Klay Thompson didn't have the best of luck showing off his hops during his last trip to China earlier this summer, when he infamously ate it after attempting a 360 slam in front of the Chinese media while promoting his Anta sneakers.
This time around, he plans to change that perception if the right opportunity arises during Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
“If I'm on a fast break tomorrow, I might try to do a 360,” Thompson joked, according to Mark Medina of the San Jose Mercury News.
The Warriors will be happy as long as his stroke looks good after a dismal playoff shooting display in the last postseason, though it's understandable why he may want to face his demons in front of this rabid crowd.
Thompson admitted upon his return to the Bay Area that he isn't necessarily known for his dunks, but he has completed these type of dunks in the past — though pulling it off in the middle of a game, even on a fast break with nothing but the chants of thousands around him, might still prove pretty difficult.
If the 6-foot-7 sharpshooter can channel his inner Vince Carter in front of these fans, the hashtag #ChinaKlay will take yet a whole other meaning, yet again.
