While most fans have liked the short film, some have criticised it for not taking a deeper look into his rehab process. The film was created by Translation, and directed by Floyd Russ alongside his creative production partner, Tool of North America.
