Jordan to Klay: 'Go ahead and go break the record'

Klay Thompson is often seen as the less touted shooter in the Warriors' backcourt with Stephen Curry.

But on Saturday, Thompson took down Curry in the 3-Point Contest one day after being starstruck during his second All-Star Weekend.

And who made Thompson stop in his tracks? None other than Michael Jordan.

"He said, 'Go ahead and go break the [Bulls'] record,'" Thompson said after taking home the 3-Point Contest title.

Through 52 games, the Warriors own a 48-4 record, the best in NBA history. Currently, they're on pace to break the Bulls' 72-10 record from the 1995-96 season.

"I still get starstruck when I see him," Thompson continued. "I'm like, wow that's the guy that everyone wanted to be growing up."

Thompson is averaging 21.3 points per game while nailing 42 percent of his 3-pointers this season. He is playing in his second straight All-Star Game.

In their first meeting, Thompson found Jordan to be easy to talk to as the legend handed him praise.

"He was cool to talk to, he gave me a lot of props, told me to tell my pops hi and my uncle. It was just great seeing him. He's easy to talk to, which I didn't know because he's Michael Jordan.

"I felt like I honestly arrived too, because he knew who I was so that was really cool."

The Warriors have to finish the regular season 25-5 to beat the Bulls' 72-10 record.
