Thompson, who turns 34 in February, is nearing an end to the five-year, $190-million maximum contract he signed on July 10, 2019.
“I’m playing basketball in my 13th year in the NBA, I have no complaints,” he said. “Whatever the future has in store, I’ve done so many great things in this uniform. There are many more memories to create. Whatever happens, life is great. I can’t really complain. I’ve had an incredible run here.”
Thompson, who is one month older than Green, is coming off one of his greatest seasons. He led the NBA in 3-pointers and became the third player in NBA history to knock down 300 in a season. Only Curry and James Harden have accomplished the feat. Scoring is fun, “but sometimes it’s equally as fun getting a stop, getting a good rebound, making an assist,” he said. “Simple plays. When I was hooping this summer I just tried to focus on doing things that allowed the team to win. Whether that’s hitting the open man, taking the open shot, playing defense, not being so pressed to have to score for my team to win. Just trying to be a complete cerebral player. Hope I can do that this season.
He said he’s seen Thompson step up his offseason training intensity this year. Curry said Thompson looks locked in, “mentally and physically.”
