The Golden States Warriors took notice of the disrespectful debate that'd kicked off on Twitter earlier Monday as to who was a better catch-and-shoot scorer between Klay Thompson and Duncan Robinson of the Miami Heat. The team's Twitter account decided to respond with a little tutoring on how a future Hall of Famer sharpshooter should look.

The feud started after Portland Trail Blazers star point guard Damian Lillard entertained a fan's random take on how Robinson was a better shooter off passes than Thompson, prompting Lillard to rebut with a simple emoji that should've ended all talks.

The Warriors wanted to make sure that they paid respects to their deadeye two-way guard with a highlight reel of his catch-and-shoot plays, those of which surmount any 3-point performances of Robinson.
Robinson recently began his reputation as a considerable threat from 3-point range this year, nearly doubling his 3-point percentage from last year. He put on quite the performance throughout the postseason, though it didn't amount to the greatness of the Los Angeles Lakers in the finale.
Next season, Thompson will be sure to remind spectators quickly as to why he's considered one of the elite shooters in NBA history. Thompson has fully recovered from a torn ACL that he suffered in the 2019 NBA Finals against the Toronto Raptors. Due to the timing of the injury coming so late in the season, Thompson was forced to miss the entirety of the 2019-20 season.
The Warriors suffered mightily without Thompson and Stephen Curry, who broke his hand early on into the season, forcing them to miss the playoffs. They'll look to get back to the NBA Finals next season assuming that they can make successful offseason moves to bring about more talent to the roster.
