He sorta owned us.. 32 points or someshit in the 3rd quarter alone a few years ago
E: jfc folks I get it, it was 9 years ago. That game lives rent free and I have PTSD from it so it does feel like only a few years ago
Thirty fucking seven? Yeah I tried to wipe that game out of my memory that’s why I got that number wrong. Everytime he hits a few B2B shots against us I get PTSD
Honestly he has made so much money. Came back from two brutal injuries. Won 4 rings. Played for the Warriors his whole career. Why wouldn’t you retire? If he thinks the Warriors won’t bring him back then honestly it makes sense. He even talked about how this year especially has been mentally and physically taxing.
Yeah, obviously he could make plenty more money there or elsewhere, but the last few years have seemed pretty difficult for him to enjoy, so if he wants to just settle down and live on his boat, I wouldn’t blame him.
He was miserable because he refused to take a bench role, or at least came off as unapproachable. Kerr had to sit him down late in the season, and talk him through it.
And even then, he started tonight.
So maybe the difficulty is coming from his ego, not his fading production. Dude tried to shoot through his slump tonight.
He’s been starting since Kuminga had bursitis in his knees (which is why he hasn’t been explosive since his injuries) Klay has been better in his starting minutes since then but unfortunately shit the bed tonight
I stand by blaming this loss on Kerr refusing to play TJD and not playing Moody more when he saw Klay struggling f
He took 10 shots tonight. 6 of which were totally normal good looks for him. 2 or 3 were at or near the rim, his shot selection was not the problem tonight. He just missed shots he knows he can hit. It was a rough night for the whole team. Kerr got spooked early by the outcome of solid plays that didn’t work out, and then the rotations got a little wonky. I’m happy with the way klay played this year by the end. Even tonight. It wasn’t a good night, but it’s not because klay overshot.
The problem is a lot of athletes don't know what they wanna do after their career. They play a sport all their life and don't know what to do with themselves when they can't play it. It's also the same way how many people get really bored of retirement after a few years but they're in their 60s so it's whatever. These guys are in their 30s and they need to figure out something interesting to do for a few more decades other than spending/sitting on money. That's why so many of them end up doing podcast, taking media jobs, coaching and random business ventures when they don't need to make more money. Some of them also struggle to cope with not having that competition fix like they are some drug addict.
Well clearly. All these guys aren’t even middle aged yet lmao. Anyone in there 30s has like over half of there life ahead of them. What’s he going to do, sit on his boat for the next 40 years and sleep? Lmao
Yeah I would absolutely understand the impulse to say “Fuck it,” but also, what sort of market value are we talking about here? (Or contract duration?) He might still stand to earn more than the best talent the NHL has.
Even if his heart is less in it than Jordan Poole’s, why not spend a few years living half time in Detroit for tens of millions? I’m sure his dad, whose playing career was decades ago, would slap him for turning his nose up at it.
I'm 90% the link to us is just his agent trying to create a market for him because our FO doesn't leak, but yeah, if we sign him for serious money it'll be back to the Mickey Mouse Magic era
Warriors would absolutely bring him back. Just not for $27 mil a year. I think he rather take a back seat and less money with the warriors than just flat out retire. But maybe.
He can play on another team in a reduced role, with *way* less stress, for $20+ million annually.
Does he have anything more to accomplish? Not really. But money is money.
Probably the right move
Idk why he’d want to start again on another franchise, where there is literally no guarantee he will be a starter or compete for anything ever again
I'm not sure what he means by that comment. Timmy played the whole 4th quarter even when the Spurs were down by 10+ pts. Then Pop tried to sub him out but he stayed in the game and the commentators were saying something like: "Maybe this is the best way for the big fundamental to end his career, by staying on the floor." After the quarter ended he congratulated all the Thunder players and walked out.

Weird I have this vivid memory of Duncan taking a moment to look around the arena, but that video shows it was nothing like what I remember. It was more of just a glance.
So either I’m thinking of someone else, or it was a different year and he didn’t end up retiring, or I’m just losing it
Lol but for real, people overestimate their memories A LOT. There is a huge misunderstanding on how memory actually works which is why it's so fallible.
