Klay Thompson will almost surely be rooting for his Golden State Warriors teammate Steph Curry during Saturday’s three-point contest. But that doesn’t mean he expects his fellow Splash Brother to win.
At an NBA Cares event on Friday, Thompson took a break from doing some construction to give his thoughts on Saturday’s shooting contest, an event that Klay has competed in four times, and won once. But when asked for a prediction, Thompson gave a surprising answer. He initially said he thought Buddy Hield of the Sacramento Kings would win, but then added that if he were a betting man he’d go for Dallas Mavericks legend Dirk Nowitzki.
