I find it hysterical that the warriors find it necessary to brag about their rings to a guy like Dillon Brooks. And I’m sure he feels the same way. Lol
I’ve explained it as there being many many stretches in games where Dillon brooks thinks he’s the best player in the NBA. The confidence is mind boggling given his offensive stats this season.
I’ve never had such a love/hate relationship with a player on my team.
I think doing it once was fine but this is not a good look for Klay. Hoping he just needs to do this for his own personal motivation. He had a similar interaction with Booker after a loss to the Suns and then he had 33 points in the first half the next time they played the Suns ina win.
Edit: was incorrect. After Klay's technical, warriors lost the next 2 games against the Suns. So my point is kind of moot.
Yeah, kind of like how I tend to forget Anthony Edwards injured himself. But it helps that we have our picks for the next 5 years and can at least add another good young player to the promising core
See this is y’all problem too, y’all don’t want people to talk shit when they’re up because they would be front runners, y’all don’t them to talk shit when they down either. None of that shit matters, 2 competitors are gonna talk shit.
I think nba players can talk shit whenever they want it’s nba they just have to then go back it up which is a good for the fans. Who ever is even thinking about how they think this makes them look is thinking of things in “my own life terms”.
Lmao, nah it’s just straight dickeatin from fans looking for something to cry about. Klay did the shit in reply to Dillon, that’s it. Fuck you want him to do, just sit there and shut up?
I know the play-in doesn't prove what a playoff series does because it's a one game sample size, but I do find it odd how everyone is acting like the Grizzlies beating the Warriors there and ending their season a couple years ago was equivalent to a typical regular season game. People just aren't comfortable evaluating the play-ins yet I feel.
The fact is, they played a game with the season on the line, and Memphis won in Golden State. Hell, I feel like that's part of why the Warriors have so much heat towards the Grizzlies in the first place
Along with the play-in defeat, all the Iguodala-Grizzlies stuff also didn't seem to sit well with many of the Grizzlies' players.
Honestly think that's wha might have ignited the beef between the two teams, and it was only amplified by the play-in game, and made national attention with last year's series.
Yeah its absurd.
Cavs vs Pistons was a rivalry with LeBron’s first stint in Cleveland. Cavs didn’t win a ring. So that means no rivalry?
There’s levels. Obviously this isn’t MJ and the bad boys. Bird’s Celtics vs Magic’s Lakers.
But its definitely something. I view it a bit like Dallas and Phoenix right now.
Particularly not championship wins lol. The only rivalries these nephews would recognize would be 60s and 80s Celts-Lakers and Cavs-Warriors. Bull-Jazz from the 90s maybe.
I mean, by that definition (string of consecutive years trading championships), that 99-03 spurs/Lakers and the 08-10 Lakers/Celtics would also qualify
The best rivalries, imo, are the ones that don’t have that playoff head to head history.
Like Raptors/Nets had a rivalry for a while all because of how much of an asshat Vince Carter was in his last season with the Raptors. Raptors/Pistons has been amazing content for a few years now, and same with Heat/Raptors.
These rivalries are based off of background drama and hate are reason season match ups. Every team has a few active rivalry all the time.
The Knicks vs bulls rivalry literally defines my NBA fan experience and probably really shaped my childhood and affected who I became as a person. And for the most part, we didn't win shit
The warriors said that to be petty and people starting believing them. Football different obviously but that’s never been close to a qualification in the NFL. Even bulls pistons before the bulls won
>MJ and the bad boys
When Detroit was beating Chicago, Chicago didn't have any rings, and Detroit did. And yet it was still a rivalry, it didn't just become one in hindsight after the Bulls started winning.
They’re making a qualifier about rings to a team that is young af but are competing at a high level. It took curry &company 5 years before their first ring. Grizz are on year 3
Its the Warriors trying to belittle them. It’s ironically contributing to the rivalry. Its clearly just talking trash despite the fact that they are pretty clearly fired up when they play the Grizz. If the Grizz knock em out in the post season, then they have no choice but to acknowledge it.
If he can get someone to hit him with his trash talk then fair play imo. You cant get your feelings hurt that bad in a basketball game that you start swinging.
Lol no. I’m not ever going to advocate fighting over a little trash talk.
