He wants another 200M 💰 contract.

As he puts him on his top 5 list of players with most pressure lol

Klay thinks he is Kobe now lol he don’t even know how to dribble lol

A travesty that he wasn’t on the top 75? Meeeeh

I think he does since he got snubbed off the NBA 75 team he could’ve easily made that list in my opinion

I love dame but he should’ve have made that top 75 list. Same goes for AD. In my opinion, Dwight Howard got snubbed from that list. People forget how great Dwight Howard was with the magic

Klay is not a top 75 player, he doesn’t have individual awards. All team defense once in 2019, 3rd team all nba twice. Just because you have 3 rings don’t mean that you qualify as a top 75 player that’s a team accomplishment 12k + points for a career. He’s a good player, great shooter but slightly overrated
Aaron Smith-Williams

He’s easily IMO the 2nd or 3rd greatest shooter of ALL TIME. Holds many of the greatest records in NBA history. Most points in a quarter, most 3’s in a single game, scored 60 in the least amount of time. All NBA defender and all nba offense caliber shooting. With 3 championships that he was a key contributor to..
Is Ray Allen a HOFer? Because he has no individual awards?

I with you i love Klay 2nd greatest shooter and he will be a HOFer but he most likely isn’t a top 75…top 100 yes….Dwight is the biggest snub from that list whike kyrie,AD, and a couple others made the list…if the argument is klay as good as people like Kyrie and even close to Dame then that’s a point
Richard Jefferson
April 13, 2022 at 6:52 pm
@Shawn Story I agree Dwight should’ve been in there over AD and Dame probably more. Kyrie didn’t make it

Thank you for saying this, Stephen A. Smith. It’s so true and needed to be said at this level of discourse. Get out of your head and get onto the team, Klay!

Stephen A is so right on this one
MJ

Resumes must be updated on a season to season standpoint. KD came back from the same injury and has dominated the league. Klay is only asked to catch and shoot. If he’s “ThatGuy” he should be able to win a series or 2 without Steph.

How long was he out of the game due to that injury?

@K V 9 Don’t matter

They Actually can Beat Them Without Steph. If you don’t understand that, You don’t grasp Warriors Basketball one bit.
People who are So Extremely focused on Jokic are acknowledging like 30% of the whole Series Only.
If you don’t get it don’t @ me.

Klay has been trash this year. He chucking up too many shots.
Ribeye steak
April 13, 2022 at 7:30 pm
Averaging 20 on 44/39/90 is trash 😭😭😭
Kev Ben
April 13, 2022 at 8:51 pm
Trash? He basically has the same shooting percentage as Steph this season.

Stephen A, “big tub of lard” 😂
Oscar Linares
April 13, 2022 at 7:31 pm
what! he’s taking more shots or out of character shots cuz Steph ain’t there! Poole has been ballin’, Klay is just taking more shots cuz besides Poole .. there’s nobody else that can create they’re own shots until Steph gets back… we know Klay has never been a playmaker, but he can shoot … I look at it as having another tool in his offensive arsenal .. boy averaging 30+ in the last 3 games of the season without Steph… and SAS talking he doesn’t like what he’s seeing 🤦🏻♂️

He’s getting his shots back from even KD was on the warriors and after being injured.

No fate….you can look at all the stat numbers you want ..in the end its all about the moment your playing the game …
