Klay Thompson Should HATE The Media

They give it to him the warriors won’t do a thing after that
He act like he ain't fucking over athletes
So Klay has a legit reason but not Lebron or all the other athletes yall do dirty in the media daily ? 🤔 ..yes like Lebron
he wasn't black enough to get the votes
That was heartbreaking on many levels
But SAS had no issue trying to fuck up Kyrie Irving’s money 👌🏾
Tbose Kobes look like moon shoes 😂😂
It's not about his past, it's about this season isn't? You're snubbing somebody else if he gets that spot.
No man owes you
Who would you have dropped and was he more deserving? If yes i get if no, negotiate better contracts blame your agent and yourself for 1 award to cost me 30M is a bad contract, standard or not 😂
Klay Thompson is not respected at all sadly
Lebron can't even do that in his 15 years 😂✔️
This is one of the all time great robberies it’ll go down as one of the worse!!!!! Hands down 30 million is absolutely unacceptable especially when he was the clear cut winner.
He shouldn't talked about him trying to get Kyrie banned from the league telling people "He doesn't deserve a new contract…I wouldn't pay him, etc"
Stephen knew the fix was in, these are the things everyone knows he be bs'ing on.
Once Durant joined the Warriors the media hated on them for three years. Curry and Durant weren't even in the top 5 in MVP voting those years!
They begging for Stephen A. to come on and they were so chill when he showed up 😂
Awww shut up klay is more top 24 than top 15
Talking like he never made 30mil after that 😂😂 that’s probably peanuts to him now
Rachel Nichols has entered the chat
Rest of his life is crazy he already set for life 😂 and the next life
Klay Thompson lmao, they criticize the real great, then highlight a shooter with no bag at all. If it wasnt for the warriors system, he is a average player who can shoot. Cant create his own shot at all.
That’s the cost of being a star on a team of stars.
He should've offered to pay for their votes.
NBA voters shouldn’t be basing votes on “helping a brother out”.
All off what folks think and feel and all that mess
Stephen A shouldn’t even be allowed to say the word “brother” when referring to a person of color
Klay has FOUR rings sir not 3
Freaking hypocrite SAS
The media should have no influence in how much they get paid.
Gs owners paid people not to vote for him 😂😂 ill pay $10 mill out knowing itll save me 20
He can go to the Bahamas and easily make more than 30 mil. Tourism, Tourism, Tourism!!!
realest shit stephen a ever said
They shouldn't have that power anyway
So nobody gone say Klay was Steph's scapegoat huh?? Nobody gone accuse the "Stepn media" of sabatoging Klay rep to protect Steph legacy huh?? Boy i tell you NBA fans never keep the same energy always wanna compare players to a certain somebody yet dont wanna criticize em the same😂 lets you know how desperate and delusional they are
Why not?
Who was you gone leave out Einstein, dudes need to remove that clause from contracts when only 15 people can get it.
Don’t put those incentives in your contract. Why would I care as a media member whether or not millionaires get more or less millions. If I didn’t think you were good enough I didn’t think you were good enough. The money is just going to go to the next guy
GILBERT ARENAS, ONE OF THE BEST EPISODE 🌏 HAVING STEPHEN A. SMITH ON THE SHOW AS A GUEST👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👌🏽👋🏾👌🏽🫡🫡🫡👍🏽🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌏🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸💐💐💐🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸
They shouldn’t be able to vote at all on the players, these Jewish owners treat them like slaves, and the players allow it.
He got 4 chips Stephen A not 3!
SA do the same shit every show from put down the weed to calling people busts!! Tf!!
Klay has 4 chips not 3
what year was he referring where klay was not selected as all nba?
I'm sure it was the owners that snubbed him and used the "media" as the scapegoat
4 chips
I really can’t stand SAS. He wants to know who voted against who but whenever he says something about a player (Jaylen Brown) it’s always a source and he won’t tell you who it is. Gil and the fella’s let him off easy. If not Klay then someone else would have gotten screwed over.
The man s got millions and millions of dollars… he dont need that
What Kmart n them🤣🤣🤣
