    Terry on SiriusXM NBA Radio:

    "Let’s get James Harden, move him to the side over here. He’s an A-side performer, right?

    Let’s go to the B side. The B-side performers in the NBA. That is Kawhi Leonard and Klay Thompson. Those two right there.

    B side is being a support-cast role but not really a bench player. The A Side is your superstar. It is your great player. It is your guy. That’s LeBron James, James Harden, Russell Westbrook, Stephen Curry – these guys – Chris Paul."

    Your kidding yourself...Harden is better that Klay no doubt but when you say Klay can't hold Harden's jock strap you lose all credibility! Klay is an awesome player and one of the best shooting guards in the league.

    Well, this should be obvious to anybody with at least a bit of brain working, whoever says Klay > Harden is a troll or an idiot, plain and simple...tbh though, i'm not sure you can say the same about Kawhi, i want to see how he does now that Duncan is gone, but still, i'd take Harden before him any day.

    Klay Thompson has never been in any real considerations for MVP.

    I wonder how Klay Thompson feels knowing his team can still win a championship without him on the roster. Beta ass

    Would you take him with your first pick and build a championship team around him?

    Props for Terry still respecting Harden, when I pegged him for a guy that would say otherwise. I'm looking at you, you dipshit (Parsons).

    Klay and Kawhi can't carry teams on their own. They are great players in their own right, but Harden is better than those.

    Again, props to Terry for trying to change the media narrative.

    There was a time when I strongly disliked Jason Terry. He has definitely won me over.

    Dude was shooting straight from the hip with these comments and I love it.

    Cool, maybe this will splinter the tired Klay > Harden thread, and both threads will die.

    Either that, or we rinse and repeat forever.

    Maybe he is trying to get yet another contract with the Rockets.

    Not necessarily with the Rockets, he is trying to get another contract somewhere in the league or maybe even a coaching position - you badmouth James, you won't ever get another contract as a player, or any job in the league really, ever again!!

    If Klay accepts being a Scottie Pippen (or a Ron Harper since he might not even be the 2nd best player on that team now) then that's his choice. Nothing wrong with that.

    Thompson's an amazing player. Probably on Peja's level, if not a little better. But Terry is right, he's a B level player and not a superstar. Klay has the right mentality about it though. He and Kawhi have rings, while Harden, Westbrook, and Durant don't, even after playing together for years.
