The 6-foot-7 shooting guard suffered another humiliation, this time under the hands of a talented Chinese woman.
Thompson was back in China this week for his latest off-season tour and decided to challenge a girl in a pop-a-shot game. It turns out the woman is a machine at the popular arcade basketball game and ended up sinking basket after basket without missing a shot.
With blazing fast hands and accuracy that rivals Thompson’s sharpshooting teammate Stephen Curry, the unnamed woman simply outclassed the 28-year-old Golden State Warriors star in the brief friendly contest.
Thompson, whose China tour is sponsored by Chinese shoe company Anta, also appears to have lost his cool in the country when his friend was fouled hard by an opposing player during a pickup game, reports
