Thompson dethrones Curry in 3-point contest

Former NBA player Mychal Thompson gave his son, Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson, an ultimatum: beat Stephen Curry in the Three-point Contest or don't come home.

So wanting to come home without disappointing his father, Thompson did just that.

Thompson scored 27 points in the championship round to best Curry's 23 to win the 2016 Three-Point contest.