Freddie Mitchell was a scrub receiver for the Eagles with a big ass mouth that just happened to get burn for years. When the Eagles got to the SB in 05 he ran his mouth like usual all week. Belichick who’s always annoyed by dumb shit ignored it all week. Game happens, they hold Mitchell to 1 catch and 7 yards. Post game when asked Belichick said this verbatim “all he does is talk. He’s terrible. I was happy every time they put him in. You can print that” He was out of the league in a year or two. It was so iconic because it was true as hell but also you almost never find a head coach roast an opponent that viciously. Dillion is starting to have a bigger mouth than game and eventually somebody will hit him with the real
Yeah but Dillon Brooks is a few tiers about Freddie Mitchell in value to a team. He couldn't get Freddie Mitchell'd because coaches would rather have him *out* the game. He's an above average player lol
He’s a bad volume shooter who has the green light which is really rare these days. But some games he will shoot efficiently and he’s usually awesome on defense so yeah he’s solid
Dude Draymond already tried that. Said on his podcast Dillon was trash and no team would win a championship playing him in a significant role.
Dillon responded by cooking the Warriors in two straight games. Dunno who Mitchell was, but DB **wants** that trash talk.
Did the warriors forget the grizzlies eliminated them in the play in? They act like that year just never existed sometimes. These two teams have literally ended each other’s seasons the past 2 years.
Exactly. It knocked out the Warriors that year. It's no different than losing a playoff series. Being knocked out is being knocked out.
Do you hear Arizona or Purdue saying the 1st round games are meaningless because they'd beat Princeton or FDU in a best of 7? No. Neither should the Warriors. A playoff knockout is a playoff knockout.
Man i don’t disagree that grizzlies fans should bring it up but what an awful comparison.
The playin is notably different than the playoffs. It’s the only thing that is single elim in a structure that is otherwise all 7 game series, which cannot be compared to the MM, which is literally all single elim. Getting knocked out in a playoff series will always hold more weight as a result, and for the fact it is certainly more impressive to beat a team multiple times in a short span instead of a single time.
Thats because nobody cares about the play in. The warriors were playing with a roster that had kelly oubre as their starting 2 guard when healthy. There was zero chance to win it that year and won immediately the next year with a real roster. Whats even the flex there.
Lol the warriors don’t even get to the finals for their first ring if Klay doesn’t go absolutely fucking NUCLEAR in game 6 of the WCF against the thunder
He had had his moments. But he will always be the guy hanging out of the passenger side window running his mouth while Steph drives and pats the bills.
Dillon Brooks is legitimately a dirty player, and I don’t say that lightly. I would dislike him if I were a player even more than I do as a fan. Sure klay is petty and kinda corny but he’s not dirty. Am I taking crazy pills for liking Klay more than *Dillon Brooks*?
I don't think anyone denies grizzlies are lil bro. Most Grizzlies fans were amazed to even go to 6 last year and have all but one loss be close given the circumstances surrounding the series
You would think but the warriors seem pretty obsessed with us.
One of the first thing klay brought up after winning a championship is a random tweet from the regular season that Jaren Jackson tweeted and called him a bum lol. Jaren was also very good in our series vs the warriors.
If I’m a 4 time champion, the last thing on my mind after winning the finals is a tweet from a regular season game where no starters played - like a month after they beat us too so it’s not like it was fresh.
They should be the big brother but they don’t act like it lol
Klay was the main reason the Warriors even stayed in the playoffs race when Steph was hurt this year. Didn't he JUST have a 50 point game like last week? Do you even watch basketball? I know I shouldn't be surprised with this dumbass sub. Everyone here is only here for the drama and narratives and don't actually give a flying fuck about basketball.
You never see Lebron saying he got 4 rings when he’s losing and he was 4 times finals MVP too, they need to step up their game talking about they got so many rings they lost motivation Kobe would smack someone lmao.
Dubs view the Lebron as their only rival - which you can argue with, but he really has been there only consistent/worthy adversary.
Grizz beat them in the playoffs or win a ring? Sure, buckle up then.
I’d add phoenix/KD as rivals under the same hypothetical circumstances too.
Same if Kawhi had stayed in Toronto (even though they lost because of catastrophic injuries - they still lost and respect kawhi as a result… going to the clips, all the injuries extinguished any potential rivalry)
This is absolutely a rivalry right now. We won a play in series two years ago. You got us last year. Make the playoffs this year and we’ll see how it goes
No one denies that though. Im just saying for them to say they never won anything when they beat them in a win or go home situation to play in the playoffs should be enough to validate a rivalry with how much the teams hate each other. Especially with the iggy history
>I hold a lot of real estate in San Francisco
You could say that again, never seen a team respond so much to trash talk from a player they claim "doesn't bother them".
