This dude holding back tears this entire time. Homie loves the bay. We love you Klay!

Yeah… you can feel it. Dude wishes he was still here I think…. Good Luck Klay! 🔥🔥🔥

This is what I thought too, he doesn't show much emotion and I know he's holding it back since he still mad about the contract

so true bro i'm in tears when he talks bro i feel so sad for him 😭😭

[@itsbeyxnd]

@@bobd2078I feel like klay regrets leaving but idk. Bro shoulda put that 0-10 behind him, accepted that contract and put his head down and grinding but bro wanted to be a diva and quit on the dubs smh.

[@zooom6286]

He wasnt hurting when he did 0/10 as well😂

[@StevenDavid-4q2]

Klay was moved by us, the fans, tonight of the love, gratitude and respect we shown him. He will always be a Warrior, maybe not in uniform, but in the heart and thankful for what he accomplished here. That can never be taken away, just cherished until the end of time.

[@plainsimple244]

We still love him, we still miss him, I loved seeing his mother cry with the compassion shown that her son was loved and the impact he had because of the type of man he was and the respect with which he carried himself, especially after that injury and coming back winning that title. We wish he were with the Warriors and he should have had that last shot to try and get that game not Luka -- that's why Dallas won't win, they cannot devise a scheme to get the right guys open and to open up the court, their strategy stinks.

You can tell he’s holding back tears. Klay is top 100 greatest player of all times in my eyes. He should’ve made the top 75. Congratulations 🍾🎈🎊🎉 Splash brother..

[@MrWeeds]

He would probably make those 75 if not for so many injuries .. He still one of the greatest shooters I've seen , but lacks consistency like Steph and the injuries fked up is above average carreer

[@nelAjamZ]

Top 200.

[@keithpedroso1282]

Top76 men😂

[@dr3iii]

Definitely a top 75 player he holds records like most 3's in a game, most pts in a quarter and multiple championship what else needs to say

[@boguy3242]

But also played with Steph curry and kd, I don’t knock him but top 75 is questionable, I seen him miss hella shots though lol

Definitely wishing Klay well. It hurts when we lose one of our primary pillars, but such is this crazy thing called Life.

@@jdapaul1351 this is a fantastic idea. Business is business. Maybe Warriors organization isnt willing to pay the $$$ Klay rightfully deserved at this moment. But on Klay’s last contract if he is open to it, front office better do the best they can to get Klay back and retire as a Warrior.
