How Klay Thompson Will REVIVE His Career In Dallas



How Klay Thompson Will REVIVE His Career In Dallas

so this past season with the Warriors clay averaged 18 points three rebounds two assists 77 games with shooting splits of 43 39 93 but was moved to the bench at points in the season for the first time since becoming a full-time starter in 2012 now he gets to get some new life with the MS he’ll be wearing number 31 which thought was interesting you say why four rings three 3+ one is when I seen it I was like oh 3+ one I don’t one is is the Warriors also as you remember did blow a 3-1 lead to the Cavs in 2016 I just pointing it out just pointed it out Reggie Miller also were number 31 so did UCLA great Ed sure he thinks he’s better than 31 uh 13 years revers I don’t know or is it or is it the 30 be wanted to in Dallas [ __ ] there’s no number four who has four that’s what I was I wanted to look up like if somebody had four cuz you can’t get what yeah you can’t get 11 Kyrie got that Kyrie not coming off with that hold on let me pull it up I do not see might G me a shout out cuz I was drafted number 31 so he might a special message for GI but looking at clay what what he’ll bring to this math Squad will Klay resurge his career with the math K will start with you Dallas native yeah like you said she still can’t leave him open if for what that’s the last thing to go right y that’s the last that’s the last thing to go being able to shoot and still can’t leave him open you got two guys that’s draws a lot of attention with the ball in the hand so you hey yeah I think he’s a good pick for him man he he felt a certain thing in his soul about himself he wanted a new change like I said it would energize him so you got to go with the guy man you got to go with it’s his career it’s his feeling it’s his his legacy um so shout out to him man for making a a huge decision for himself putting himself first and not the team not organization not not what they’ve built so shout out to him man um for taking a chance on himself and I think he GNA play well he didn’t play Bad last year trust me he can go down the crazy [ __ ] just hear me out he can go to Dallas right and have the exact same [ __ ] numbers and ain’t nobody going to have [ __ ] to say not a [ __ ] thing mhm cuz [ __ ] 18 on this team that’s the third Le so this is the crazy [ __ ] like people he washed he this he he can go down there and have the exact same numbers and be a hero and shoot the same percentages and everything and won’t and they make it to the [ __ ] Weston come third second round or west and nobody got [ __ ] to say going be a great pickup and great addition great addition y [ __ ] people in these reporters and sports man yeah like go say gonna be kicking theirself dog like you gonna be kicking yourself yeah and also I mean down year for clay last year just compar to what he’s done because it’s it’s one percentage point right 39 just say if it said 40 it’s 39% from that’s not like just imag if it was 40% it’s not that 43 39 93 shooting split it’s just one more per we still losing and whatever them games he was B that you [ __ ] was playing with his minutes how about y’all take that into a [ __ ] account you [ __ ] playing with his this man’s emotions and his [ __ ] yeah his psychic I’m saying so about you take that into [ __ ] consideration why he shot 39% from three if clay would have came back he would have been coming off the bench with a paj jimsky starting so I’m sure that didn’t necessarily rub him the right way yeah shout out Brandon who Brandon Pinsky cuz he goingon to average 18 I I I’m not familiar with the thinking of Steve CT and the mindset of the war franchise know and if he and if he averages what Klay averaged last year with the same shooting splits they GNA offer him a max if he averaged 18 on 39 and 40 something Max and 93 from the free throw Max come on man like these [ __ ] he going to be sitting there like yeah yeah I who clay thank you [ __ ] thank you for leaving this man got booed with this he’s get cheater parade we found a new clay B when you look at at clay in the decision to join the Mavs do you think he’ll be able to resurge his career yeah I mean you know I mean well he’s at the tell end of his career so I mean what other place could you think about going to to where you can have fun for one you know the owner’s cool um Dallas just went to the finals so you know they’re up they’re you know they’re going to be right back again cut a great it’s a great City so I mean to end your career and you know I know you’ve been in Golden state for a long time but you still back in again so to him you know like you said the 18 he’s averag in if he can do that over there they good but he’s playing with a Frise and owner that actually cares so he’s about to have fun these next couple years regardless and I think that’s what he needs mentally for him to be able to play just about to have fun yeah I mean he looked happier he did yeah he did not not did you see his last couple interviews uhuh uhuh I think it’s that little mix emotion yeah he’s still but no I could you can hear it in him that the the excitement of what’s what he expects himself to be right yeah which you gotta [ __ ] if you’re a competitor and you’ve went through any adversity or where somebody has organization that [ __ ] on you and you got you want some you have something to prove man’s a champion man he’s been relied on in the biggest moments on the big on the biggest stage um so yeah yeah it’s it’s that chip it’s that it’s that [ __ ] you Gene right it’s that it’s that man like and I’m pretty sure he hey he is going to display that thing and if I know don’t let him go back to he get that thing going Golden State cuz J kid gonna put the Sal on they GNA ride the hell out of him for four quarters and and you know Jay kid he yeah man is when he needed him when he needed when when when you needed clay he showed up like oh he was old and 10 the last y’all didn’t need him then that wasn’t no that wasn’t no game that like no when you needed big shots for him in certain games he delivered all the time all the time right I Remember by himself he destroyed Portland’s um the four games that they had them big leads if you go back clay it was Klay who they looking at that scoreboard and he was I’ll [ __ ] that scoreboard let’s just go out here and and let’s boom boom boom boom boom I was talking about I was talking to D about it like when y’all get up 18 just double clay cuz he’s the only one that has no conscience that’s just going to shoot the shot without scoreboard he’s not going to think about oh we’re about to be down 25 he’s just going to keep chucking so he’s the most dangerous person on the court when they’re down you know want balls you know was a wall balls to the wall you don’t want that with Clay so no cuz he yeah and he shoot the [ __ ] out of it man so what’s what that dude n who’s going to be replacing him p pajin is going to get his ass he going to get his ass handed to him when he got to play against Clay you think oh my God Mark oh you what is you is you serious is you serious and J kid’s there and Kyrie’s there you know Kyrie got that get back at the other team type [ __ ] so oh they going to be feeding that they going to be all kind of drop twos run round twos he going to take about 25 shots 30 game they going to put it little ass in the post they going they going to do all kind of [ __ ] they going what oh yeah yeah it’s going to be that getback game be ice on hey whoever everybody has that get back game huh everybody has that get back G that’s said Kyrie’s been there before so he knows what it feels like that yeah you need that get back go ahead we going run this off Kyrie probably take 10 shots that game Luca might sit the [ __ ] out go ahead go clay get a [ __ ] 65 in 7 minutes [Laughter] that’s how he be playing and how do y’all feel like Clay is going to work with that Mavs offense I got to imagine if I’m LCA or Kyrie and I got a guy like Klay now coming and he’s in that corner now aage nine you got one dude average nine 10 assists Luca’s going to average what’s the funny is Luca is goingon to probably get a triple double this year and that’s if I’m looking like oh now got rep Derek Derek Jones Jr and people was leaving him open y yeah well guess what you ain’t going to do that hey you can’t leave that lightskinn boy when I’m going tell you that right now not consistently you might miss the first might miss but guess what D cuz every time you shoot it you think the [ __ ] going in right ain’t too many people like even with Steph at time you like that’s a bad shot Steph like you don’t think it’s going in clay you like every time he shoot that [ __ ] I’m think that [ __ ] going in man cuz he always Square his feet always it don’t never change line he’s always in line man I think that [ __ ] going in every time he shoot it so damn it’s goingon to be exciting for Dallas man crazy Luka is gonna average a triple double yeah then you got them other boys because now he has to just all he has to do just under belt he just focuses on rebounding now PJ came in halfway he going to be better with them’ll be all right and any concern on the defensive side

