Prior to going 12-for-21 from the field for his 32-point performance during Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers, Golden State guard Klay Thompson was experiencing a shooting slump. But he once again looked like one of the league's deadliest shooters as he went 4-for-5 from 3-point range. After hitting his fourth, the camera caught Thompson shouting "I miss you" at his shooting hand.
The hilarious comeback quickly made rounds on social media, but Thompson himself probably hasn't seen how popular the made-for-the-internet moment became. When asked about the response, Thompson explained that he tries to stay offline because "the internet is a volatile place."
Thompson's hot performance comes as a potential turnaround in what's been one of the worst shooting years of his carer. He's currently making 44 percent of his shots, a drop-off from last year's 48.8 percent.
