 Posted: Mon Jun 06, 2016 7:09 am Post subject: Klay Thompson "we're better than the Showtime Lakers" |
|
|
After last night's win over the Cavaliers, Klay Thompson said the Warriors were better than the showtime Lakers. Klay was no doubt joking and taking a jab at his father (Mychal Thompson) who played with the Showtime Lakers.
▪️In a playoff matchup, how many games do you think it would take the Showtime Lakers to beat these Warriors?

| The Warriors would probably win in 5 or 6 simply because 3 > 2. |

old rules? Not a chance. New rules? I still don't think so. How are they going to stop Kareem, Magic and Worthy in the paint? Scott and Cooper could rain threes too btw... they just didn't do it a lot because the rules weren't such that made it the best shot to take at the time.

It's hard to compare because of the no hand check rules

Nope. They're a good team, but those Lakers had two of the best of all time.

He was giving his Dad a hard time, and messing around.
Honestly they might beat the showtime Lakers, though I think the Showtime Lakers would have enough D.
But I laughed when he said it. Obviously said in jest.

Were they ? They had trouble with the celtics. 15-1 2001 Lakers would be a better of all time team imo?

| Anyone also get the fact he was completely joking because his Dad was probably in the same room and he wanted to make the media laugh? |

Here's all the comparison you need OKC with 2 players took these guys to game 7 and had them down 3-1 with Adams (no offensive skills)/Kareem at center Roberson(no offensive skills)/Byron/Copper at SG. The Lakers played teams like Golden State back in the day as a matter of fact it was Golden State with Chris Mullens, Mitch Richmond, and Tim Hardaway nice series but LA baby. |

I think under the current rules and officiating that these Warriors would probably beat the Showtime Lakers.
The 3 point shooting leaguewide is way beyond what it ever was then, the skill of the players in this era as far as shooting 3's is truly amazing.
