Klay Thompson takes hilarious jab at Draymond Green on Instagram post

Share

Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and D'Angelo Russell finally were under the same roof as teammates Monday.

Hours after the Warriors Media Day festivities came to a close at Chase Center, Russell posted a photo of the four stars together.

Klay -- who was in a very chatty mood prior to taking the podium and speaking to the media -- stole the show when he left the following comment:

Let's take a second to defend Draymond from "Bully Klay."

Yes, the 2017 Defensive Player of the Year did not shoot the ball well from beyond the arc the last three seasons. Green shot 30.8 percent, 30.1 percent and 28.5 percent, respectively in from beyond the arc in each of the past three seasons.

But Green hasn't been all bad from distance. He did shoot 41 percent from deep during the 2017 NBA playoffs, made two huge triples late in Game 1 of the 2018 NBA Finals against the Cavs and did this in Game 4 of last year's Western Conference finals in Portland:

During the 2015-16 campaign -- when he was named All-NBA Second-Team and finished seventh in MVP voting -- Draymond shot 38.8 percent from 3-point territory.

With Kevin Durant no longer on the team and Thompson sidelined until late February at the earliest, the Dubs need Draymond to consistently regain his prowess from deep.

He certainly is capable:

Sorry, Klay. Not everybody can shoot 42 percent for an entire season, or make 14 3-pointers in a single game.

You just worry about your awesome commute to work and leave Draymond alone.