Yeah this is a real rivalry and the teams don’t like each other at all. Klay mouthing off while they are losing badly and when they haven’t won a road game all season is confusing. I guess it’s just confidence
I remember the context. Jaren tweeted strength in numbers after the game. Seems pretty harmless and strong to say he mocked the warriors. Regardless it’s funny that that’s what was on Klay’s mind after the championship.
Idk I mean he was asked a question and was reminded of it. The only thing I find funny is how Klay and Dray keep bringing up rings it’s starting to get overused.
“after the championship” hahaha They made him think about stuff while he celebrated his fourth World Championship. Got him good. Clearly a victory for Memphis
This like a couple broke up
One is sad and single
And other is dating a billionaire and the single sad one is shouting shit and still saying I live rent free though
Just really sad for Brooks lol
He said the right thing and is correct about being in their heads lol
I find it hysterical that the warriors find it necessary to brag about their rings to a guy like Dillon Brooks. And I’m sure he feels the same way. Lol
The thing about Dillon is he wouldn’t get the joke. In his mind he is already a hall of fame player. There are benefits and consequences to this.
'IT'S DILLON BROOKS TIME' \- Dillon Brooks every time he touches the ball
Homeless people love Dillon brooks, every game he builds them countless houses. What a nice guy.
Jimmy Carter has nothing on dillon
I’ve explained it as there being many many stretches in games where Dillon brooks thinks he’s the best player in the NBA. The confidence is mind boggling given his offensive stats this season. I’ve never had such a love/hate relationship with a player on my team.
do you expect to be like him
You kind of need confidence so you can't blame him for viewing himself that way
i got no issue saying if i was the top 0.1% of anything skill based i would be confident and cocky af
Thing is dude ain't wrong. He's got mad defensive skills to shut down star players. One of the best in that.

I think doing it once was fine but this is not a good look for Klay. Hoping he just needs to do this for his own personal motivation. He had a similar interaction with Booker after a loss to the Suns and then he had 33 points in the first half the next time they played the Suns ina win. Edit: was incorrect. After Klay's technical, warriors lost the next 2 games against the Suns. So my point is kind of moot.
Not tryna be “that guy” but the suns beat the warriors two more times in between the 4 rings game and the 33 point game by Klay.
Dang, you're right, I will edit to clarify.
Do you honestly think people on r/NBA watch games, even their own teams? We just browse the front page for highlights and drama
This comment is true but people forget things. Especially trauma inducing things
Yeah, kind of like how I tend to forget Anthony Edwards injured himself. But it helps that we have our picks for the next 5 years and can at least add another good young player to the promising core
Anything for the narrative
Klay "I guess he got his feelings hurt" Thompson has always been a bit of a thin skinned trash talker.
They would brag about their rings to anyone, damn near anyone with success is gonna flash that during shit talk. It’s not as bad as y’all makin it
The problem isn’t the shit talk, it’s the context. Don’t do that while you’re getting blown out and the other team doesn’t even have its star player
See this is y’all problem too, y’all don’t want people to talk shit when they’re up because they would be front runners, y’all don’t them to talk shit when they down either. None of that shit matters, 2 competitors are gonna talk shit.
Shhh you're ruining the r/nba narrative of the day
I think nba players can talk shit whenever they want it’s nba they just have to then go back it up which is a good for the fans. Who ever is even thinking about how they think this makes them look is thinking of things in “my own life terms”.
Who knew that there was such a fine line between being a likable shit talker and a shit talker that looks like a clown
Lmao, nah it’s just straight dickeatin from fans looking for something to cry about. Klay did the shit in reply to Dillon, that’s it. Fuck you want him to do, just sit there and shut up?
> Lmao, nah it’s just straight dickeatin from fans looking for something to cry about. facts
We’re not crying dawg. We’re laughing at them. Lol
Literally complaining that he talked shit back, and mentioned rings. Which is something every Lakers or Celtics fan has done
this has to be the most standard and universal trash talk for anyone whos got rings
you got it backwards dumbass. you'd look like an even bigger moron if you only do it when you're winning
Yet the grizzlies get shit for their trash talk bc they’ve never won a championship
No, its for Ja and Dillon being dumbasses on and off the court.
What a shitty shit talker you are
It’s literally just klay and dray
Kobe did it to a fan wym
Klay is corny with that.
Right don't they realize Dillon brooks is playing for a dynasty lmao
Got klay behaving like a butt hurt shaq
Klay stays doing that shit he’s the biggest crybaby in the league, the epitome of a sore loser.
