For those of you that thought that Air Bud was a total farce and that a dog could never play basketball with humans...you're probably still right, but this pooch definitely put in work versus Klay Thompson.

Wednesday, Thompson was spotted working out at the Los Angeles Lakers practice facility with a particularly furry training partner. While one dog chose to hang out and patrol the sideline, another applied his paws-up defence, contesting Thompson's shot.

Keeping Thompson to a 50 percent shooting percentage is very respectable for a defender that literally has to keep their front paws on the court. Other dogs have had their poor defence exposed on court.
