MANILA, Philippines – Note to Klay Thompson: Stick to shooting.
The Golden State Warriors sharpshooter was feeling fancy during a trip to China, attempting to throw down a 360 dunk in a video posted on Saturday, June 24.
His wipeout drew laughs from the crowd – including the announcer who giggled a few times before assuring what appeared to be hundreds of fans in attendance that Thompson was alright.

It should be noted that Thompson, one of the premier long-range shooters in the league, isn’t relied on to rattle the rim, having only converted on 5 dunks during the 2016-17 season, according to Basketball-Reference.com.
His disinterest in dunking didn’t seem to hurt the Warriors’ chances in their historic NBA playoffs run.
The blooper isn’t likely to affect Thompson’s popularity in China, a country he has visited numerous times, and where Anta, the sports apparel company that sponsors him (and Manny Pacquiao), is based.
Luckily for Thompson he has two championship rings to make himself feel better. – Rappler.com
