Seriously? He's the most explosive scorer even ahead of Curry. 60 points in 29 mins. Never averaged below 40% for 3 pointers in his entire career. He's probably also the best defender among them. Are you looking at a different list?
Look at the full guard rotation. Paul/Harden/Gordon gotta be number 1. Curry/Klay/Livingston/McCaw is probably 2
Absolutely. On paper, yes, far and away, best ever. In reality, add MDA into the mix and see him work serious magic with the best backcourt ever. Nobody coaches PG's as well as MDA. Now he has the two best assist guys in the league?! Watch out, world. This team is coming to get you.
we could potentially have the best backcourt if harden can delete that disgusting bird nest on his face.
You want to delete his external slave CPU,GPU,AI system, communication center, AR projector? You want to hide those in a hoodie like Melo?
The Rockets' backcourt has two greats, all the others have one great and a very good, at the most. 1) Rockets : Two All-Time Greats 2) Warriors : One All-Time Great, One Very Good 3) Washington: One Great, One Very Good 4)Portland: One Very Good, One Good 4) Toronto: One Very Good, One Good
He has a lithium battery and daughterboard in there too. I think everything can be replaced with a new applewatch in a hoodie. I think that's how melo got so good in his hoodie
OUR GUARDS ARE FINE.......IT'S OUR FORWARDS THAT WORRY ME; ARIZA AND ANDERSON. YIKES! WE NEED AT LEAST ONE TOP 10-15 FORWARD
Even in his 60 point game, he touched the ball for like only a minute . All the shots were created for him and he just had to spot up and shoot it. Klay can't really create his own shot, and he's the only person on that list who can't.
But, ironically, it's a pretty accurate representation of the night. I can't remember the exact number, but the amount of time he held the ball was ridiculously! Short. Legit, could have been under a minute of time of possession. It was all catch and shoot, which he is phenomenal at, but that's literally it. Edit: It was actually 90 total seconds of possession. here you go for evidence. @YOLO @Phreak3 https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.sb...y-thompson-highlights-stats-scoring-60-points
Doesn't really matter though. Nobody puts the ball in the bucket but him. If it' was that easy to score we would see guys do it all the time, especially ones that never seen a shot they didn't like. Just bc he gets his pts differently doesn't make him A non scorer. Bc he is one and is just as capable of going off on any given night as the best scorers in the world. That's proven Thompson is definitely not the worst player on OP's list. Again not even close.
I'm not saying he's the worst on the list, nor that he isn't a proven scorer. What I am saying is he possessed the ball for an extremely short amount of time that game. I do think he is extremely overrated tho
That is his role. It's his big advantage that he only need to touch the ball for a second before scoring. He would be a great fit next to Harden. Pass it to him and cash in before you know it.
