[@jorbemesis1157]

I respect Klay a lot for this answer.

[@BigZo22]

💯 yeah he kept it real real on that incident…💯

[@desi2031]

Most certainly. He is a multi champion, I thought it was a low blow to hit Book with the four fingers in the moment. However, I think this answer shows his maturity after being given time to reflect on his initial response when a great player was giving him the business!

[@bigdripbobz1072]

U only respect klay if u now greatly increase ur respect booker along with it ...otherwise u just a hater.

[@MiguelHernandez-ej7dn]

Klay couldve took that answer the same direction and he went the opposite route with his response , class.

[@bradleyhommerson6541]

Yeah you have to give Book props the Suns fucked him for a while until this new Owner came into the picture. KD and Bradley Beal!? Tf best trio the league has seen in a while

[@devspice]

Shout out to Klay for the self-awareness and accountability.

[@alcoballic9593]

Agreed. Using the championships is not a good clap back. It’s like a rapper dissing someone using record sales. When comes to player vs player and you’re in a series, it’s about the series and not about what you’ve done in the past. Save that ring talk after you retire.

[@bradleyhommerson6541]

Yeah Booker was busting him all night. Klay couldn’t make a single shot on Book even though he was going to town. He was just mad at himself 😂.

[@Trevoruhri]

Fr

[@goodeatzentertainment1415]

That is what you call accountability most of y’all should take notes

[@JerkzCrewInc]

Thats a fact

[@IAMMRONALD]

You should take not

Joel embiid comes to mind 😂

[@IlovetreesAlot]

U too bro😂

[@NoHypebeastZay]

YOU should take notes

[@yazzjudyyy]

The part when he said,”That’s on Wikipedia.” 😂

[@mambamentality5875]

was a light flex though!

[@yazzjudyyy]

@@mambamentality5875 yesssss, that’s one of the reasons why he’s my favorite!

[@replicantona]

It ties up with the rest of the podcast, because they had a segment talking about wikipedia and how Klay will go on rabbit holes exploring there.

Big respect hearing him say this

[@walmelo1150]

this might be the realest moment of self-realization i've seen any mildly-famous person have shoutout Klay man 😭💯

[@dtownlove10]

The rare “grown man” response

[@Fammer_cc]

That’s a good answer after everyone disrespecting him for always saying 4 rings

[@danieljenkins7951]

He has done it more than this once with Book.

[@dexterjsullen]

I heard he gave a little kid fan 4 fingers for 4 rings

[@curtiszyr]

Lmao the dixk riding is still insane 😂😂

[@priztucker]

How tf can you not rate Klay? Classy answer right there.

[@brandoncrockett9266]

One of the many reasons why he’s cruising on into the Hall of Fame. That’s how champs talk

[@KDubble32]

I respect the answer and admission. Because it was clear that was the reason he did it. Props to Klay for that!

props to you man, for being one of the lone ppl on the chat to give respect to both BOOKER AND KLAY - most casual hater fans among this chat are just not able to do so. Respect to you too @cesarh911

[@Nohesitone214]

Klay Thompson is a real one

[@sdriza]

Klay is outstanding young man

[@dwannthomas9543]

admitting when wrong is one of the hardest things for people to do

[@gkelly650]

Keeping it 💯 that’s what mature players do. We alll get caught in our feelings

[@gokilokis]

This is a man of honor and blessed with wisdom

[@johncambridge7181]

It was just heat of the moment. Some said Klay was being cocky but that just heat moment. Klay doesn’t talk much but when he does or gets interviewed his interview always fun to hear. Klay always has that honest answers and humility.

[@MMA30001]

So real. One of the best things I've heard from an NBA player in a while. I'm not particularly a Warriors fan, but this dude is gonna make me have to go out and get his jersey just for this answer alone. 😄

[@MarcioakaRatinho]

That's beautiful ❤

What a guy. Respect 🙌

[@icarrus4u]

King Klay. 👑

[@j0rdan172]

Klay Thompson gained hella respect points🫡

[@rayrawket]

That’s what’s up! Klay humbly admit to being human and having flaws says alot about his character. Others would’ve made up something dumb to go along with why they did it

[@ryshadjamal4063]

Respect. Not too many would admit that.

[@solo_0001]

Always liked Klay. Hated golden state back in the day but had high respect/fear of his game on both ends.

[@spawn6459]

Man I don’t care what nobody say Klay is that dude bro 💪🏾💯

[@miyasato1]

I guess klay always in his feelings cuz he literally does that flex to everyone 😂😂

[@wesleycuban8649]

They got dog walked by everyone on the road last year. It’s all he had 😂 if he do it this season we know what’s up

[@plusnew8306]

You said he does it to everyone but failed to mention others. You are a lie. Just say you are jealous of the Warriors

[@Jay-qm8cx]

Klay a stand up guy, fair play to him

[@franciswall4248]

Wow! Much respect to Klay for that

[@customconcern1]

It became a meme because it’s so out of character for him. But him admitting it is wrong is very in character. Klay is awesome.

[@frankieseminara6560]

That’s why I like klat, he’s gave a very humble and respectful answer but he can flex because he has those rings and booker doesn’t
