There's no doubt that Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson of the Golden State Warriors are two of the greatest shooters of all time. In fact, it's hard to argue against the notion that they are the greatest shooting duo of all time.
Be that as it may, there has still been some slander thrown in the direction of the Warriors stars. Some have gone as far as saying that Thompson and Curry “ruined basketball” with their insane shooting range. For his part, Thompson is having none of this talk:
“Bombing away from three like we do kinda flipped the basketball world upside down, and I think we're seeing that at all levels of basketball now, which a lot of people say it's ruined the game, but I think it kinda just been an innovative aspect of the game, to be honest,” Thompson told Malika Andrews of ESPN.
“I’ve heard Tiger Woods say that he visualizes every single shot he shoots on the golf course. I try to apply the same method to basketball.”

Clearly, Thompson doesn't agree with the notion that they ruined basketball. This is just straight up slander in his mind. According to the Warriors star, he and his backcourt partner-in-crime simply made the game better by revolutionizing it.
As they always say, haters gotta hate, and this has been the case for both Klay and Steph.
