Warriors' Thompson: I'm the best SG in NBA

[Tr1boy]

I still scratch my head at why people think it a surprised that when posed the question a player wouldn't pick himself as the best.

Such a non-story and something to definitely not get worked up over.

Imo the better way is to stay humble ,name someone else but don't claim you are yourself. How full of it are you to do that?


Always keep working on your game , strive to improve.

Agree. It's a non story for us, but what it does is it puts an even more brighter target on your back, and on your team.

I get that he's competitive and he want's to be the best against his competition, but being humble goes a long way.

What's wrong with "I think I'm one of the best", or "I'm working to be the best", or "I'm right there with the top SG's in the NBA". That's a far better answer for this question. Those doesn't put a ton of pressure for yourself and your team, and you and your team avoid media and fan backlash, like what's happening now.

Exactly. 

[csfansince60s]

Harden has taken quite a bit of heat this year and his defense is also sub-par, but he should still be #1. His scoring is superb and he almost had his Houston team in the finals on his back alone - GS has had a LOT more help, even outside of Curry. There are also many who thought Harden deserved the MVP award last year- Thompson wasn't even close to being in that conversation.

And between Klay and Butler, I would take Butler. But all of this is pretty irrelevant - the guy should believe he is the best SG. Pierce thought he was the best, Rondo thought he was the best - it's important to have confidence in yourself even if it's a little exaggerated.

TP...agree with it all.

[ManUp]

Harden is top.

Number 2 is up for debate.

I think Thompson is very capable of averaging 20+ on another team.

[Tr1boy]

I don't think so.  If KT is the primary focus. He is avg to below average rim finisher.  Mediocre 1 on 1 player.   He is fed a ton of passes with open looks

I would have to agree overall Harden is better than Thompson. In terms of who you want on your team/leadership/overall package I would have to say Jimmy Butler

Okay, that's where you're a bit off. Klay is a good finisher around the rim (trust me, I know, I've seen every game he played since he got drafted).

He can be a two way, 20+ PPG player for sure, but he hasn't shown that he can be a reliable 1st option because Curry is on the team. He has not faced double teams like Harden or his mate Steph to prove that he can still post that kind of numbers with that kind of efficiency.

But he can average 20+ if you give him around 17-20 shots, easy.

When you're a champion, you do get put on a pedastal.

More importantly, who cares? It's just one guy's opinion.

Whether or not Thompson is the "best", he certainly is up there amongst the best 2-way guards in the league.

What? lol

It's not a smart move. In addition he is not the best SG in the league.  Let Curry take a sit for a few games. Lets see how much room he will have to work with

But again WHO CARES? This is seriously nothing to get worked up over. My point is, players do this all the time when they win a championship. Are you seriously telling me you're going to hold it against Paul Pierce because he claimed he was the best player in the world after the Celtics won the championship in 2008? I love the Truth but I think we all know he wasn't the best player in the league when the Celtics won. But hey, the guy's entitled to his opinion and he had the right to say it because he was a champion. Just like Klay Thompson. Oh well, time to move on.

Mario Chalmers claimed he was a top 10 point guard in the league after the Heat won in 2012. STOP THE PRESSES!

When did PP say this? 

don't care if it's our own PP. You have KG, Ray Allen on your team. You can't say that. Makes no sense

I don't care about KT or what he says to be honest. 
But the truth is he is not the best, #1 SG in the league.   Bottom line

Click on the link to see when Pierce said this. That's the point of the link. Duh?

Uh yes Pierce absolutely can because everyone's entitled to an opinion triboy and there's nothing you can do about it. Heck what you just said about KT not being the best, that's an opinion, not a fact. Whether or not you like it. I'm not saying I disagree with your opinion on him as a player. I don't think he is the best 2-guard in the league, but I find no issue with him claiming he's the best because I've seen plenty of players say that before and he is on the reigning NBA champion.

And clearly you care about what he says. If you didn't, you wouldn't make a thread about this and  talk about how appalled you are by his words. You clearly care triboy don't backtrack.

