Is Klay Thompson overrated?

Revived · Post #141 » by **Revived** » Thu Dec 31, 2015 3:20 am

Quite frankly, I just don't think he's anything more than an above average starter without Curry.

Klay should give Steph the bonus he gets for making the All Star team because Klay wouldn't be making any All Star teams if it wasn't for Curry drawing so much attention and giving him so many open looks.

Still a very good defender imo but I'm just talking about offense. You guys may disagree with me on this but this is my opinion from an outsider's perspective.

Klay Thompson made All NBA team, yeah he is overrated.

He's been overrated for a long while now.

Care to support that opinion? Again, far less efficient scorer than Klay (playing in the weaker east), about the same as a playmaker and a bit better defensively. I don't see 10x in that.

Okay...how about 5 times better? Or even 3 times better? :lol:

Anyone that rips on Klay in this thread after his bad game today will have to eat and then post a gif of themselves eating a giant pink ribbed dildo the next time Klay blasts a team for 35 in 3 quarters.

And before he blasts a team for 35 points in 3 quarters, he'll have 10 quarters of MEH.

What good does that do us, exactly?

The whole team benefits from playing with Steph. Not sure why Klay is being singled out. Klay, Green, Iguodala, Bogut, ect. are all complimentary pieces to the star. None of those guys can be a #1 option for any stretch of time.

When he doesn't have a playmaker next to him, his strengths aren't utilized and his weaknesses surface. He'll always provide stellar 1 on 1 defense however.

He's been great lately. If you had watched their last several games you'll know that, and this game was a bad game from an entire team missing 3-4 of their best players, including their MVP.

Overreactions FTL.

Klay's gf is hogging that pink rubbed dildo after he gets her all wet anticipating his great performance, then got blown out early going 4/15.

Not sure this dumpage is fair....Two things are true. He can be an amazing scorer when he's on....and he can look completely lost when he's off.

Warriors played tonight with NO point guard. Livingston doesn't penetrate, stretch the floor...so spacing was a nightmare.

So...horrid game by Klay....horrid game by the entire team. I think it was a total lack of point guard leadership that started it all tonight...

Making the All NBA teams excludes players from being overrated ever?

Good to know.

I wonder if he would even be on the ballot if he doesn't play with Curry.

That's why I think this team desperately needs a backup PG. Liv is great, but we need a guy that is Steph-lite to keep the game rolling along in the style we play.

Players like Darren Collison, Jerryd Bayless, Isaiah Canaan and Patty Mills would all do the trick. We need a creator that can still stretch the floor.

There are a few posters on this board that have a hard on for Klay. They stay hidden under their rocks for most of the year and slither out when Klay has a bad game. Whatever gets them off. Sad little lives.

And you should still be getting killed for it because it's really dumb.

I agree with Coxy's dildo take.

He ain't overrated....the guy is probably one of the best if not the best two way 2 in nba. who else can shoot lights out like him and play D also? closest one would probably be jimmy but he ain't got the range like klay does. He do need to step up to the plate though now that curry's out.

He needs someone to work with. He actually had tremendous cheistry with Lee, but unfortunately for him Curry is the only player left in the team that knows how to score.