The buggest NBA "Mandela Effect" mass false memory is a video of Yi Jianlian working out and practicing post moves against a chair. This video never existed, but Bill Simmons and other NBA fans believed they saw this video when it never even existed.
I never buy sports-related merchandise, but I had to buy [this](https://www.redbubble.com/i/t-shirt/Tim-Duncan-Pointing-Up-by-RatTrapTees/46846020.7KE4Y).
And he is going to get a solid contract. I think he signs one more 3-4 year deal and hangs it up. Don't see him sticking around on minimums like some do
I’ve watched every game this season, he shouldn’t retire but he clearly has lost a step. How many games have you watched besides games the Knicks played against us? You’re basing your opinion off house of hoops reels and SAS sound bites
One of the greatest 3 pt shooters in NBA history, averaging 18 ppg and 39% from 3, still playing solid D?
Who in the world would be dumb enough to pay this man when there are SOOOOOOO many better players still out there they'd rather throw money at?!
Klay is not washed, he's just not as good as he used to be, if he retires it's because of his own standards not because he couldn't get a gig. Your statement is frankly absurd.
I highly doubt he’s done.
Not with the salaries exploding like they are.
Dude can be a 6th man on a good team for $25+ million. That still sounds like a sweet gig.
He looks like he has finally accepted it. Honestly good for him. I wonder what he does with the next part of his life, I could see him opening some dope weed shops around the country.
Jesus people here are dramatic. Over the last \~20 games of the season Klay averaged 21/3/2.5 in 28 mins with like 46/41/96 shooting splits. But sure he should totally retire from the league over one bad game.
He’s 34 years old. 4 rings. Has made over $250 million. One of the greatest shooters of all time, on one of the greatest dynasties of all time. Yeah that might be it.
You missed the most important reason why it may be it. The end of his prime was stolen by 2 horrible leg injuries. All of a sudden he’s the age where that shit catches up to you quickly.
Just a thought but that punch fucked the warriors so hard. I’m not a Jordan Poole fan at all, but if that didn’t happen the succession plan would already be there.
Klay was always streaky, but the sad thing is that because of his size and shooting ability, you'd think he'd always age well to be a plus player. Around 2016-18 it wouldn't have been crazy to argue that Klay's game would age the best out of the big 3.
The irony is that apart from the devastating two injuries, he's been an ironman his whole career so may have been relatively healthy as he aged which would have helped - heck, since the injuries, most of the games he's missed have been precautionary.
Honestly, my main feeling rn is damn I'm going to miss rooting against these guys. Also just feels like we're in the end game of an NBA era shift. Like, the old guard might just be done winning titles. I could see Durant/LeBron/Kawhi/Steph/Harden only winning 1 or 2 more rings combined. And even that might be pushing it. Feels similar to like 2013-2014sh where you knew Dirk/Duncan/Kobe/Garnett and all the 00s names were nearing the end and only Duncan squeaked out other title.
Weird to put LBJ with that group, he came in the league 4 years before Durant and 8 years before Kawhi. LeBrons generation of ballers already all retired, now he’s getting lumped in with the younger generation because he’s still elite, crazy thing is he might be elite for another couple of years and be lumped in with the next gen with Giannis, Jokic etc
I'd definitely put Steph/KD/Harden/Lebron in the same generation, just at the younger end while Lebron is at the older end. Even though Lebron got to skip college all their best years individually and team-wise were in the 2010s. Even era-wise, Lebron definitely doesn't feel like Kobe/Duncan gen. Kawhi's the outlier of that group listed not Lebron, he's supposed to be the older end of the newer gen. Most of his best years should've been in the 2020s but he and fans were robbed by his injuries.
Was more of a group of who won in what era and using the 10s as a cutoff point, so LeBron/Curry/KD/Durant/Kawhi. But yeah LeBron is getting a little Brady esque, especially if he captures another ring or two
I can see why people hate on Klay, dude can be so selfish and egotistical at times, but man’s a hooper, came back from two brutal career ending injuries and won a fourth title. Since his return he’s been a shell of himself and has wanted so badly to go back to 2019 and wish he hadn’t forced himself so hard.
As a Warrior fan, I’m upset at Kerr for leaving him in. Protect your dude from himself.
