Warriors sharpshooter Klay Thompson talks teaming up with Stephen Curry and beating Jordan Poole in a 3-point contest

The Golden State Warriors have begun their title defense, at least in spirit. Yesterday, they faced the Washington Wizards in Tokyo, Japan for the NBA Games in Japan. The Warriors have fun in Tokyo, exploring the city between games and practices.

Klay Thompson has had a good time, wandering around the city, soaking up the culture.

Sadly, this is all fans would ever see of Klay in Japan. According to sources, Klay would not be playing in the NBA Games in Japan. No problem, but the team management decided it was better to relax him, especially after his two and a half years of injury.

However, that doesn’t mean he would miss out on the opportunity to shoot.

Klay Thompson reflects on ‘humiliating’ Jordan Poole in 3-point contest

Even though Klay did not play in the two games at Saitama Super Arena, no limitation has been placed on his shooting. The teams had mini dunk contests and 3-point shooting contests to entertain the fans.

After the contest, Klay was obviously excited. They asked him about the contest. He talked about how much he loved shooting with Steph on his team. He then talked about the chip on his shoulder due to the disrespect he has been receiving. The man then joked about how much fun he had had humiliating Jordan Poole.

If Thompson can find his shot hit before the season starts, it would silence all enemies and put the Dubs in a great position to defend their title.
