Klay Thompson is once again doing a tour of China, the country where he seems to get sapped of all his basketball-playing ability. While he hasn’t appeared to have humiliated himself dunking, after his very sad attempt last year, this time Thompson got owned at his chosen speciality—shooting.
Here is a thing that happens way too often in the NBA: Two teams with stars at the same position face each other and, instead of the cool stars checking each other, so that they are competing directly at both ends of the floor, the coaches assign various other designated defenders to do the job of getting crossed-over…
Klay Thompson doesn’t have too many ugly nights these days. It’s easy enough to isolate the one so far this postseason: On Sunday, he shot 4-of-16 from the field and logged a -18 plus-minus in the Warriors’ sole loss to the Spurs. It was a reminder that the league’s best offense can still sputter out from time to…
Remember when Klay Thompson put his dance moves on display in China over the summer? Well, he was at it again at Steph Curry’s birthday party last night. At one point, Thompson appeared to be wearing only socks, which might have helped him with some of his moves but likely was also a contributing factor in why he…
The man has a point. Follow Klay Thompson and check out your scaffolding before you stroll.
The fight last night between Draymond Green and Bradley Beal was mostly two guys hugging each other very hard, first in a standing position, and later while laying on the ground. But that doesn’t mean there were no punches landed! No, indeed, here is a very strong overhand left from young Kelly Oubre, directly to the…
An unnamed dog bravely stepped up to the challenge of guarding Golden State Warriors human Klay Thompson today. With some sharp instincts and a quick step, he effectively rattled Thompson enough to cause him to miss at least one shot:
Klay Thompson appears to have spent most of his offseason tour of China dancing like a maniac, but he also found the time to make everyone laugh with a very ill-fated dunk attempt.
The NBA is just as interesting for the trades that don’t get done as the ones that do, and this is an especially fascinating what-if: Before shipping Paul George to Oklahoma City (which was wild and surprising enough), the Pacers reached out to the Golden State Warriors and proposed a blockbuster one-for-one.
Klay Thompson has enjoyed more on his trip to China than just rim-checking himself to hell. He also enjoyed at least one night of being extremely hype at a club of some sort, showing off some pretty creative moves and seemingly not caring at all about what anyone else might think:
Show them the skills that have made you a rich and famous basketball man, Klay:
Sometimes you’re just digging around in your bag of platitudes, and you come up empty-handed.
Exactly halfway through the third quarter against the Trail Blazers last night, the Warriors were down by 14 points. After four more minutes of play, they had a two-point lead, and from there, they didn’t look back.
Everyone knows that Steph Curry likes to have a little fun during pregame warmups, shooting balls from the tunnel and whatnot. Before last night’s game against the Pistons, he set up what appeared to be an imaginary field goal attempt or soccer free kick, only to be thwarted by an oblivious Klay Thompson.
What was most striking about Klay Thompson’s 60-point beatdown of the Indiana Pacers tonight was how easy it all was. The Warriors already had one of the best offenses in NBA history last season and they replaced their worst starter with a former MVP during the offseason, so the amount of available space that their…
The Warriors are on pace to finish the season with the best offensive efficiency in NBA history, thanks primarily to the pyrotechnical shooting prowess of Steph Curry and Kevin Durant. Klay Thompson started the season out slowly, but tonight he broke all the way out and scored 40 points in the first half of the…
LeBron James, omnipotent shot blocker and NBA champion, loves Halloween. He had a bunch of his Cavs teammates over this weekend, and they all committed to full-on costumes (especially Iman Shumpert). James also used the occasion to stomp all over the Warriors once again in true Halloween spirit. A Cleveland DJ who…
The NBA season is starting more or less right now. What better way to kick the proceedings off than to enjoy TNT’s Charles Barkley offering his first astounding take of the year.
Klay Thompson was briefly removed from Game 3 of the NBA Finals after a collision with Cavs center Timofey Mozgov left him with a contusion on his left thigh. After the game, Thompson was still annoyed about how things went down:
