Klay Thompson claims he can make Manny Pacquiao shoot better than Stephen Curry

Manny Pacquiao has been associated with shoe brand Anta for quite some time now. The record-holding boxer has been spotted court-side at Warriors games multiple times. It is probably there where Klay and Pacquiao forged a bond. Manny upheld his share of the bargain, training Klay in boxing recently.

As for Klay, he started the process of his training by gifting the boxing legend pairs of his Anta sneakers. While giving the sneakers, Klay joked around and claimed that those would make Manny shoot better than Stephen Curry.
