One of the greatest shooters of all time is Klay Thompson. Clearly, Thompson has a fantastic jump shot and shooting form. Stephen Curry, his teammate and the other half of the Splash Brothers, mentioned this during a recent appearance on “Hot Ones,” therefore we’re not saying it. Curry even went so far as to suggest that young people should learn his shooting technique since it is textbook-perfect.
“I’d say his is more repeatable for the average person,” Curry said. “What I mean by that is it’s more kind of uniform from the ground up. You get your balance from the feet and then your power from the base and you work your way up from there. ” “So, he has like the most stacked kind of form. Like everything’s in line, all of his angles are right. And like if I was gonna take somebody who’s never shot a ball before and put a ball in your hand I would put you in Klay Thompson’s positions.”
Curry was not through. He continued by saying that Klay Thompson’s jump shot was the most beautiful he had ever seen.
“Everybody shoots differently,” Curry added. “Like all the greatest shooters in the league, we all have different releases of different forms, but Klay’s is the one that if you just took a snapshot, it’s just right here, it’s just extreme, it’s pretty. I call it the prettiest jump shot I’ve ever seen.”
Klay Thompson is a skilled shooter, but Stephen Curry is widely recognized as the best of all time. In several games, Thompson has occasionally overshadowed Curry.
With 14 three-pointers, Thompson now owns the record for the most in a single game. The record for the most points scored in a game without making a single two-point shot belongs to Klay as well. In 2023, Thompson defeated the Rockets, scoring 42 points while making 12 three-pointers.
Klay Thompson, according to Gilbert Arenas, is the most dangerous player in the NBA when he is hot
When he’s on a roll, Klay Thompson can be as deadly as any player can be. There are numerous instances of it, such as Thompson’s 60-point performance against the Indiana Pacers over the course of three quarters. Gilbert Arenas, a former NBA player, recently expressed his opinions on Klay Thompson. According to Arenas, no player is more dangerous than Thompson when he’s on a roll.
“When hot, I pick Klay. Out of the three, it’s hard to control his hot because he doesn’t need the ball. He scored 60-something points with just 11 dribbles. When he gets hot, he’s more dangerous because he’s moving. It’s hard to double someone who is coming off screens.”
Thompson scored 60 points in a game with just 11 dribbles, as Arenas previously indicated. Over the years, Thompson has set a number of amazing records. Will he be able to maintain that level of play in the 2023–24 NBA season? He is after all 33 years old.
