Klay Thompson admires Steph Curry’s consistency and efforts in the game: “He's so unique in his style of play... he's been like that since Day 1”

Klay Thompson and Steph Curry are without a doubt one of the best backcourts in the history of the NBA. In addition to their four championships, they are also two of the greatest shooters of all time. Over the course of their storied careers, their names have become synonymous with one another.

The two have played 11 seasons together and started the 12th this campaign. On a recent episode of the "All The Smoke" podcast, Thompson said that he has followed Curry since his time at Davidson:

"When I saw him play at Davidson, like, no one was doing that like he was shooting from 30 to 40 feet with ease. And his dribble moves were crazy. But when I got on the floor with him, it's probably the Nugget series, when I saw him just taking transition pull up 3s like it was a elbow jumper.

"Like, it was, it's crazy. He made it look so effortless too."

He continued about the evolution of Curry from a budding young star to a global superstar:

"Even watching him today, I'm like, you know this man's ball handling is crazy. You just those between his legs. He sets up his shot like it's nothing. I'm like, there's really, he's so unique in his style of play. Man. He's been like that since Day 1. He's just gotten stronger and better."

Klay Thompson and Steph Curry on a quest for back-to-back titles

Golden State Warriors vs. Dallas Mavericks, Game 3.

With Klay Thompson back healthy, it's no secret that he and Steph Curry have their sights set on winning back-to-back titles.

Prior to the start of the season, Thompson showed that he and Curry are still two of the best shooters in the league. The duo managed to win a two-membered 3-point contest in Japan by defeating Jordan Poole and Moses Moody.

Thompson also admitted that he was hesitant to participate in offseason pro-am runs like LeBron James and Dejounte Murray did. After suffering two near-career-ending injuries in the past four years, Thompson wanted to play it safe. His concerns were justified as he tore his Achilles heel in 2020 while playing pickup basketball.

Of course, that hasn't stopped him from tearing it up on the court during the regular season. Check out his highlights from the team's win over the Lakers on Tuesday.