I care because it's not the truth. The #1 reason.  If Lebron said this, you would I would be popping up the thread? I dislike Lebron but the truth is he is the best SF in the league. He has earned the right to say this. But even he won't

There are some things are easily acceptable. Such as Lebron is the best SF, Curry is the best pure shooter, De andre Jordan has the highest max vertical reach.   

Klay Thompson claiming he is the best SG in the league on the other hand is not the truth.

Klay Thompson claiming he is the best SG in the league on the other hand is not the truth.  Is not an opinion

Okay. Clearly you do not fully grasp what an opinion is. Let's compare an opinion to a fact because you're getting the two mixed up. A fact is "an actual experience/observation". An opinion is "a belief or judgment that rests on grounds insufficient to produce complete certainty". So an opinion is basically how someone feels about a fact that isn't necessarily true. Let's apply this to politics.

Fact: Barack Obama is the president of the United States
Now, the general feeling right now by the public is that Barack Obama is a bad president. Now I don't know much about politics and I have no opinion on this but I know this is a public opinion right now. Not everyone agrees with this about Obama but quite a few do.

Now, as for your "facts". I hate to break it to you, and I don't disagree, but they are all opinion outside of Jordan. I do agree that Lebron is the league's best SF, but not everyone agrees with us because that's just an opinion and there are more options to be argued. Thunder fans probably believe Durant is the league's best SF. Spurs fans could argue that Kawhi is the league's best or Pacers fans with George. Do I believe that those fans are mistaken, yup, but there's no facts there to absolutely prove Lebron is the best. There are only numbers to back up our belief that Lebron is the best.

It's basically this: Quantity, like the numbers, is factual. Quality, like what we see on the screen, is debatable.

Facts about Lebron would be he is 6'8'', plays for the Cleveland Cavaliers, has been the MVP 4 times, has been to the finals 6 times, and has won 2 NBA championships. Opinions about Lebron would be he's the best player in the league, he doesn't deserve his NBA championships, and he came too early into the NBA. Those are opinions that some, but not all, share. That is what is an opinion is because not everyone agrees.

Anyway, back to the matter at hand. Klay Thompson being the best 2-guard in the league is an opinion, not a fact. It's his opinion, and he has the right to say what he wants because we live in America, not Nazi Germany. Now clearly you disagree, and I agree with your assessment on Thompson (and I've already made that clear). However, you claiming that him not being the best 2-guard in the league being the "truth" is without a doubt incorrect because truth is stemmed from an absolute fact. What you think of Klay is your opinion. It's not a fact, and that is because we are judging the "quality" of Klay Thompson. You want to believe Thompson's not the best 2 guard in the league. Cool by me. I'm not outraged. Just to let you know, Klay Thompson disagrees with you. Just like you disagree with him.

Lecture over.

IF you don't really care what he says, why do you care what others say? ponder on this for a sec

And Lebron is the best SF and Curry is the best pure shooter in the league. Quantifiable or not

[max215]

This is what you get when a team lucks into the championship.

The GSW chip should have an asterisk, and the MVP should be given to Kevin Olynyk.

Love and Kyrie play that final and LBJ delivers his promise to Cleveland in 5 games.

I seriously hope this is a joke. They went 67-15 in the regular season and were one of the most dominant teams of all time. Calling them any more lucky than any other champion ever is ridiculous.

oh man, I don't even know where to begin with what you posted. 

You basically proven my point in a passive way.   Obama is the president and you said that is a fact.

So tell me how did he become the president?  Because he won majority of the votes.  Those votes came from individuals with an opinion that he was best suited to run the country.

Lets go back to claiming Lebron as the #1 sf in the league.  First of all, how many people are going to go against this claim?  There are so many things (skills,domination today as well consider -- records, stats, rings, what happened in Cleveland when he was younger) vs who we can compare him (other sfs) that play the game today to come to a conclusion that he is the best SF in the league.   Again if there was a mass voting done, the result would be Lebron is the best overall SF in the nba today. 

You can get technical and state well we don't know , until such a voting was done. But come on, that is just a silly argument/lawyer nonsense buy time defense.
