KLAY was being too nice. I think this subject is much deeper and Draymond was looking for a MEIA CUPA as they say....in other words bring it up on a podcast when he knows damn well he has been a friken traitor for 2 seasons. So he puts it out there and Klay and Steph are too nice to tell him straight up he has been sabotaging Steph's legacy to favor his bromance LBJ and his obsession bout getting a 5th ring before Steph. Nothing makes LBJ happier than to create obstacles to Steph's legacy so his selfish narcissistic thing to being the phony GOAT can be manufactured.

@nortures6369 Місяць тому

So true! I especially like the NBA family competition convo between the Holidays & Thompsons (and Currys). I think the Currys are all career 40% three point shooters but they also have to guard; so they're eliminated. Between the Holidays & Thompsons? If Klay gets on one its over: Mr. 60 points on 11 dribbles 🏀

He know that! Did you hear him say it's a "work in progress"? Did you hear his podcast when he first came back from his suspension, saying that it's a mental thing, and that he's taking the steps forward? When you have a mental "thing" going on, you don't do things because you're a bad person, you do things because of an illness! Only the wise recognize it, and do the work to get better. He's doing that!

I love all the Warriors. But Klay Thompson has always been special to me, and not just for his on-court skills. His depth and thoughtfulness are somewhat unexpected yet highly appreciated. He has an honesty about him that’s incredibly refreshing; what you see is what you get. I live in the Bay Area and have seen some of the team around (including you, Draymond, on Christmas Eve shopping at the Target in Walnut Creek), always class acts. The Duffys are also our neighbors. I’ve been hoping that I might be able to run into Klay but never have. Maybe one day. Great interview💯

Klay has always been my favorite player, ever since he was drafted by the Dubs. I remember being so sad for him when he got injured in the '19 finals, and then again while working his way back. I'll never forget his comeback game. I was actually in the hospital myself when it happened, recovering from a huge spinal surgery. I felt like if Klay could recover and come back to be even half the player he was, then I could recover from my situation and get back to school. He was a huge inspiration to me during my own recovery. And he's given Dubs fans all over the world so many good memories. No matter what happens this off season, he's a Warrior for life in my eyes.

@semigeniusreally8988 Місяць тому

The Dubs - and especially Steph and Klay - have taken the NBA from a game of checkers to a game of chess. Their style of play has transformed basketball from a WWE wrestling match into a beautiful, balanced, "ALL talents matter" game that, for me, is an absolute joy to watch. You can keep your Lambeers and your Malones and give me a game where, even if you're team is behind or ahead by 15 with 6 minutes left or 8 with one minute to play, you're not leaving the arena just yet.
