Klay Thompson: HOF

[LongTimeListener]

No question mark. I slept on it for a night to make sure.

He's in.

 

[poindexter]

Remember how Reggie Miller would take seven mini steps to get his feet planted?
Klay Thompson's footwork is perfect every time.

 

[TigerVols]

That shot he made to put them ahead? Off the long pass off the quick turnover? Absolute thing of beauty that seemed to completely defy all laws of physics.

Yep. And there's also that little matter of defense, at which Thompson is superb, but Miller rather awful.

Thompson often seems to get compared to Reggie Miller, but I think it quite a flawed comparison. The only thing Reggie was better at was being famous and attracting media attention. Thompson is the far better all around player.

 

[Gator]

People are being serious? He's in right now? Like, for real?

Put up the ? HOFers don't **** the bed in Game 7s like Klay is doing.

Good call.

 

[Tweener]

How about Draymond Green? Dude was second team all-league and has been trash in this series. Klay at least kept the season alive in Game 6.

Curry and Thompson are the two best NBA shooters of all time. They have revolutionized the game.

If the Warriors do make their push for Durant and succeed, consider that Thompson will be the guy you leave open and hope for the best.

 

[TheSportsPredictor]

I'll take Larry Bird in best shooters of all time.

 

[Dick Whitman]

If Thompson is in, Kyle Korver should have his own wing.

 

[poindexter]

If Thompson is in, Kyle Korver should have his own wing.

The guy who could muster one whole shot attempt in a playoff game this year? Nice try, Troll-****.

[Dick Whitman]

Bad night. He's led the league in 3-point shooting percentage three times. How many times has Steph Curry led it?

 

[LongTimeListener]

Sorry poin, percentage says Korver. Really no difference between completely uncontested three-pointer and one with Durant in your face.

Troll-**** does get tiresome after a bit, though.

 

[Stoney]

By **** logic Tim Legler, Steve Kerr, Steve Novak and Jason Kapono must be Hall of Famers, after all, they're all time top 10 in 3 percentage.

This is like people falling for Manky BS.

This is like people falling for Manky BS.

I tried to resist, but it's a little bit fun anyway.

Some of the arguments **** puts out there on baseball threads would suggest he's all in on this Korver thing, though. I suppose that's masterful trolling.

 

[Dick Whitman]

The Korver comment was actually meant as a bald-faced joke.
