@@user-wv2qd1vs2h I'm not really sure what you're trying to say, but Thompson is an elite defender. Also an amazing 3 point shooter. He's like a 2 way- sharpshooter. If you're saying anything other than that, then C'mon man
2 completely different players. Kd is a 7 ft sharp shooter who can pull up on anyone easy, kd needs no athleticism needed whatsoever to do what he does.
Love the defense series. Keep it coming and please upload some Rudy Gobert defensive highlights. Klay just doing Klay things here. Warriors blessed to have this man alongside Steph.
Easily Most 3-and-D players are generally are really just high quality role players like Tucker, Crowder and Green Klay is the only one who specifically has that role that will be inducted to the HOF
Klay's defense awareness is actually good. Another interesting thing about Klay is that calm nature of his which makes him very deadly as a defender. Curry is the opposite or rather a different style of defense. It's rare for players to put the effort in to defend during the game.
If he is "fantastic" 1 on 1 then team wise he would be best, because he now limits there options to only 4 players offensively. Most of the time he has the opponent's best player
@@LesterDiamond007 no it doesn't work that way sorry to tell you, he ball watches and falls asleeo sometimes when his man doesn't have the ball, Steph isnthe reverse that's why they're such a good defensive backcourt, he's a slightly above average one on one defender, but a great team defender
@@amidgrid8662 so you must have missed the 2016 finals, whoever curry was guarding set a pick for lebron so he would have curry on him and back him down.....steph was the weak link defensively.
@@LesterDiamond007 every PG in the league other than Ben Simmons gonna get backed down by Lebron, and he was the weakest link individually, most of the time when playing together they would pre switch or get the ball out of lebron's hands immediately when they could, Steph is an average defender one on one , but he's one of the better team defenders we have ever seen due to his IQ on both ends of the court
see that, he just walking everytime blocking a shot, his not even trying or run through it,its all about the mind he is absolutly right on that commercial
Oh, that first play demoralizing Mr. Booker... the dark side of basketball. Klay knows exactly when & where to stop or steal the ball. Reflexes and grace of a cat. Teams pay when they underestimate Klay. 💙🏀💛
He has the tools to become much better. But because KD joined them, he kinda hold back a little. For me he’s the only player that can match up with mike and kobe especially when he’s hot. There’s no stopping klay.
Klay doesnt get enough credit for this teams success. I know Steph has had some really big moments but Klay has always been there to push this team to wins on both sides. Draymond gets alot of credit for their defense which somehow over shadows klays defense. Dray is a great zone team defensive player but when it comes to guarding the ball and the man klay is better and others that have been on this team
I thought my defense was like kawhi Leonard’s but mine is so so similar to klay Thompson when he reaches in and strips the Ball although I’m 13 years old turning 14 this year my wingspan is a cm shorter than my height but I’m considered the best defender in my school ?
I notice something... Just how referees are ready to blow the whistle once Lebron drives to the basket, referees hold that whistle for Klay. 90% of the time if a regular players swipes like Klay does, they are going to blow the whistle. Refs treat Klay different
Klay Thompson doesn't get enough credit for what he does on the defensive end of the court.
the only people dont give him enough credit are those people who didnt vote for him to be on #1 defensive team.

??? cap he is a great defender

Klay Thompson is seriously, seriously, seriously underrated in defensive ends
Indeed
Facts
Nah u just a causal everybody knew he was a elite defender
underrated
I miss this Klay..
Looking how Durant returned after Achilles, I believe that Thompson will return as the same top player.
No cap

@@cxri9454 lmao neither does klay. His jumper form is one of the best. He barely jumps.
klay got both acl and achilles, hopefully he can go back in form after the first 6 months

the best 3 and d player of all time?
Yess no debate
probably yeah. Cant think of anyone better than him in that role
No question
Easily

Klay is my dude man. Cant wait to see his comeback
His footwork-- wow, like he's gliding even with direction switches.
Man, the Warriors had unreal defenders to go along with their prolific scorers. No wonder they dominated the game.
2:58 The only time I’ve ever heard Klay talk trash! “Get that shit outta here”

klay should have made 3-4 all defensive team
this video needs to be in the millions of views
I miss this guy so much
This is satisfying to watch
Impressive, no dislikes. Go Klay !