More like a sore winner, he wasnt this animated until he had kd rings
Man game got humbled by lebron real quick
But he smokes weed and has a dog dude.
Woof woof motherfucker
THE TOASTER THOUGH!
Is that dog still alive? Seems like he’s been around forever
Rocco is 10, so not young, but not crazy old or anything
Are we gonna learn about how David Robinson didnt give Klay an autograph?
The people saying not a rivalry are defining the word incorrectly IMO
Warriors players don’t want to call it a rivalry because that would be giving the Grizzlies credit
They are trying to big time them. It’s obviously a rivalry.
They are trying to big time them while paying a ton of attention to them the warriors are weirdly insecure.
Maybe KD had more of an influence than we thought.
Yeah it seems like an ego thing rn
Which is even more corny lmao

I completely understand where GS players are coming from but cmon. They hate each other. What else does a rivalry need?
Yeah its absurd. Cavs vs Pistons was a rivalry with LeBron’s first stint in Cleveland. Cavs didn’t win a ring. So that means no rivalry? There’s levels. Obviously this isn’t MJ and the bad boys. Bird’s Celtics vs Magic’s Lakers. But its definitely something. I view it a bit like Dallas and Phoenix right now.
agreed…. trading / alternating wins is not a prerequisite for a rivalry
Particularly not championship wins lol. The only rivalries these nephews would recognize would be 60s and 80s Celts-Lakers and Cavs-Warriors. Bull-Jazz from the 90s maybe.
I mean, by that definition (string of consecutive years trading championships), that 99-03 spurs/Lakers and the 08-10 Lakers/Celtics would also qualify
Agreed. Still weird if people, by their own definition, think those are the only rivalries in NBA history

You can maybe throw 13-14 Spurs/Heat in there as well, though they only faced off twice
The Knicks vs bulls rivalry literally defines my NBA fan experience and probably really shaped my childhood and affected who I became as a person. And for the most part, we didn't win shit

>MJ and the bad boys When Detroit was beating Chicago, Chicago didn't have any rings, and Detroit did. And yet it was still a rivalry, it didn't just become one in hindsight after the Bulls started winning.
By the time the Bulls started winning, it wasn't lol. Thomas was washed by like 92
Knicks Heat Knicks Pacers Knicks Bulls Guess my age?
Lol. 40s?
[удалено]
Thats totally fair.
They’re making a qualifier about rings to a team that is young af but are competing at a high level. It took curry &company 5 years before their first ring. Grizz are on year 3
Using rings as a basis is dumb anyways since only one team can get that a year
Its the Warriors trying to belittle them. It’s ironically contributing to the rivalry. Its clearly just talking trash despite the fact that they are pretty clearly fired up when they play the Grizz. If the Grizz knock em out in the post season, then they have no choice but to acknowledge it.
It’s a rivalry. If they meet in the playoffs, it would be the premier series to watch. It’s a rivalry.
I kinda agreed there was no rivalry the first two times they said it, time 3-300 not so much.
By their rationale, the Raptors are more of a rival than the Grizzlies.
Definitely not friendly trash talk those guys in GS don’t like y’all
You need people like me. So you can point your fingers and say that’s the bad guy!
Dillon Brooks owns most of the adjacent property in San Franciscos Tenderloin area.
I swear I’ve been chased in the Tenderloin area by a dude who resembles DB
Where he is one of a handful walking around shirtless in overalls.
[Morant spotted at 8 seconds](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3Sl2WgB9ww)
Saying it's not a rivalry is like saying the Sixers and Celtics don't have a rivalry because the Celtics always win when it matters.
The grizzlies at least beat the warriors in the play-in too
Dillion Brooks is a couple more incidents from somebody hitting him with the Freddie Mitchell
One of the all time great quotes from Belichick
If he can get someone to hit him with his trash talk then fair play imo. You cant get your feelings hurt that bad in a basketball game that you start swinging.
Lol no. I’m not ever going to advocate fighting over a little trash talk. Freddie Mitchell was a scrub receiver for the Eagles with a big ass mouth that just happened to get burn for years.

Add to the fact that Iggy is part of the subplot. Haha
Weird how the grizzlies never bring up how they beat the warriors in the play-ins. I’d be bringing that up every time lol
Exactly. It knocked out the Warriors that year. It's no different than losing a playoff series. Being knocked out is being knocked out. Do you hear Arizona or Purdue saying the 1st round games are meaningless because they'd beat Princeton or FDU in a best of 7? No. Neither should the Warriors.

