#ChinaKlay keeps gaining steam on social media and it all started with a dunk fail by Klay Thompson, who recently went into detail about the video that went viral.

Thompson talked with Nick DePaula of Nice Kicks about the Warriors star’s unsuccessful attempt at a 360-degree dunk that made the rounds online Sunday.

As usual, Klay kept things comical when discussing the dunk. His trolling of Zaza Pachula, who apparently challenged Thompson to a dunking duel, was the most hilarious.

“Man, you’ve got to laugh at yourself sometimes. It’s whatever, it was hilarious,” Thompson told DePaula. “I got so much flak from my teammates, still am. Zaza has been killing me, challenging me to a dunk contest. That’s when you know you hit rock bottom: when Zaza thinks he’s a better dunker than you.”

Then again, he added, being an NBA champion kind of eases other concerns.

“At first I was pretty embarrassed, (but) I’m like, ‘Eh I’m a champion,'” Thompson said. “If that’s the worst I do is miss a dunk… could be worse.”

It also could be worse than a summer tour of China, as Thompson is doing — thanks to Anta, which reportedly signed him to a 10-year extension worth $80 million. So even though he couldn’t complete the dunk on any of his five attempts — not just the once captured by viral videos (that you can see below) — Klay is having fun.

“I could not leave that court without completing that dunk,” Thompson said, noting that he has obsessive compulsive disorder. “I was like, ‘Man I’ve got to do this — it will bother me the whole day if I don’t get this 360.’ But then I just got hung.”

Thus, Thompson getting rejected by the rim began a week of funny moments from across the Pacific Ocean.

“I hit the ground, I tried to play it off, I rolled out… I was like, ‘Gah I hope that doesn’t go viral,'” Thompson said. “The first thing in my head was like, ‘Please don’t let this media cross the Pacific.’ But everything is in the cloud these days, somebody’s bound to find it.”

No matter, Thompson said, since it was indeed hilarious — and since nobody would have cared about the dunk if he had correctly flushed it.

“I’ll redeem myself next season, though — but that video ain’t going viral, no one’s trying to see me complete 360,” Thompson said. “They just want to see my butt hit the ground. Which is pretty funny.”

As promised, here are the videos of his epic fail…
