“I think he’s already had it, you know, and I think Michaels the greatest of all time. So, I’ve always wanted to maximize even the most out of my career and squeeze the most juice I can out of my career. Get close to the season and into the grind and it’s seven days a week. Plenty of players enter the league with bad habits that, by season three or four, they figure out they have to dump if they are going to stick around (and get paid). A career that has seen very few injuries (in 20 seasons his only surgeries have been LASIK and oral surgery in the offseason), very little time missed, and a lot of points. I feel like if my mind can stay as fresh as it possibly can through a grueling up-and-down NBA season — which it is — then my body is going to be able to try and perform at the highest level.

Thompson also has shot the ball well during those matchups, failing to hit 45 percent of his shots in just four games. Born in Los Angeles, Calif., Thompson and his family moved to Oregon when he was two. "I'm so excited to play in front of my family," Thompson shared.

Jordan Poole also played maybe his best game of the season in a big Warriors win.

This sprint and kick to Thompson was a work of art: [Jordan Poole](/nba/players/2892690/jordan-poole/) and [Klay Thompson](/nba/players/1647559/klay-thompson/) led the way as the Warriors connected on 26 3-pointers, just one off the franchise record. That's not a stat the Warriors will be pleased with, as impressive as it is to do that much damage on jump shots. He hardly gets to the rim or even into the lane. Curry and Thompson are the only players in history that have recorded multiple games with at least 12 3-pointers (they've each done it twice). Even during the [Kevin Durant](/nba/players/1231866/kevin-durant/) super years, there were two decidedly different Warriors teams: With and without Curry.

So that’s what it means to me to be like water. That book helped me so much during the time when I wasn’t playing basketball,” Thompson explained. “As far as on the court, just to be like water is just to flow,” Thompson mused. “Be effortless.

The Warriors crushed the Thunder 141-114 Monday night at Chase Center behind a tonnage of 3-pointers.

When Aaron Wiggins starts, the Thunder is 0-2 against the Warriors and 8-0 against the rest of the league. It was OKC’s lowest-scoring second quarter of the season. ● The Warriors have cracked the Aaron Wiggins code. ● The Warriors PA announcer mistakenly confused Thunder guard Tre Mann for Clippers guard Terance Mann. Jerome was inactive when the Warriors were in OKC, but he’s expected to play more in Curry’s absence. ● Steve Kerr called timeout after the Thunder got off to a 9-2 lead. Give the PA guy a pass. He’s more of a self-creator than a flow facilitator, but the Thunder offense sometimes needs that kind of verve. It was the Thunder’s most lopsided loss of the season. Dennis Schröder was the Thunder’s leading scorer that night. ● Thunder guard Lu Dort (hamstring) missed his fifth straight game. You have to do it on the defensive end.”
