10 NBA players who would crush the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest

Klay Thompson

We’ve seen Klay Thompson eat a slice of pizza during a postgame interview. We’ve also seen Klay Thompson struggling to eat Chinese food. Finally, Klay Thompson signing a toaster is the reason the Golden State Warriors won the NBA Championship.

What I’m saying is, Klay Thompson and food just go together. While a hot dog is not a pizza, it’s not considered a Chinese food, and it’s not typically cooked in a toaster, none of that matters. Klay is also up for trying something new. He’s a guy that scores 40-points in a basketball game without dribbling. He alters franchises by setting 3-point records. He’s become one of the most underrated players in the league despite being an All-Star because he plays with three other All-Stars.

Klay would be great in the hot dog eating contest because I think he could eat 20 hot dogs in a minute without taking a bite. He’d just stuff them down his throat and think nothing of it. He could also be really bad. He might eat the first one and then chill out the rest of the time, watching everyone else stuff their faces. You never know with Klay. That’s what is so scary about him.