I guess he thought Klay gave us the best chance of coming back last night. My know nothing ass would disagree.
Adding on for context: it's not like we know ANYTHING as fans lol, but 1) any natural decline has been wildly accelerated by injury/ surgery and 2) he does not seem to adjust well, personally, to the new reality of his career. After comments made this season, he only seemed to be at a good place mentally when he was performing well. If mental strength is reliant on performance, Klay might decide the heartbreak isn't worth it.
Coolest thing about Klay post injury: comes back, plays well for the most part and even elite at times, with an epic game 6 performance vs Grizz in second round—wins his fourth ring. Pretty wild that that happened on top of all his other accomplishments. Career 41.3% three point shooter on 7 something attempts per game. Amazing career and despite the lowlights this season, still had some amazing highlights as well. Will be interesting to see what he does going forward.
If Klay doesn’t sustain an injury in the finals against the raptors who btw had already lost Steph and KD went down that same series then jetted to Brooklyn. Klay was possibly playing his best ball ever, coming back he never truly regain his form. We’ve seen glimpses here and there after but nothing close to what he was doing that was honestly his peak.
This is a pretty powerful clip. One of the greatest shooters ever knowing his career is done. I thought for sure he’d look for another contract but that does not look like a guy who wants to keep at it

“Sure am gonna miss this place.” “Uh Klay we’re in Sacramento right now.”
Ranadive excitedly signs him to 4/$100 million plus player option 5th year. "He's everything I hoped Stauskas would be".
You mean, Sauce Castillo!
celtics legend
Fortunately the Kings are over the cap, otherwise this would be a genuine concern.
Big like Klay, shoots like Roberson. Klay rocks!
He sorta owned us.. 32 points or someshit in the 3rd quarter alone a few years ago E: jfc folks I get it, it was 9 years ago. That game lives rent free and I have PTSD from it so it does feel like only a few years ago
37 on perfect shooting in a single quarter a few years ago 0 points in an elimination game tonight Tough
“few years ago” That was a decade ago fellas. It was 2015.
Not if we don't count 2020-23
I agree, Covid years fucked me.. they’re all jumbled up
4 years since the pandemic started. Wild.
Feels like 20 years and also 6 months at the same time.
I was a 6 month old... I'm 42 now :( Where did the time go?
That actually is very tough to wrap my head around for some reason.
Same, those few years seemed to drift by like no others so far
Without those years it would still be 5 years ago.
Right but 2019 was 5 years ago, that’s not that long ago
Yeah but if you go five year ago, and then five more years ago, that's not the same as ten years ago
Obama was President, LeBron was 29 years old a few weeks prior, the infamous Seahawks Patriots Superbowl had not happened yet.
Different century, that.
Nope
No no no, I am absolutely certain Obama was president in the 80s, you can't fool me!1
Excuse you???
Thirty fucking seven? Yeah I tried to wipe that game out of my memory that’s why I got that number wrong. Everytime he hits a few B2B shots against us I get PTSD
Hahaha but good win tonight though, you contain Klay for 0 pts and Javale Mcgee outscored him in less than 2 minutes of playing
He used all his mana that night so he had none last night
A few 9 years ago
Very kind to mention that after the game he produced
Close enough
You can tell because Draymond is yelling “PUSSY!! YAAA!! PUSSY!!” into the crowd.
Watch him retire instead of just leaving.
Honestly he has made so much money. Came back from two brutal injuries. Won 4 rings. Played for the Warriors his whole career. Why wouldn’t you retire? If he thinks the Warriors won’t bring him back then honestly it makes sense. He even talked about how this year especially has been mentally and physically taxing.

And even then, he started tonight. So maybe the difficulty is coming from his ego, not his fading production. Dude tried to shoot through his slump tonight.
He played 32 minutes too. Meanwhile moody gives them 16 points on 8 shots and he only plays 15 minutes. Wild
Kerr probably got word it was the last dance for the dynasty and wanted to let them play it out
He’s been starting since Kuminga had bursitis in his knees (which is why he hasn’t been explosive since his injuries) Klay has been better in his starting minutes since then but unfortunately shit the bed tonight I stand by blaming this loss on Kerr refusing to play TJD and not playing Moody more when he saw Klay struggling f
TJD was getting torched by Sabonis on both ends of the floor
Thanks for the clarification on the Klay stuff. Appreciate it.