  1. Damn, yea Klay said why, do your homework guys. Reggie Miller, Klay even refers to himself as the modern day Reggie Miller, but also Jet Terry wore 31 when the Mavs won the title in 2011.

  2. Why yall keep Klay didn’t play bad last szn?? Like wtf lol Klay shot himself off his regular minutes. Klay doesn’t know how to make a play or a good shot when he had to put the ball on the floor. He can’t defnd guards and he too small for wings now. he can’t rebound. Klay barely can hit wide open shots nowadays. I watch damn near every warriors game. He did NOT deliver in the clutch this year.

  3. As a Mavericks fan… watching Powell , Kleba , PJ , Tim Hardaway miss open threes is comical….

  4. We will definitely be able to score the ball easier. I still think about a healthy KP. We had no answer for that dude and we still don’t!

  5. 😂 klay was open every game in Golden State. He was passing out bricks. Forcing shots when he wasnt open. Bad defense. Love klay but he not going to be more open as if teams are going to forget who he is. 😂 now they just cant rotate off of him same as it was in Golden state.

  6. Rite wen we let go of mark for Steve it went ugly bc Kerr couldn’t tell dray nothing with Jackson everyone was good

  7. KMart saved this whole conversation on Klay/Mavs. it’s obvious he the only one that actually watched the Mavs play this year somewhat consistently lol Gil was just tryna say anything that casual fans would believe

    edit: this applies more to the full segment , not this clip. Gil said started talking fragrant lol

  8. The person who think its a good idea on defense they've played open should never have a basketball related job ever again

  9. I think he chose #31 as tribute to his former splash brother as to say "you may be #30 but I'm #31. I'm your Luigi to your Mario." Or he just really wants to one up Steph.

  10. The Problem is people just looking at the percentages and thinking he a good year. Klay was inconsistent asf all year which is why he got moved to the bench to begin with. Then the constant pouting even when he’s playing bad.He never elevated his game, so yes he can still shoot it but he doesn’t create for himself or others since he’s not a good passer either. Defensively he took a huge step back and that wasn’t brought up enough. Luka, ky and klay as starters means that defense gone be awful. Don’t let me even bring up that close out game against the kings smh. He gone get open looks in Dallas don’t get me wearing , maybe a fresh start is what he needs. But by no means did he have a “good” year. He was okay at best
