LOS ANGELES – On his way over here, Warriors guard Stephen Curry asked Klay Thompson a simple question.
Does Thompson plan to practice before competing in the NBA 3-point competition on Saturday as part of NBA All-Star weekend?
“He said no,” Curry said. “So I’m taking Klay. That means he’s going to be locked in.”
It also means that Thompson has perfected his outside shooting stroke pretty well through his seventh NBA season. NBA TV analyst and former NBA points guard Isiah Thomas also considers Thompson the favorite to win against a field that features Eric Gordon (Rockets), Bradley Beal (Wizards), Paul George (Thunder), Kyle Lowry (Raptors), Devin Booker (Suns), Wayne Ellington (Heat) and Tobias Harris (Clippers).