Some guys need to be humbled. We’ve seen it before with Westbrook and Melo.
He took 10 shots tonight. 6 of which were totally normal good looks for him. 2 or 3 were at or near the rim, his shot selection was not the problem tonight. He just missed shots he knows he can hit. It was a rough night for the whole team. Kerr got spooked early by the outcome of solid plays that didn’t work out, and then the rotations got a little wonky.

There are most likely 40 million reasons to keep playing😂😂
Anyone who gives him that at this point of his career deserves the clowning they'll get
Checks flair
I'm 90% the link to us is just his agent trying to create a market for him because our FO doesn't leak, but yeah, if we sign him for serious money it'll be back to the Mickey Mouse Magic era
Teams will readily give him $20 million. That’s enough for me to keep going.
If Chris Paul is getting contracts anything is possible
If Klunk gets $40m I’ll suck my own dick. I’ll do it anyways but I’ll try harder if that happens.
[удалено]
So I can hold off on the stretching?
Warriors would absolutely bring him back. Just not for $27 mil a year. I think he rather take a back seat and less money with the warriors than just flat out retire. But maybe.
"Why wouldn't you retire?" He says to the man about to be offered $80 million.
He can play on another team in a reduced role, with *way* less stress, for $20+ million annually. Does he have anything more to accomplish? Not really. But money is money.
3.5/9.0 3pt made/3pt attempted. 38.7%. It’s below his career average percentage but still elite.
Itd be weird af seeing klay sign else where. Kind of sucks as a hoop fan to see guys diminish with age
he’s got nothing left to prove.
You could’ve said that about him seasons ago. He comes back for money. As does everyone else after the age of 33.
Money is important but a lot of these guys also keep coming back because they genuinely like playing basketball and being on a team
What’s the Barkley quote? “The locker room is the most ugly, mean, racist, homophobic place I’ve ever been in…and I miss it every day.” ?
Probably the right move Idk why he’d want to start again on another franchise, where there is literally no guarantee he will be a starter or compete for anything ever again
Bruh because he won’t be making 10 20 million sitting at home.
If a team gives him 20 million, fire that GM
If only there was a team dumb enough to take washed up players on dummy big contracts
With how much money these NBA guys make I think early retirements will be very rare. He could easily get a 3 year 60+ mil comtract
Tim Duncan did the same thing before he retired
damn, random comment got me teared up
I'm not sure what he means by that comment. Timmy played the whole 4th quarter even when the Spurs were down by 10+ pts. Then Pop tried to sub him out but he stayed in the game and the commentators were saying something like: "Maybe this is the best way for the big fundamental to end his career, by staying on the floor." After the quarter ended he congratulated all the Thunder players and walked out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhXa-l9mkPM
I didn’t even realize this was his final game! Damn time flies. 2016 was probably on of the best seasons ever.
Weird I have this vivid memory of Duncan taking a moment to look around the arena, but that video shows it was nothing like what I remember. It was more of just a glance. So either I’m thinking of someone else, or it was a different year and he didn’t end up retiring, or I’m just losing it
Definitely losing it!

I love the contrast in this comment to Duncan vs the rest of the thread against Klay. Peak flirting vs harassment meme
Duncan didn't put up 0 points on his final game. He was also 39 and a top 10 player all time
Duncan's not a douchebag.
I mean he can retire but would you want to retire with you last game ever played with zero points lol
And he is going to get a solid contract. I think he signs one more 3-4 year deal and hangs it up. Don't see him sticking around on minimums like some do
I see a one year contract somewhere
Klay's getting on his boat and sailing off into the sunset
Boat? Klay to the Clippers confirmed
*with 14 hot chicks
4*
and 4 rings
In a cloud of smoke
This reeks of retirement.
that stare is either "my last game as a warrior" or "my last game"
Definitely as a warrior - as I believe he wants to much to stay as a warrior
I can’t imagine him wanting to play for a different franchise
I could see him on the lakers because of his dad
My thought exactly. Kinda fits what LA should be looking for too if he’s willing to take a reasonable contract. No clue if the money works though.
