Speaking to KNBR, Klay Thompson had a sharp response to Harden, and others with similar thinking.

“There’s one ball, guess what we’ll do? We’ll put it in the hoop,” Thompson said.
Boom. Roasted.
Thompson was a little less aggressive with his responses in an interview with ESPN’s Ethan Sherwood Strauss. When talking about sharing the ball there, he explained how he’s ready to sacrifice the ball like another player who won multiple titles.
“I look at a guy like Manu Ginobili who came off the bench almost his entire career,” Thompson said. “Never averaged more than 20 points a game, but he’s a four-time champion, you know? He could have easily been on another team and averaged 25 a game, but he sacrificed to win, and that’s what I expect to do next year. I don’t care about averaging 25 or even 20. I just want to finish it out and get back to the Finals and enjoy that ride.”
All of these players are saying the right things about sharing the ball, but we won’t see if it will actually work out until they start playing some games.
