Klay Thompson's 2016 Western Conference finals Game 6 performance vs. Thunder | ESPN Archives

[@rhhr9169]

He does this guarding the opponents best pg/sg

[@LifelsGreat]

Rh Hr exactly so underrated

[@donntknoow575]

Rh Hr haters will say he is overrated lol the man stays killing elimination gamea

[@ayooot5850]

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]

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.

[@judyclarkson5887]

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

[@yvngchestnut3655]

Had to come back to this after 2022 game 6 warriors vs grizzlies. Not even a warriors fan but this is such a legendary performance

[@javiervanterpool9249]

same my guy 🤣🤣

[@mookiestewart3776]

Game 6 klay will be talked about for decades to come lol

[@jameskim1505]

He's born for it

[@stronghold8266]

Ifiots

[@abhijithashok2564]

Im here to after game 6 klay helped the lakers win

[@grrr3306]

Curry and klay should be the focal points of gs they are so much better to watch

[@Swaveyntn]

They should trade KD for Harrison Barnes, and get jarret jack, Bogut, David Lee and maybe Ellis somehow. XD

[@wzdom852]

Swaveyntn no

[@BryanX64]

Too bad KD snaked his way in

[@DonRabbitAK]

TheChunlilover and people that aren’t Golden State Bandwagons like KD

[@DonRabbitAK]

TheChunlilover how do you know people don’t have accomplishments in their own lives? That’s a pretty idiotic statement. And how is hugging KD’s nuts an accomplishment for you? Dude was bitch made for that, stop with that sugar coating cupcake stuff. People supposed to forget KD is a bitch just because it happened 2 years ago? What kind of shit is that?

[@Jindujun]

those shots were just absolutely mindblowing, even 5 years later Im sitting here shaking my head.

[@waltercampbell9787]

"We both blocked that year out of our minds" 😂😂 love how they can bond over that

[@stevo19451]

This man deserves a Max contract tbh

[@graigdenis2971]

J he cant get a super max he failed to qualify

[@takingover7805]

Steve Kim from somewhere else but never with the warriors. They don’t appreciate him.

[@seanb2009]

lol you clearly have no idea how a super max works..

[@graigdenis2971]

Sean B who me cuz ik how it works and its already been confirmed he doesn’t qualify after failing to make the all nba team

[@randy0210]

Graig Denis Are you on crack?

[@jahvon8083]

Klay will go down as one of the most ice cold killers the game has seen

[@caucandyellow]

Those game 6 flashbacks got me emotional man. Dude saved the Warriors season, even though they lost in the finals.

[@papaproduction]

The most underrated playoff performance ever. This legit might be a top 5 game in the playoffs of all time! Never see it get spoken about tho. Klay the quiet achiever

[@jeffsamuels2539]

Bro not underrated. He earned his nickname off of this.

[@kwalex6882]

To me he's the second greatest shooter of all time right after Curry. Ray was amazing but he didn't shoot the three at the rate these guys are shooting.

[@moha9559]

Klay has more range and is a better shooter than Ray Allen

[@kwalex6882]

Maxamad Cabdi Xassan fax

[@dsp2go]

Also a better defender too. Being a 2 way player is TOUGH.

[@supermoneymagnet1]

I agree but if you replace PRIME Milwaukee Ray Allen with Klay there is no dropoff honestly. Ray used to attack the basket as well and in his time he was the best shooter by far.

[@jvtopflight796]

Must have missed prime Ray.. Or Ray in game 2 vs Lakers in the Finals

[@LloydAlmighty]

Klay Thompson is the reason KD is on the Golden State Warriors

[@alonzowatchesvids]

Reporters during the press conference nd ESPN throwing shade lol. The return when OKC had GS down in the playoffs lol. *It was at this moment when Durant knew, he was gone* LOL.

[@AuburnFanSince2010]

Alonzo Watches Vids Gone? It was game 6. You're saying what we all think, KD threw the series?

[@alonzowatchesvids]

Russell Westbrook Fan since 2010 A Joke? Can you not read?

[@michaelwong7336]

Lol, also when Durant knew, old wounds were opened 😅

[@Wyndamn]

I was just thinking the same thing!!!

[@Dreaaddy]

Russell Westbrook Fan since 2010 the fact that you need that clarify that in your username makes me think you recently became a Westbrook fan

[@princesimmons6039]

GAME 6 KLAY

[@cheekypasta55]

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]

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

[@cheekypasta55]

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.

[@rudystraight1750]

Lmao that wasnt 8 feet behind the line. It was 4

[@SurfyXO]

Thats what they get paid for.

[@judyclarkson5887]

you sum it up really well.

[@shawndimacali9254]

thompson did it again in 2022 "game 6 klay"

[@benjamingrunert3306]

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.

[@Yamas258]

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

[@Bryan_Pureblood]

Cobra L

[@coreythomas3633]

Tom Yamaguchi smh no

[@takwandeazle1095]

We need this klay tonight 🔥🔥🔥 letssss goooooooooo game 6 klay time

[@Yamas258]

This guy is legendary. On his own.