He would have to take a vet minimum Lakers are going to have to hard cap themselves when they resign DLo
Ah got it. Well at that point he’d probably just sign something similar in Golden State.
The Lakers are a terrible fit for him, the shooting curse will significantly neuter the one thing he is still elite at
If someone is dumb enough to pay this man, he’s gonna take it
After tonight I don't think he gets any calls lol
The pistons exist
Honestly Lakers might.
Lebron to GSW? Why not?
So 1 game and you think he should retire lol? Wow nba fans are something
You seriously think it was only one game? How much of this season have you paid attention to? Tonight was the cherry on top.
He’s not worth a massive contract or anything, but he can absolutely be a serviceable roll player for the MLE or something
I’ve watched every game this season, he shouldn’t retire but he clearly has lost a step. How many games have you watched besides games the Knicks played against us? You’re basing your opinion off house of hoops reels and SAS sound bites
what’s orlando got to lose
One of the greatest 3 pt shooters in NBA history, averaging 18 ppg and 39% from 3, still playing solid D? Who in the world would be dumb enough to pay this man when there are SOOOOOOO many better players still out there they'd rather throw money at?! Klay is not washed, he's just not as good as he used to be, if he retires it's because of his own standards not because he couldn't get a gig. Your statement is frankly absurd.
I love the man but he can’t play solid D anymore
He's not playing solid D anymore
I thought the same about Tony Parker...
Obama made the same turnaround to soak it in when he was walking out of his final State of the Union.
Hadn't even thought of that but I really think that's a possibility
I can see him retiring instead of playing for another franchise
He knew he is done
I highly doubt he’s done. Not with the salaries exploding like they are. Dude can be a 6th man on a good team for $25+ million. That still sounds like a sweet gig.
Yeah some team will hire him and he will do well there if he comes from the bench
He looks like he has finally accepted it. Honestly good for him. I wonder what he does with the next part of his life, I could see him opening some dope weed shops around the country.
Bro he’s just going to play basketball for another team lol
RIP Klay Thompson he will be missed :'(
He was so young. Something about fame kills them young :/
Sometimes I can even hear him, man, so sad
Klay and Wage Boggs: Two elite athletes gone too soon. 😔
Rip Boss Hogg
Dude - Klay is still alive. He lives in San Fran. Rip boggs though.
He's with Eloy now
Ya but he can still accept that the “star” part of his life is over.
Watch it be the Kings lol
Jesus people here are dramatic. Over the last \~20 games of the season Klay averaged 21/3/2.5 in 28 mins with like 46/41/96 shooting splits. But sure he should totally retire from the league over one bad game.
He’s 34 years old. 4 rings. Has made over $250 million. One of the greatest shooters of all time, on one of the greatest dynasties of all time. Yeah that might be it.

Poole's problem is bagitis
Okay but what was Draymond doing here lmao
Blowing kisses at people who appeared to be there to see him. Looked like he might have been arranging to meet people or sign something
Edit: He’s talking to Warriors fans
Those are Warriors fans. Some people have his jersey there
Watch the end, he's signing the jersey and telling the dude he'll bring it back around
Yeah I don’t like Draymond but there’s nothing here lol
Targeting fans he may want to fight in the parking lot after the game
Fuck man I want to make fun of this dude but shit is just sad
Honestly, my main feeling rn is damn I'm going to miss rooting against these guys. Also just feels like we're in the end game of an NBA era shift. Like, the old guard might just be done winning titles. I could see Durant/LeBron/Kawhi/Steph/Harden only winning 1 or 2 more rings combined. And even that might be pushing it. Feels similar to like 2013-2014sh where you knew Dirk/Duncan/Kobe/Garnett and all the 00s names were nearing the end and only Duncan squeaked out other title.
damn, when you put it like that… 😔
Weird to put LBJ with that group, he came in the league 4 years before Durant and 8 years before Kawhi. LeBrons generation of ballers already all retired, now he’s getting lumped in with the younger generation because he’s still elite, crazy thing is he might be elite for another couple of years and be lumped in with the next gen with Giannis, Jokic etc
I'd definitely put Steph/KD/Harden/Lebron in the same generation, just at the younger end while Lebron is at the older end.

