It's not easy to impress Stephen Curry or Klay Thompson. The Golden State Warriors stars are used to being the centers of attention for their own superhuman feats on the basketball court.
But both Curry and Thompson were left in disbelief after Gary Payton II posterized their former Warriors teammate Kelly Oubre Jr. Check out the monster slam below:

Oubre was a poster machine during his brief stint with the Warriors last season. He was given a dose of his own medicine this time around.
Payton II made a decent impact for the Warriors in this one, going beyond just hyping up Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson. He added 10 points and three rebounds to go along with his usual stalwart defense that garnered him two steals. With a handful of offensive-minded guards like Curry and Jordan Poole on the roster, having a backcourt weapon with athleticism like GPII will come in handy in certain matchups.
The Warriors have been on a terrific roll to start the NBA season, winning five of their first six contests. With Klay Thompson's return seemingly just around the corner, Stephen Curry and Co. are looking like a serious threat to contend for the title this season.
