Klay Thompson is known universally as one of the greatest shooters in the history of basketball. Now with a recent slump in his form the world has begun to react with many calling the splash brother "Washed"

Klay's Worst Season

After trading away Jordan Poole this offseason, it was expected that Thompson would need to turn back the clock and become the lethal scorer he was during the Warriors' championship seasons. These expectations have only increased with the games Steph has missed due to injury. Unfortunately, Klay seems to be having one of his worst seasons yet.

He is recording a career high in turnovers per game, and on top of this, he is averaging career lows in steals, field goal percentage, and three-point percentage. Additionally, he's scoring his fewest points per game since his rookie season. With all of this in mind, many are calling the 33-year-old 'washed' and have even placed blame on him for the Warriors' six-game losing streak.






Stephen A.Smith Puts Klay on Notice

Among the many criticizing Klay's recent form is ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith. For fans of shows like First Take and SportsCenter, Stephen A. is a massive fan of Klay and has been vocal in praising the four-time champion throughout the years, making his latest take significant.

He goes on to blast Thompson's poor season, highlighting how much he has slipped from the player we've known him to be. Smith even questions whether or not Klay still belongs in the NBA at all.

"Somebody has to put Klay Thompson on notice. ... If Klay Thompson isn't shooting the ball at an elite level, what use is there for him any longer?"

"I do think we reached the point in time when somebody has to put Klay Thompson on notice, My brother, you look like you have slipped tremendously."


Internet Trolls Klay

At well as the sports media world calling out Klay, he now also has to deal with thousands of fans online trolling the superstar and mocking his recent play. Here are some of the most popular posts.