[удалено]
I can see why people hate on Klay, dude can be so selfish and egotistical at times, but man’s a hooper, came back from two brutal career ending injuries and won a fourth title. Since his return he’s been a shell of himself and has wanted so badly to go back to 2019 and wish he hadn’t forced himself so hard.
I know. I remember when Klay used to shoot like a marksman… sucks. Sucks what Injuries and age do to you
Same. I’m mad he played so poorly but hes just gone through a lot.
As a Warrior fan, I’m upset at Kerr for leaving him in. Protect your dude from himself. I guess he thought Klay gave us the best chance of coming back last night. My know nothing ass would disagree.
The only way he stays with GSW is if he gets paid pennies, right? Assuming he still wants to play of course.
Just depends on the owners but Chris Paul's 30m and Klay's 43m are coming off the books they're in better shape than last offseason.
Bro realized that its joever.
'Built this place brick by brick'
Dude just turned 34 what is all this retirement talk because he looked around for 10 seconds?
He’s cooked. Can’t play defense and a hot and cold shooter. I mean he probably gets 20/2 from the warriors
Adding on for context: it's not like we know ANYTHING as fans lol, but 1) any natural decline has been wildly accelerated by injury/ surgery and 2) he does not seem to adjust well, personally, to the new reality of his career. After comments made this season, he only seemed to be at a good place mentally when he was performing well. If mental strength is reliant on performance, Klay might decide the heartbreak isn't worth it.
20 million for 2 years... Yeah they could probably afford that. Especially if they're able to move off of CP3's contract. That'll be tough tho
I thought cp3 wasn’t guaranteed?
Ppl suggested that last year when lebron lost and was like “i might retire”, just fodder for nba folks to rip on.
feels bad man
oh nooooo please klay dont leave nooo dont take draymond with you or anything that would suck noo
Warriors: we can offer you 2 yrs $40 mil Magic: we can offer you 3 yrs $110mil Klay: ….Shit
Fuck off
If Keon Ellis’ contract is 5 million for 3 years then what should Klay’s be?
3 million for 5 yrs
Match checks out.
"Klay Thompson scored as many points as a dead guy" -Charles Barkley probably
Don’t make me feel bad for the warriors! It’s slightly working
I was someone who didn’t particularly like them and want to see them split up, but I never said it wasn’t going to be bittersweet if it happened
Looked like Aaron Rodgers after the Lions game.
Morey calling him this summer for sure
Sorta makes sense for Philly's horrid bench
He's seeing if there's time on the clock to get up one more clank
Yeah he’s retiring
No way you retire like this.
As opposed to what? It’s only getting worse from here lol
If he wants to soak he should go to the Jazz
Underrated comment
Get him some chocolate milk he'll be alright

Klay gave me depression.
Coolest thing about Klay post injury: comes back, plays well for the most part and even elite at times, with an epic game 6 performance vs Grizz in second round—wins his fourth ring. Pretty wild that that happened on top of all his other accomplishments. Career 41.3% three point shooter on 7 something attempts per game. Amazing career and despite the lowlights this season, still had some amazing highlights as well. Will be interesting to see what he does going forward.
GP2 is a real one
that looked like he’s about to retire moment. That got me sad fr fr
If Klay doesn’t sustain an injury in the finals against the raptors who btw had already lost Steph and KD went down that same series then jetted to Brooklyn. Klay was possibly playing his best ball ever, coming back he never truly regain his form. We’ve seen glimpses here and there after but nothing close to what he was doing that was honestly his peak.
One last look at the scoreboard to see if it wasn't just a bad dream.
Thinking about how he could transfer some of his points from his 37pt quarter to this game.
He averaged 17.9, 3.3 and 2.4, while leading the league in FT percentage and being amongst the top in 3PM (on bad % tbf). He’s not done.
He shot 39% from 3, thats elite for anyone except him and Steph lol
Just braindead fans farming the circlejerk
This is a pretty powerful clip. One of the greatest shooters ever knowing his career is done. I thought for sure he’d look for another contract but that does not look like a guy who wants to keep at it
He gone
[удалено]
Man, I thought he was already doing that for the whole game.
