While the All-Star Saturday night is a time for players to have fun, Klay Thompson is a competitor and takes the contest seriously. He wants to put his stamp on being the best shooter in the league and he knows that he is going to face stiff competition in it.
The good news is that he won’t have to worry about going up against his teammate Stephen Curry in this year’s event. The shooting extraordinaire has decided to sit out this year’s event and let his teammate go at it against the rest of the field in defense of his title.

The people challenging Thompson are as follows: Nick Young, Kemba Walker, C.J. McCollum, Eric Gordon, Kyrie Irving, Wesley Matthews and Kyle Lowry. Each of those competitors loves to let it fly from deep.
However, this competition is tailor made to the strengths of a guy like Thompson. He has a strict release and he has the speed and accuracy to thrive in this environment. Irving probably boasts the toughest challenge but there’s always that one player every year that turns some heads and surprises people.
