I mean, he scored 37 in the quarter and none of them were really forced. Like he passed a few times and I was like no don't pass

Is this the time when I remind everyone that some in the Kings front office wanted to draft Klay Thompson but the pick was Jimmer Fredette?
Thanks Joe and Gavin.
Why you asking me? The coach seemed to be as mesmerized by the performance as anybody else. Nothing stopping any of the players from fouling him but then again the BB IQ's on this team are not exactly high.
The fact that they didn't foul him doesn't erase the performance though. He still had to make all the shots. He still made several of the shots with a hand in his face from deep and even fading away.

Even the official twitter account has stopped using the #SacramentoProud hashtag.

Let's say you foul him hard and then he still makes the next 3 anyways.......what do you do then?
You guys assume he's a pansy and can't take a foul but he's actually a pretty gritty player and one of the very best wing defenders in the NBA. I can't just assume that a hard foul is going to send him sulking. Maybe it does but maybe it doesn't.
I guess the Kings should have fouled him once just to see what happens but like I said and like Grant just said sometimes you just gotta tip your hat. He still made all the shots and some of them very tough shots. If it was easy we would not be talking about it being the best performance in a quarter in history.

This was my one concern. And yes, I did ENJOY the hell out of that. I took the "I Love this Game" ads a bit too literally in my youth, and that was about the best display that's ever been put on. Remember it when you are watching people fall asleep in their seats during the All Star skills competitions.
But anyway, there is this curious thing called a "double team". Its an archaic device from back in the 1.0 days when that defense stuff was played. Typically you break them out about the time a guy has gone 10-10 on you and is firebombing all takers from three point land.

Bobby Jackson seems to have no problem acknowledging what just happened. But let me guess Bobby is a sellout and doesn't know what he is talking about.......
They just showed the highlights and some of those were tough shots with hands right in his face. Some of those he was off balance and not even in full shooting form. The one finger roll layup he made was in heavy traffic with three defenders almost blocking it.
I don't know how anybody can watch those highlights and then say the Kings played no defense. Sure on some of them they didn't including a few of those early shots but a good 6 or 7 of those shots were well defended and/or tough shots and he made them all. Why is it bad to acknowledge that?
It doesn't make you any less of a Kings fan to acknowledge that another player just had the greatest shooting performance in history.

You gotta respect the history being made. It was like watching Reggie Miller vs. the Knicks. The Knicks were my second team back in those days, and I didn't like Miller. But omg was that an amazing performance.
And as for us, if anything it probably gets us off the hook. Nobody was going to beat Klay Thompson tonight. We were right there, and then Klay happened.

Well if he makes the three then he makes it. I assume these players have enough pride to not let another player make them look like D-League players.
It's not easy to do what Klay did. No one has. However this team continues to put up pathetic performance after pathetic performance. It's not like this defensive effort came out of nowhere. We see this every game and you seem surprised.
