He was not named to the NBA all star team.

9 for 9 from 3 point line!

It would be interesting to make up an all time SONS OF GUYS WHO PLAYED IN THE ASSOCIATION all star team.

Kobe is #1.
Thompson made the team last night.

IDK about that! Ive been to a few NBA practices and those guys DO NOT MISS. Its unreal and it blows my mind they only shoot in the 40%s during games.

Yeah, that guy was wrong about that. I heard an interview with some random average guard who never left practice until he ended with 10 straight swishes from three. He said it once took him an hour cause he was off one day.

I remember watching Keith Van Horn warm up before an NCAA tournament game, and at one point I counted 23 makes in a row...not all threes, mind you...but it was like watching a robot.

The majority of NBA players would shoot 80% in a rec league game. Without players with real length and athleticism guarding them, these guys would all have field days.

Yeah. That's just stupid. The only tangible that Thompson has over Curry is size.

It's not as outlandish as you think. It's not like a Jordan Pippen difference. I watch every Warriors game and I have held this belief for a long time. dude is a really, really great baller. Both of them are great- no question. Both had parents in the league. We can talk in a few years. Klay is legit- as is Steph.

You are way undervaluing Curry's ability to score and run an offense at the same time. Just listen to Klay talk about Steph. He knows that Steph is better, and he is clearly very thankful to be playing with him.

Like I said- let's revisit in a few years. they are both amazing. I like Klay's size and execution.

I'm okay with that. Players improve. Just look at Harden and Durant. Most people would still take Durant, but it is WAY closer than it once was.

if Steph picks up his defense, i will be wrong. but Klay is better on that side of the ball.

Maybe Cleveland should have gone for Klay instead of Love.

If you switched Harden and Durant right now, the Rockets would be worse because we don't have a great point guard.

Did you not watch what Durant did without Westbrook last season?
