Klay is one of most underrated defenders in recent memory. He had to take the star point guards do curry could hide on D a bit. Russ in the WCF, then Kyrie in the finals. But just watch Klay’s defense any of the times he’s guarding a Kyrie bucket and tell me with a straight face it isn’t perfect defense. 0:19 1:24 -you literally can’t play defense better 3:45 -HOW IS HE MATCHING KYRIE’S QUICKNESS LIKE THIS. Thats F**king perfect defense!!!!! And that wasn’t a foul either. 4:09 - perfect again Unfortunately for Klay, Kyrie was just one of the few dudes who are better on offense than you could possibly be on defense. Still impressive defense, idc if the shots went in.
