Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson is not a high flier. He can shoot with the best of them, but when it comes to dunking the basketball, he is not exactly Jason Richardson.

This was evident in Game 3 of the NBA Finals last year, when Klay Thompson threw down an incredibly awkward-looking dunk in transition in the fourth quarter. To make matters worse, Thompson was being chased down by LeBron James, known for his swats of dunks and layups on the break (just ask Andre Iguodala).

Thompson actually revealed that that moment was the one time James actually made him nervous:

Of course, the Warriors went on to sweep LeBron's Cleveland Cavaliers in those finals, so there were no memorable James blocks this time around.

This season, however, has been a struggle for Klay in general.

Save for his monstrous performance against the Chicago Bulls in late October where he scored 52 points and nailed an NBA-record 14 three-pointers, Thompson has labored with his shot this year, shooting just 43.9 percent from the floor and a career-low (by far) 34.4 percent from downtown.

For reference, Thompson has never shot below 40 percent from long distance over the course of a season before, which gives you an idea of just how much he has been struggling during the 2018-19 campaign.

Of course, the Warriors team as a whole has not looked like themselves this season, as they currently own a record of 25-13 and sit in second place in the Western Conference standings.

With Kevin Durant and Thompson both up for free agency this coming summer, we could be in the twilight of the Golden State era.
