Klay Thompson believes he has become the NBA's best shooting guard.

Thompson was asked to name the best player at each position in the NBA and picked Stephen Curry as the point guard before pausing.

"I'm going to go with myself," Thompson said of his pick for the top shooting guard, throwing up his hands. "We're 26-1." 

Thompson also noted Jimmy Butler and James Harden were among the other candidates.

"I have confidence in myself," Thompson said Saturday.

Thompson is off to a slow start this season.

"When you play with a free mind and you play thinking you're not hurt and you're healthy, that's when you're playing your best," Thompson said. "I want to continue playing like this, get better every month.

"I know I'll have a great year."