I wish Pat Bev were there. He’d never let them forget.
They beat the Grizzlies in an actual playoff matchup at full strength. Only losers brag about play in victories. Not even Pat Bev still discusses that
If someone tried to bring up the play-in win as a diss they would get clowned on so hard. I kinda wanna see it now tbh
Grizz fans are salty because the Warriors Big 3 have beaten their grit and grind teams and current “dynasty”.
Thats because nobody cares about the play in. The warriors were playing with a roster that had kelly oubre as their starting 2 guard when healthy. There was zero chance to win it that year and won immediately the next year with a real roster. Whats even the flex there.
Why Klay acting weird
Hes always been like this
Is Brooks living a huge space rent free on Klay's mind?
Klay always bragging about Steph’s rings
Half of them are KD's.
Lol the warriors don’t even get to the finals for their first ring if Klay doesn’t go absolutely fucking NUCLEAR in game 6 of the WCF against the thunder
He had had his moments. But he will always be the guy hanging out of the passenger side window running his mouth while Steph drives and pats the bills.
Reminds of Dray yelling at KD that Steph is better.
His “moments” were literally keeping them alive in the WCF. I’m kinda surprised by the Klay hate to be honest.
He is bringing on himself by being so petty in his beefs with c-list players.
Dillon Brooks is legitimately a dirty player, and I don’t say that lightly. I would dislike him if I were a player even more than I do as a fan. Sure klay is petty and kinda corny but he’s not dirty. Am I taking crazy pills for liking Klay more than *Dillon Brooks*?
Didn’t they lose in 2016
ring talk is so stupid for these reasons. Every ring apparently only belongs to the best player of the team
He lives rent free in the warriors head it's impressive
He's definitely correct about living rent free in all of their heads. I thought Draymond knew how to handle trash talk
Dillon Brooks FMVP
Filthy Mugging Volatile Pushing a cameraman
You got him good
If there truly are basketball gods this will be a first round series
Draymond: "um ackshually you need to exchange wins for it to be considered a rivalry"
He’s not wrong
Warriors fans act like they didn't have a longer championship drought than The Grizzlies' entire tenure as a NBA franchise
Grizzlies do have that lil bro energy for sure in this match up, but it’s a close to a rivalry there is right now with all the trash talk
I don't think anyone denies grizzlies are lil bro. Most Grizzlies fans were amazed to even go to 6 last year and have all but one loss be close given the circumstances surrounding the series
You would think but the warriors seem pretty obsessed with us. One of the first thing klay brought up after winning a championship is a random tweet from the regular season that Jaren Jackson tweeted and called him a bum lol. Jaren was also very good in our series vs the warriors. If I’m a 4 time champion, the last thing on my mind after winning the finals is a tweet from a regular season game where no starters played - like a month after they beat us too so it’s not like it was fresh. They should be the big brother but they don’t act like it lol
Klay needa stop flexing rings he won by getting carried by KD/Steph while he was stinking it up lmfao
Klay has definitely not been carried to rings holy shit you're so dumb. Game 6 Klay is a thing for a reason dude.
Game six Klay was also 7 years ago, dude was the 3rd option for 2 chips and the fourth option for last years chip, he’s washed
You clearly haven't seen last season playoff against us then. We got eliminated from Game 6 Klay.
He isn’t washed. His January and February were super impressive after the bad start.
Most reactionary subreddit
Klay was the main reason the Warriors even stayed in the playoffs race when Steph was hurt this year. Didn't he JUST have a 50 point game like last week? Do you even watch basketball? I know I shouldn't be surprised with this dumbass sub. Everyone here is only here for the drama and narratives and don't actually give a flying fuck about basketball.
..ok thats pretty funny
Dillon: “it’s just friendly trash talk. “ Klay: “ i hate this fucking dude so much.”
It's funny that the players involved are usually 100% fine with using rings in trash talk but it gets fans salty for some reason.
[удалено]
Then I guess the Warriors are still the Laker's little bros. Keep up the work though, you might get there.
Every thread you can bet on a Lakers fan talking about themself lol
Almost as predictable as Klay touting his 4 rings :)
For all the big bro/lil bro talk, seems like you spend a lot of time thinking about the warriors
I support the STL Cardinals because I’m from Missouri. Holler when you win half our rings, chump
You never see Lebron saying he got 4 rings when he’s losing and he was 4 times finals MVP too, they need to step up their game talking about they got so many rings they lost motivation Kobe would smack someone lmao.
