Klay Thompson: I'd Rather Win Championship Than Make Third Team All-NBA

[RealGM Wiretap]

Klay Thompson found out he wasn't an All-NBA selection and won't be eligible for a supermax contract this offseason during his media availability on Thursday.

“When you go to five straight Finals, it takes more than a couple All-NBA guys," said Thompson. "Whatever. I'd rather win a championship than make Third Team All-NBA."

Thompson was then asked how he felt about contract amounts being determined by All-NBA voting.

"Do I think there are that many guards better than me in the league? No.”

Klay Thompson learns he didn’t make All-NBA (“Oh I didn’t?”) and is clearly a little ticked (it affects his next contract): “When you go to five straight Finals, it takes more than a couple All-NBA guys...Do I think there are that many guards better than me? No.” pic.twitter.com/bW5DiBavo1

I think I could make Klay cry. He’s such a fcking baby. He almost cried during the postgame interview in the 2016 okc series when they lost a game.

Klay feeling the effects of Durant being on the team, huge hit on his wallet.

Yup I would rather have a guy like Harden who went straight to a strip club after losing a playoff series!

Consequence of being on the most stacked team ever and recruiting Durant..
