[@danteinfero]

Klay grinding getting back right and healthy over the few years has been impressive, but I’ve been just as impressed by how much more open he’s become over the years. It was VERY SELDOM to hear Klay speak. He has definitely let his guard down and got out his shell.

[@rimimimimimimimim4170]

I’m glad this dropped, and tbh the injuries were devastating, but there were some good that came from it, like Klay talked about how he discovered loads of new things he enjoyed other than basketball since he had so much time I think he’s a lot more open like you said after coming back and he seems really comfortable in the NBA

[@DavidBagga]

I played against Klay when he was at Washington state. He was a freshman when I was a senior. People don’t realize how nice he was even back then. We saw the glimpses and the perfect shooting form he had but he put all the work in to get to this point. Dude deserves all the success he’s gotten, and he’s nowhere close to being done yet. Keep up the great work Klay! 👌🏽🏀

It's something about a low maintenance, humble, Superstar that makes you root for them even if they're not on your team.

Well oiled machine that will be great for years to come. It’s such a great time to be a warriors fan and going thru a 2 year slump with your team makes it so much more special. Klay is such a genuine guy and he deserves all that he has. Such a hard worker. Let’s go get number 5!!!! #dubnation

Got 3 Warriors vs Pelicans tickets for 60$ in New Orleans Beginning of the 2014-2015 szn. Jrue and Tyreke both had 30+. Street Clothes(AD) was hurt. Steph didn’t dribble once I swear, and he seemed to always be open in both corner, had over 30. Klay was red hot. Livingston ate. Iggy was everywhere. Pelicans had the game, Warriors came back, overtime and Warriors won. Great memory. Will never get Warrior tickets that cheap again

@Vichinsky Elien My physical showed I had scoliosis which I never knew I even had and the school's doctor I had said I need to stop playing basketball immediately. They did not clear me which at the time was devastating but it's all good! I was just young and not educated enough on making the right decision. I also did not have the right people around me, so lesson learned. I went pro in something else though, designing 3d animation for some of the same players I grew up watching so I'm content I still ball out though as much as possible and haven't had any major issues with my back, at least not yet.
