Klay Thompson cannot miss a shot whatsoever! The Golden State Warriors are off to a boiling start at San Francisco, that too against the defending champs Denver Nuggets. Well, thanks to the 34-year-old sniper who already has 20+ points in the first half. The most impressive part is that Thompson is doing all of this off the bench. Well, the internet couldn’t help but give the 4-time champion his flowers, despite a problematic season.

Klay Thompson was subbed out with 5 minutes left in the second quarter, but he had played just 14 minutes to give the Warriors a dominant lead. In such a short time, Thompson dropped 23 points, shooting 5/9 from the three-point line and some of it were nearly 40ft deep. Well, that’s typical of him, but it has been a long time since Warriors buffs witnessed this. This season has not been a great run for Thompson so far. There have been a few games where he has recorded some impressive stats, but most of them showcased his inefficiency.

This was the very reason he was pushed to the bench, but it looks like he views it as an opportunity. While most would not be happy to perform as a sixth man, Thompson wants to give his best for the Warriors. Fans want more of this now after his performance today.
