“Washed vs randoms” – Klay Thompson struggling in pickup game goes VIRAL leaving Mavericks fans worried

Klay Thompson's video has gone viral where he struggles to beat random amateurs

Four-time NBA champion Klay Thompson is considered one of the best shooters in the NBA. He has been a key pillar for the Golden State Warriors dynasty over the last decade. Together with Stephen Curry, they were known as the “Splash Brothers” for their impressive shooting, forming the best shooting backcourt in the NBA.

However, after suffering a few injuries, Thompson’s play declined, and he was eventually seen coming off the bench for a rookie. Following a contract dispute, Thompson decided to leave the Warriors and sign with the Dallas Mavericks.

Recently, a video featuring Klay Thompson has gone viral. Thompson was seen playing against random basketball players and struggling. He missed close-range shots and displayed poor defense, allowing players to easily get past him.

In one sequence, he was beaten off the dribble for a dunk, raising concerns for Dallas. Fans began calling Thompson “washed” and trolled him on social media.

Thompson, in his prime, was unstoppable and once scored 37 points in a single quarter, an NBA record for the most points scored in a quarter. His style of play will certainly fit with the Mavericks. During the 2024 NBA Finals, Dallas struggled with their shooting, hitting only 31.6% from deep. This was one of the reasons for the Mavericks’ loss to the Boston Celtics.

Thompson hasn’t been in top form for the last two years, but he can still contribute to a team and provide the veteran experience that the Mavericks certainly need. With Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving forming a solid backcourt, Thompson will provide them with strong support.

Since a video went viral of Klay Thompson practicing with non-NBA players, fans have had a variety of reactions. In the video, Thompson had a bad performance, leading many Mavericks’ fans to express their concerns regarding his game.

“Klay’s washed even vs randoms,” quipped one fan while another wrote, “Man’s reaching Portland Melo levels of washed.” Following are some fan reactions from X:

Many fans have called Thompson washed and criticized his recent form. However, he has a chance to prove everyone wrong by providing the help that the Mavericks need. Furthermore, he could play a crucial role in Dallas’ quest to win it all next season.
