Pat Beverley makes Audace Klay Thompson, Paul George Parallel – NBC Sports Bay Area & California

Klay Thompson is a fundamental pillar of the warriors dynasty, but would Golden State have won even more NBA championships if another star shooting guard took his place?

The twelve -year -old NBA veteran of the NBA beverley certainly believes it.

During a recent episode of “The Pat Boy Podcast with Rone”, Beverley revealed that Golden State would have won more than four titles if Paul George had replaced Thompson.

“If you put Paul George in that role by playing like Klay Thompson, playing with [Steph Curry, Draymond Green, Andre Iguodala] At one point – obviously we know that Paul George a couple of years ago was in the MVP race, “said Beverley.

“If you replace those two and we don’t know, we are just going away what we think in basketball, I think Golden are probably winning more championships.”

While George is a superstar in its own right, it is a bold statement to say that anyone could have intervened and replicated, not to mention the fact that Thompson had on the warriors while Golden State ruled the Kingdom of the NBA. Especially when George did not play in a NBA final during his 15 -year career.

Amply considered one of the greatest tiators ever to collect a basketball, Thompson has perfectly integrated the superhuman shot of curry perimeter, creating a backcourt tandem that had never been seen before in the NBA.

Thompson spent 13 years in Golden State, gaining five consecutive selections of All-Star NBA while playing a fundamental role in inaugurating one of the most dominant dynamics that the League has ever seen while the Warriors won four championships.

On an individual level, George has the advantage when it comes to Nod All-Star (9), All-Pro Selections, (6) and honors of all defensive (4). However, Thompson was a much more efficient shooter during the post-installation, almost equaling George’s production in their respective careers.

Thompson also gained delivery reputation when the lights were brighter in the elimination games, an aspect that cannot be neglected when he hypothesized which player would have contributed more to the victory at the highest levels that the NBA has to offer.

In the end it is an interesting exercise of thought, but Thompson’s greatness and contributions to Golden State cannot be neglected.