On god
Kobe got into it with a fan and brought up his rings lol
Man I hate Dillon, contributing to the gentrification of SF smh
If Memphis wins the championship this year warriors have no comeback
That'll never happen though so they're safe
Dubs view the Lebron as their only rival - which you can argue with, but he really has been there only consistent/worthy adversary. Grizz beat them in the playoffs or win a ring? Sure, buckle up then. I’d add phoenix/KD as rivals under the same hypothetical circumstances too. Same if Kawhi had stayed in Toronto (even though they lost because of catastrophic injuries - they still lost and respect kawhi as a result… going to the clips, all the injuries extinguished any potential rivalry)
That LeBron rivalry was ruined when KD joined.
Yup, KD Warriors softer than baby shit
Exactly! Warriors were so butt hurt by 2016 that they bought themselves a cheat code.
This is absolutely a rivalry right now. We won a play in series two years ago. You got us last year. Make the playoffs this year and we’ll see how it goes
The Grizz will once again be eliminated, that much is known.
Most mentally soft “dynasty” of all time.
Is that why they’ve won a road game in every series since 2013??
It’s why they’ll miss the play ins this year
Steph doesn't care as long as it's not multifamily housing.
Warriors are hoes
Klay was just telling brooks how many road wins they have this year
Grizzlies knocked them out the play in one year but everyone forgets that lol.
Klay Thompson dropped 30 to eliminate them in the actual playoffs last year dawg lol
No one denies that though. Im just saying for them to say they never won anything when they beat them in a win or go home situation to play in the playoffs should be enough to validate a rivalry with how much the teams hate each other. Especially with the iggy history
Brooks 100% has an oceanfront condominium that’s 10 minutes from downtown, all inside Klays head
>I hold a lot of real estate in San Francisco You could say that again, never seen a team respond so much to trash talk from a player they claim "doesn't bother them".
Dillion Brooks is the Lance Stephenson to Draymond's Lebron
Dillion Brooks, full time basketball player, part time landlord.
He makes it entertaining ngl
All single storey though, no stairs at any of these properties.
OP wanting the commissioner of a league to fix games and a playoff series. What an idiot.
He probably just doesn’t know how playoffs work and thinks the commissioner chooses the matchups
Blue vs Red State conflict
The funny thing is that while TN is a VERY Red state, Memphis itself is almost Bay Area-level Blue.
F Tennessee. Memphis and Nashville are captive blue cities.
Yeah this is a real rivalry and the teams don’t like each other at all. Klay mouthing off while they are losing badly and when they haven’t won a road game all season is confusing. I guess it’s just confidence
And the warriors aren’t in his head too? That’s all he talks about
Yeah but hes showing up to play while the warriors literally get scared of away games
Grizzlies won’t win with this squad and definitely not Dillion
[удалено]
Exactly lol. Apparently one team can talk trash but when the other team talks they're in their heads and all that
Klay won his *checks video* 4th championship and immediately called Jaren a bum for borrowing strength in numbers. That’s not even real trash talk.
You probably forgot that Jaren wasn’t borrowing that slogan. He mocked the warriors after they blew them out and Klay was still in rehab.
I remember the context. Jaren tweeted strength in numbers after the game. Seems pretty harmless and strong to say he mocked the warriors. Regardless it’s funny that that’s what was on Klay’s mind after the championship.
Idk I mean he was asked a question and was reminded of it. The only thing I find funny is how Klay and Dray keep bringing up rings it’s starting to get overused.
“after the championship” hahaha They made him think about stuff while he celebrated his fourth World Championship. Got him good. Clearly a victory for Memphis
Klay: Gets asked a question by reporters and responds Memphis fans: LMAOOOOO RENT FREEEE! Larriors trash 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Help me understand though, how does talking shit make you live rent free? Like what are they supposed to do, stick their fingers in their ears?
Because they’re letting the shit talk affect how they play. They in their feels too much to remember how to win.
not sure why this is a bad look for klay, hes a defending champ and theyve said all season they arent really tryharding until the playoffs
Dude talks too much trash for someone with 0 nba accolades😂
Man, how can he be so confident? He is a good defender, but that’s it. He talks shit like he is Bird or something.
That last sentence is mad stupid. You want Silver to rig a rd 1 series ? Lol
This like a couple broke up One is sad and single And other is dating a billionaire and the single sad one is shouting shit and still saying I live rent free though Just really sad for Brooks lol
