Klay Thompson weighed in on his funny comment during the Golden State Warriors’ win over the Portland Trail Blazers on Saturday night.

Thompson broke out of a shooting slump that had lasted much of the month by going 12-of-21 including 4-of-5 on threes. After making his fourth three of the night Saturday, Thompson hilariously looked at his shooting hand and said “I missed you” to it.

Klay hadn't hit 4 threes in a game in over 2 weeks.

Thompson was asked after the game about his words to his hand going viral and put together a thoughtful response. He said he tries to avoid the internet because it “is a very volatile place.”

Deep thinker, that Klay Thompson. Though he’s putting together the worst shooting season of his career, he still has plenty of time to turn things around.