@@amidgrid8662 good point, but as in the animal kingdom you go after the weakest and exploit them...just saying
Klay has a very good timing.
So underrated with his ability to switch on to any player big or small and have an impact on defense
He reads the switch well. Very underrated.
Can’t wait till you come back🙏🏾🤧
whats really underrated is the yellow circle, great work , subbed
He is underrated in every corner that his good at.
Love you content dude! Especially this vid 💯💯
Can't wait for klay this season
see that, he just walking everytime blocking a shot, his not even trying or run through it,its all about the mind he is absolutly right on that commercial
He one of the best defensive players in the game and it’s always slept on because he’s an amazing shooter
Man it’s been a couple years and now the warriors team has only a few original members left. Hoping they can make a comeback
Klay Underrated on O and D.
I can say that Klay Thompson is a 3 & D guard
best of all time if you ask me
He might be one of the best catch and shoot player ever in the league.
He's the best actually. Look up the stats
Oh, that first play demoralizing Mr. Booker... the dark side of basketball. Klay knows exactly when & where to stop or steal the ball. Reflexes and grace of a cat. Teams pay when they underestimate Klay. 💙🏀💛
Shootin like klay 🤫
Klay in my opinion is the best 2 way guard in the NBA. If I'm wrong name another.
He has the tools to become much better. But because KD joined them, he kinda hold back a little. For me he’s the only player that can match up with mike and kobe especially when he’s hot. There’s no stopping klay.
Pepito Obedicen d wade on both ends >>>>>>>>
@@adventurek2066 You can not compare Klay to Kobe/MJ. Klay is barely HOF, whereas they are Top 10
kawhi leonard, paul george, all better. yes he is the best 3 and d in the league but not the best 2 way

Klay will be in the HOF though
Not saying he's on an all-time ranking but saying Klay won't be in the HOF is sacrilegious
This is the reason why i idolize him
I miss Klay mannnnn
Excellent small forward size
Shooting guard
@@mo2k638 he has te size of a small forward
amid grid he’s a shooting guard
@@mo2k638 he's a SG with the size of a SF

Monster level physical strength...7 inches centers can’t play post up on him, capela can’t even move him one inch……
People always forget how impactful he is
we don’t forget. We know he’s washed now sadly

Klay was definitely the 3rd best defender on that 2017 Warriors team, 1st is Green, 2nd was Iggy and Klay was definitely a better defender than KD.
Klay needs to change his position to small forward he was fit in that position because of his defensive skills. He was a good defender
Nah, the reason he so good is cause most of the times he’s going against Guards who are smaller than him
@@Ky8d that's not the reason he's good and you know it he guards the 1- most 4's for the warriors

show this to Kelly and Wiggs
Klay defense is underrated
never asleep
I miss klay not injury
Imiss KT😌
After watching these...
Me: Klay Thompson is an excellent defender!!!
The good defense comes from good reading of the games not only from athleticsm
I thought my defense was like kawhi Leonard’s but mine is so so similar to klay Thompson when he reaches in and strips the Ball although I’m 13 years old turning 14 this year my wingspan is a cm shorter than my height but I’m considered the best defender in my school ?
Shut 'em down, Roman. I love it. Keep grinding.
I'm more like Klay too, best defender in my school too(I'm 183 and wingspan 178 which is bad lol) and I got similar shooting technique and I'm SG
id say my defense is a lot like derrick whites, offense kinda like john wall, not as good of course with less of a handle
Under rated my shoes, #11 is on team USA.

How if he playing defense like this in this era of soft basketball without getting called for fouls, like reaching in and stuff?
How 4:06 a travel??
He moved his both feet before dribble so it's a travel