[@nbaclutchhoops1589]

This might have been one of the most exciting seasons of all time (including playoffs)

[@GOHST13ly]

OKC fans must hate Thompson. Dude made ya boy KD leave lol

[@ARS_Time_Bomb]

SpiralWeb no KD made KD leave. OKC fans hate KD for choking then joining that team.

[@Noors14]

Zanyah 17 nobody would really be hating if he went to another team other than warriors

[@ARS_Time_Bomb]

noors exactly that's my point.

[@Zach-qo7mz]

Zanyah 17 he left Westbrook for a reason tho

[@tomriddlefin2851]

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

[@akugiace25]

Im so happy for klay... Finally getting the attention he deserves.

[@michaelcarter8029]

Even the OKC crowd shifted on klays side lol. You gotta love greatness 🔥

[@unholydiver1095]

Klay is definitely the most likable Warrior. For both Warriors fans and non-Warriors fans and one of the most underrated in the NBA

[@bingjr8063]

Klay "For Trey" Thompson. I much trust his shot than Curry and Durant in this WCF tbh. On rythm, focused and nothing is forced. GSW in 7 in Klay we trust.

[@javonakers9017]

bing jr He’s probably, debatably, the quickest player to catch on fire and stay on fire. When he has a rhythm going... GG in the chat boys

[@Odyseuss08]

nothing is forced? 80% is forced!!!! :D Just he has the confidence, will & skill to sink it! :D

[@cristian0382]

I love my Rockets but damn this dude just killed us with 9 3s. Respect that man damn he a god

[@Odyseuss08]

I think that was his biggest game of his career! deep respect! That was GOAT level!

[@PBJ.Editzzz]

The Birth of Game 6 Klay

[@emangucci2218]

This is why he my favorite player 🔥✈️

[@LyfeCreations337]

Pure Heart and Will.

[@jamesshaff2070]

Does anyone remember the day after game 6 when the Oklahoma City Mayor on the wiki page was changed to Klay Thompson? LEGEND

[@ballislifejr1850]

Klay Thompson The Human Torch 🔥

[@grrr3306]

7 years later i want klay to this in game 6 vs lakers

[@Dynomite611]

“GAME 6 KLAY”

[@butterheads6985]

Klay Thompson one of the greatest

[@oscardelabarrera8803]

Wow what the Klay do in this game was incredible. A thing that never be repeat

[@alexcarroll7666]

The 2016 playoffs was the best NBA competition I've seen (28 years old) in my life. The Thunder, Warriors & Cavs were all SO good & executed at such a high level. Amazing

[@ctaduran]

So many of these not even touching rim. Beautiful.

[@BlackKingBaby911]

if kd never left the thunder and somehow cp3 joined the rockets and kawhi was healthy they would be like 3 game 7's in 2 rounds

[@heroball8444]

Purple Cod it’s amazing how cupcake ruined it all

[@vowswerve5933]

2 game 7s in 3 rounds?

[@BlackKingBaby911]

VowSwerve only 2 teams in the third round in each division

[@ohmyassoff1087]

kyrie probably wouldn't leave cleaveland either. GS nd Cavs was shaping up to be one of the best rivalries of all time but KD ruined it. Its like he doesnt belong in the story and they ended 1-1 against each other

[@Noors14]

oh my ass off yeah sadly very entertaining to watch before his ass came in the bandwagon

[@ismael5361]

klay the goat

[@evansherman7200]

Oklazz _City better than Westbrook easily

[@ismael5361]

Evan Sherman nah

[@doxazo5512]

3:34 was where I finally couldn't believe it. He's just like "I will take this shot. I will make this shot. Thank you Russell for participating"

[@azariahtedford8804]

This men is the real deal

[@jamiekoh6113]

This Warriors team was FUN god damn

[@seven92023]

Greatness. When someone makes something difficult look so easy. Klay did in their gym!

[@joyboy4270]

Absolute heartbreaker this one

[@christhecommentator3411]

The game that made Thompson a future hall of famer

[@bballbeast456]

Miss these days

[@damiancobb8177]

Big game 6 coming up

[@danii-fresh1814]

Miss this klay 😢😢😢

[@ZELHBK]

Warriors only 💛💙Klay💙💛

[@warrenempleo1164]

Year of the 3-1 chockers

[@spurstilidie4637]

Klay is Mr. Game 6!💯

[@meowmixsnipergang]

This is just absolutely insane

[@mohammadhelal5630]

Best jumper I've ever seen

[@errolgreen2490]

The ninja him self klay

[@heyjorn2461]

My fav player in gsw

[@_prodsky]

i miss Klay man

[@MichaelP-ke1tm]

Klay is a superstar on any other team in the league. Hes a #2, not a #3. They won a ring with him as the #2 and won 73 games.

[@marcusrushin8255]

Klay is a monster

[@azariahbedford6222]

This it's like NBA jam hes on fire

[@ragingsavage9059]

This was my first ever nba game. I had my curry jersey on. After the historical season of winning 73 games. I was gonna go down with the ship or witness history glad it was the latter.

