Klay is the second best shooter in NBA history in my eyes only behind Curry. He Just seems Like he's not aggressive offensively sometimes. Kd is the best player on Gs but I think they should there offense threw Steph&Klay and Let Kd get his in 2nd Quarter Like Klay does now.

@icarus432hz9 6 жыл бұрын

james moye Klay is a 2 way player. His defense is top notch. If my apurs would have snatched him when they had the chance him and Kawhi would destroy the NBA.

would love that combination tbh. hopefully what danny green said about kawhi was right man. Always love the spurs. respect!

@cheekypasta55 6 жыл бұрын

3:35 Only people who play basketball can truly appreciate and understand how INSANELY DIFFICULT and RIDICULOUS that 3pt shot is. Completely ignoring the fact that hes 8 feet behind the line........His feet not being square, shooting from his hip, rotating in mid air all while flat footed. Then you add in the distance and over an athletic defender. Incredible shot.

@moha9559 6 жыл бұрын

For him and Curry its not a difficult shot.....That was bad defence from westbrook daring a sniper to shoot the damn ball

@cheekypasta55 6 жыл бұрын

No, it is a difficult shot. Thats just how good Klay and Curry are , because they make it look easy. And bad defense? A shooter holding the ball in that position 34 feet from the basket wouldve caught anyone off guard.

Nah bro not at all wtf u talking about. I got mad respect for Klay. Dude KD was talking to Draymond during the damn off-season Klaus performance had nothing to do with it. OKC lost this series together not just because of one great shooting night from Klay. KD was always going to GS he used this as an excuse tho. Dude couldn't even say it to our faces had to send text messages and post it on the internet lmao. Look at his face here he won't even answer cuz he knows he's a hoe

@benjamingrunert3306 6 жыл бұрын

I still find this his most impressive performance (even over the 60 point game and 37 point quarter) due to the enormity of the situation that game and the fact that it was also an away game in OKC, one of the toughest home crowds in the league.

The exact moment kd wanted to come to gsw. Seeing 1/2 of the splash bros ability to shoot. Warriors CANNOT revolve around KD. The warriors we’ve come to know and love must operate and run on the engine of the ball movement and 3 pt shooting from curry and Klay. That’s when they are dominant. That’s when the defense is spread and running on skates

I remember this game like yesterday lmao it was so crazy to witness that kind of game. Everyone blamed KD and rightfully so he didn't play well but Westbrook was awful almost this entire series. Especially this game. I remember him shooting those deep 3s like hes curry and missed every single one. After this game I realized no one can play with Westbrook.
