Fans react to Jefferson taking Klay Thompson over Stephen Curry

This is not the first time someone has taken a teammate of Stephen Curry over him. A few years back, sports analyst Max Kellerman made some huge claims. Interestingly, Kellerman stated he would take Andre Iguodala over Curry to make a clutch shot. One of the main reasons was Iguodala winning the Finals MVP over Curry.

Kellerman said, “Fate of the universe on the line or The Martians have the death beam pointed at earth, ‘You better hit it!’ I want Iguodala!” He added Iguodala had ice water running through his veins.

Understandably, this instantly became a viral meme. So when Jefferson made a similar comment about Curry and Thompson, the fans were ready with the iconic joke. Here are some reactions:

Stephen Curry is a career 42.8% shooter from the three-point territory, while Thompson is a 41.5% shooter. Last season, Curry had a set shot percentage of 39.5 with 5.2 attempts per game. Klay Thompson was 36.3% with 7.5 attempts per game. Furthermore, the argument gets stronger for Steph if catch-and-shoot stats from the 2018-19 season is considered. It was before Thompson’s major injuries.

In that season, Steph had a 44.6% set shot beyond the arc, while Thompson had a set shot percentage of 40.5. Furthermore, Curry now has the record for most 3-pointers made in the history of the NBA. While most fans understand Thompson is a great shooter, they believe Curry is better. And it is not without reason.