[@nithilanamudhan6260]

And tonight he is coming back after 2 long years. The hype is real

[@Dux310]

Klay saves the day for GS, Steph gets all the credit.

[@mitchfandnoahg]

Klay is the real deal

[@mitchfandnoahg]

Mike Henry Showtime is in their blood

[@JeebyTube]

Game 6 klay is a goat

[@mangus8415]

He's back 😍

[@laughingjoker]

Can’t wait for him tomorrow ⌛️

[@Vuirotto]

he's taking his 1st L of the season but he'll do great 🔥

[@anthonycovington6573]

Coldest shooter in the game

[@XizheCheng]

3:35 someone notice that Steve Kerr called for a PnR during the play while KT already made that ridiculous shot which drives Kerr crazy. Even Kerr can't believe he made it

[@superperformance]

Klay is key to winning for the Warriors

[@jez443]

The GOAT

[@raulgutierrez4923]

He cold 👌👌👌🔥🔥🔥

[@MichaelP-ke1tm]

Top 3 shooter of all time. Klay Curry and Nash.

[@philipojo332]

best game of his career

[@맥콜ZERO]

제발 내일도 klay in 6!!!! 믿는다

[@AdrianBrown]

He has one of the most CONFIDENT jumpshots I've EVER seen

[@Brotherhood676]

Had to come to this video after the debate of Warriors Vs. 97 bulls....im not saying the Warriors win but how do you guard this.....hand in his face it doesnt matter, when hes in a zone its lights out for him especially him and steph in transition.

[@Anythingispossible170]

Last night it did the same thing He didn’t want to go home. He loves to play.

[@jeromes2767]

Jackson Tyson Jordan Game 6. We need you Klay

[@Slenderirl]

Damn! make that foo put in on the floor and drive! 11 3's aint right!

[@tydw1911]

Great video salute

[@jonathonstanford5791]

This is the game that made durat show he's true colors and also that he can't finish off a team down 3-1.

[@otbway]

Nice montages... And love Curry's answer helped his partner to remove some pressure from that question... He lost in the final blew up a 3 1 lead, after dominating 73-9 in regular season ... He should block up this year

[@trey_.651]

When you hear “ klay thompson “ and “ game 6 “ dont get too happy if you on the other team

[@Fiction2K24]

Came back to watch this after hearing the news about Klay.

[@arnaldovital4578]

O dia que Klay acabou com uma franquia e garantiu dois títulos para o Warriors.

[@bsimmonds1733]

Greatest shooting performance of all time, dont @ me

[@ricksanchez3262]

Klay top 10 no doubt

[@Rickola01]

Lock and loaded for game 7. Go Dubs!

[@kiki42719]

Man, what a killer

[@eczotiic8026]

Game 6 Klay > Masked Kyrie

[@rirojijoisgr1226]

We gonna need that Monday night Klay.

[@fredrickjohnson7711]

real talk go warriors

[@kinggee5605]

When a player is this hot it’s hard to beat their team especially a team like the Warriors that year.

[@killedward2882]

I noticed that Klay’s feet came together on the apex of his release on multiple shots in this flashback but nowadays he doesn’t do this. It’s more of a set shot these days.

[@miguelomary5318]

Klay is the only Warrior I don't hate. He isn't cocky or anything.

[@xSings]

Best spot up shooter in the nba right here

[@neilbob0]

Future hall of famer

[@edmarjasonlorzano7007]

I could say Durant didn't choke in 2016, He's the one scoring in there, He put up 30 ppg on 7 game series,highest in that series. They just come up short. Sorry Kd should not be blame but westbricky and bench

[@MarceloG-wc1wh]

Edmar Jason Lorzano if lebost had done that shit. Everybody blame her teammates like in that moment. LOGIC

[@LM-lj2cf]

Edmar Jason Lorzano exactly people blame kd but he put up 30 ppg in that series. Westbrook was awful

[@melli2413]

Westbrook had 28 or 29 points in game 7

[@melli2413]

NIGGA WHAAT?? Westbrook was awful? KD only had a few more points than him

[@LM-lj2cf]

Mellanee Westbrook shot 39.5% from the field. KD didn't do great at 42% either but damn Westbrook was trash

[@parrogakaparadise9477]

Come back soon

[@tylerbernard4368]

Its actually funny cause if okc just stopped klay they probably could have went to finals

[@kasimk4]

Tyler Bernard no they couldn't.

[@jhayveonnewalker1916]

There was no stopping klay that’s the problem

[@Ars_Arcanum]

They would’ve won the championship you mean

[@backhandchop]

OKC was balling that year in the playoffs. They got rid of SA easily and had GSW on the brink.

[@ayooot5850]

Kxngace Maybe Kyrie Vs Russ woulda be great While Kd and Bron Cancell each other out. Cavs most likely would have won Cuz they had a better Supporting Cast

[@rustyramirez5450]

I think klay is a huge impact for the warriors if he was to go to a different team he would make a impact
