He may not get headlines like Steph & KD but he is a force

When he gets hot there is literally nobody in the history of the NBA who can make shots like Klay Thompson. And when he's just shooting normally, he's the second best shooter in the league. Oh, and he is also a 1st Team All-NBA caliber defender.

Klay Thompson learns he's not all-NBA

I agree with him. He should have made it.

Rise Against

5/23/19 2:22pm

Absolutely he should have. Top-four defender among guards, an efficient

NorCal Cougar

East coast bias, plus the east is way easier than the west currently, so they

Rise Against

Over who?

gmj81

5/23/19 2:28pm

Kemba, and maybe even Kyrie.

NorCal Cougar

5/23/19 2:30pm

OK, I was thinking we were talking about first team

gmj81

5/23/19 2:31pm

No, 2nd or 3rd.

NorCal Cougar

5/23/19 2:31pm

I’m okay with Kyrie, he put up crazy numbers, but not Kemba

Josef K

5/23/19 4:31pm

Maybe it’s cause he’s a shadow to 2 better players/Warrior fatigue..

HingleMcCringleberry

Klay resigning with the warriors is the biggest slam dunk in this free agency

Josef K

*re-signing

Yup. Anyone who thinks otherwise has not paid attention to a thing both Klay and

NorCal Cougar

Let's hope he doesn't break down in tears - Draymond would not approve.

JJCoug

5/23/19 2:22pm

He was still an All-Star and 2nd-Team All-Defense . I'm sure he'll cope.

NorCal Cougar

5/23/19 2:31pm

You know it cost him a lot of money right?

Baron

5/23/19 3:14pm

Yes. $30 million over 5 years. Bummer for sure, but he'll still get $191 mil.

NorCal Cougar

5/23/19 3:15pm

Love his eyeroll about Kemba making it

Odysseus

5/23/19 2:24pm

he should go somewhere else and prove it. or stay there, win titles and miss

smokymountainrain

5/23/19 2:26pm

Those two things don't have to be mutually exclusive.

Ash

5/23/19 2:38pm

lol. that goes without saying as Curry and Durant were on 1st and 2nd team.

smokymountainrain

5/23/19 2:48pm

He’s proven it time and time again. Why would he leave the

messi

5/23/19 3:28pm

you are preaching to the choir. he shouldn't leave, but at the same time

smokymountainrain

5/23/19 4:35pm

Be happy with it, that’s funny

gwill

5/23/19 3:51pm

Sure. He's about to win a third straight title. I think he can learn to

smokymountainrain

5/23/19 5:03pm

People that play at his level are not content.

gwill

5/23/19 5:21pm

"content with winning titles" is actually what i said. And yes it is very much

smokymountainrain

5/23/19 6:29pm

I really like Klay. Class act. He deserved to make it.

WDaddy

5/23/19 2:26pm

If I could handpick one player to add to the Jazz roster, it might be Klay.

Dakota Cougar

5/23/19 2:28pm

Yep...would say the same thing about the Nuggets.

cougfanblue

5/23/19 2:32pm

If he went to the sixers, Blazers, Nuggets, Bucks, jazz they'd all be ship'

Mayor of Cougartown

5/23/19 2:32pm

Not true for a few of those teams, including the Jazz.

garyfan

5/23/19 2:35pm

ok. I think he and Steph make that thing go. People don't realize how good his

Mayor of Cougartown

5/23/19 2:46pm

My point isn’t about Klay, but rather how far away from being a legitimate

garyfan

5/23/19 4:48pm

Give me KD or Steph.

thebruce

5/23/19 2:33pm

It would be silly for me to argue Klay is better than either of them.

Dakota Cougar

5/23/19 2:38pm

That cost him $20 million. Cant get a Super Max contract now

He’s been very public about his desire to stay with the Warriors.

Duke Silver

5/23/19 3:34pm

I'd agree if it wasn't for the Luxury tax. The multiplier, especially

BeyondTheMark

5/23/19 4:49pm

He didn't have an all nba year.

Dillinger

5/23/19 2:30pm

He started slow, but earned it the rest of the year. Maybe the best two-way

NorCal Cougar

5/23/19 2:33pm

He had a good year. I would have put Beal ahead of him.

Dillinger

5/23/19 2:36pm

Why not both?

NorCal Cougar

5/23/19 2:51pm

There are only so many spots. The main gripe I have is Kyrie as 2nd team.

Dillinger

5/23/19 3:04pm

Mike Conley also averaged 21 ppg, same TS%, same rebounds, double the assists

smokymountainrain

5/23/19 2:38pm

Recency bias. He's had a pretty good playoffs.

HingleMcCringleberry

5/23/19 2:43pm

He's right. How many guards would you take over a money shooter and lockdown

Ash

5/23/19 2:35pm

Doesn't matter. All-NBA recognizes season performance, which was down for Klay

HingleMcCringleberry

5/23/19 2:44pm

In what way was he down? He had his best defensive year, scored at a high and

NorCal Cougar

5/23/19 2:51pm

In what way(s)? His TS% was the lowest it's been in 5 years, his WS/48

Bluedarts

5/23/19 3:07pm

Stats don't tell the whole story. Montrezl Harrell lead the league in FG%. Why

NorCal Cougar

5/23/19 4:55pm

How did the other guards who made it in over him do in those same areas? Also,

NorCal Cougar

5/23/19 3:17pm

I'm not going to do all the homework for you. Klay didn't have an all-NBA

BGRTHNUMEGO

5/23/19 4:04pm

LOL, making open 3's. You clearly don't watch the Warriors play. Klay shoots

Totally agree about learning this kind of stuff on camera, with a microphone in

Game Changer

5/23/19 2:47pm

He hasn't deserved it since KD joined. Klay is an afterthought on that team now.

Bluedarts

5/23/19 2:59pm

He just locked down Lillard which lead to a sweep. He is not an afterthought.

CaliWG

5/23/19 3:28pm

He absolutely is. Steph, KD, and Draymond will all be thought of as more

Bluedarts

5/23/19 3:34pm

He may not get headlines like Steph & KD but he is a force

CaliWG

5/23/19 3:47pm

Great, he's still not all NBA this year. He underperformed plain and simple.

Bluedarts

5/23/19 4:26pm

Doesn’t that hit him big with his contract or did he already secure that bump?

cougfanz

5/23/19 3:07pm

Yes, it will affect his contract.

cougfanblue

5/23/19 3:10pm

Do you know specifics? How mich will it cost him?

2018grad

5/23/19 4:11pm

$30 million

cougfanblue

5/23/19 4:13pm

So sad. I feel for him. Now he can only earn five years for $191 million.

777

5/23/19 4:18pm

I think KD joining the team cost him a lot of money...

diluigifan

5/23/19 3:11pm

That's probably true

TNT

5/23/19 3:18pm

He did not deserve to be All-NBA this year and one stat tells it all

kimdaddy35

5/23/19 4:09pm

He is nowhere to be found in any top lists of advanced stats.
