Klay Thompson

A nightmare to defend on offense, Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson is also capable of taking on the game’s brightest perimeter stars on the other end as well. Motivated to perform against the NBA’s then-reigning champions, Thompson takes on the tough task of checking Milwaukee Bucks All-Star Khris Middleton, sticking to his hip on a hesitation dribble before keeping pace and swatting away a layup attempt. Thompson was in postseason form early, putting together a scorching-hot 38-point, six-rebound, five-assist night along with eight three-pointers, a steal and a block in the 122-109 win on March 12, 2022.
