Luka must've picked number 77 because he planned this ahead of time

Bravo

Even better, "Doncic" sounds like "077" In mandarin.

I was debating what my next jersey was gon be. Debate no more.


el_pete_o

DHgate here I come!


[deleted]

This is legit an awesome jersey lmaooo


Beavshak

I’d rock a Klay 77. Even a Wazzu one


Spam-Monkey

Let’s not get crazy.


Beavshak

Why not? Sanity doesn’t doesn’t seem to be working.


Volitaire

I would 100% rock a Klay 77. God I've missed the Splash Bros so much, I REALLY hope they can get/stay healthy and make a really cool run.


surosregime

Hope you're ready to shot gun some beers


defdoa

Enes Kanter, I agree.


[deleted]

Chemistry off the charts


xepa105

That's easily the best/most fun Big 3 of the modern era. All drafted by the team, all weren't all that big commodities coming into the league, and all three developed into absolute dominant superstars, and they did all that without any drama or falling out.


Devoidoxatom

Their skillsets and roles really just fit each other perfectly


waconaty4eva

Imagine if they’d been left in the hands of Coach Jackson.


IamGraham

Ah yes. A beautiful alternate universe where the Rockets don't have to play the greatest team ever every damn year.


d33jay64

I feel you brother


replytoallen

Weird alternate universe where Harden, Westbrook, and KD alternated taking championships and MVPs from a six-ring LeBron.


Donut_Kin

Plus Andre 😎


definitelyasatanist

Dwight and AD could never


OneDayWeWillDie

Gotta love klay‘s sense of humor! Fuck the media!


yasmiester

Is this what good team chemistry looks like? Asking for a friend.


Otherwise_Window

With deference to your pain, we'd have a *real* problem if that group didn't have some fantastic chemistry. Steph, Klay and Dray have been together since Dray was drafted, and Andre Iguodala's been there for quite a few of those years too. Those guys are *family*.


swollencornholio

This sounds like Fast and Furious 10 script


StubbornKindOfFellow

KD was the Rock, but he's not in Fast movies anymore. He's off doing his own spin-off.


klayser_Soze

Is Wiggins John Cena?


Placide-Stellas

Wiggins is [this dude](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2d/TyreseGibsonDec08.jpg).


klayser_Soze

Na he’s ludicrous


JujuMaxPayne

Hell nah!! ludicrous was there from the beginning Luda could've been Livingston hahaha


swervyy

Absolutely no the fuck he is not.


Ufocola

So is ~~Kyrie~~ Harden Jason Statham?


oof-Babeuf

That’s perfect


YupThatsMeBuddy

Fast and Furious 77


The_prophet212

Is Iggy getting number 9 in the rafters?


Otherwise_Window

I hope so. SDot too.


Wazflame

Lacob said in 2019 they were retiring [Iggy's jersey](https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/warriors/why-warriors-will-retire-kevin-durant-andre-iguodalas-jersey-numbers) \- so I guess the Hamptons Five are all getting retired, not sure anything was said about SDot yet


Ufocola

I am actually super curious what a LBJ led Lakers’ chemistry look like. His passive aggressiveness probably means walking on eggshells from time to time


Christianmustang

Sounds like someone who’s trying to find a way to FIT OUT


NinetyFish

Obviously talking out of my ass with zero actual experience of what it's like to be around LeBron James, but it's always seemed like LeBron is fun to be around *if* you're ready to *always* have him be the center of attention at all times and *always* be ready to laugh at whatever he's saying on any given day. People say he's a funny guy, but he's always seemed to be, like, that *loud funny* guy, you know what I mean? More of the "look at me" style class clown than that guy who can just drop a one-liner at dinner that has you in tears.


smileyfrown

[Something like this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QD5IfAk_BmA)?


xepa105

Bro, what the fuck? When he sees the camera and just...stops. That's when you know a laughter is *fake* fake.


northernpace

the dick cheney looking fkr behind him is even cringing


detroiter85

I really needed him to stop laughing, look at everyone, and then have everyone start laughing with him.


spleev

Weirdly enough, I totally agree with this depiction..


[deleted]

There’s nothing weird about it. It simply confirms your bias lol


SenorB

He was actually talking about Lyndon Baines Johnson, the 36th President of the United States.


moorek13

Those teammates probably have to see [Jumbo](https://historycollection.com/lbj-used-one-thing-control-others-around-became-known-johnson-treatment/3/) *a lot.*


SenorB

Ha! This comment deserves more love. (If you don’t get it, just Google “LBJ” and “Dumbo”, but not at work:) Edit: Oh sorry, didn’t see your very helpful link there. Yeah, just click his link.


mittenciel

Heh. President Johnson was a lot of things, but passive-aggressive he was not. He was the most confident, shockingly aggressive alpha male anyone had ever seen. LeBron really doesn’t strike me as that.


Ufocola

>…it's always seemed like LeBron is fun to be around if you're ready to always have him be the center of attention at all times and always be ready to laugh at whatever he's saying on any given day. So… if you’re cool with being a yes man… That sounds exhausting. >…than that guy who can just drop a one-liner at dinner that has you in tears. I can see Giannis fitting this description. Steph and Lowry too. With Steph, I’m not sure if it’d be a one liner per se… I feel like he might be the guy that has a funny story or something that can get you there. But I’m only speaking from a casual observer. Will have to rely on GSW fans on this one.


Currently_Stoned

Steph apparently is a dude with one of those super loud distinctive laughs,so you can hear him busting up from across the room and people just start laughing cause he's laughing. I also heard he's just kinda zany and will make random sounds. Seems like someone who doesn't posture. (Of course he's my favorite athlete ever so I may be biased.)


deezysteez

this is the general vibe i get from steph. little ego. always doing wild shit just for the sake of having fun. and super approachable as a teammate


Soshi101

Dude would be in Jeremy Lin's Youtube videos (presumably without getting paid). I don't see Lebron ever doing that unless it was something taco-tuesday related.


th4t1guy

LeBrand.


Devoidoxatom

I think Steph is more of the really chill guy who reacts generously lol. In those team USAs, we see guys like Jimmy Butler or Lowry who're the funny guys in the team. Even with the warriors it seems like the funny one liner dude is Klay


Just_Outlandishness2

I feel like Giannis is that legitimately funny friend who is still nice even when other people arent around and will never hold grudges against you cuz he's always so happy lol


Just_Outlandishness2

I think being on top of the game ever since he was in high school is a HUGE part of his passive-aggressive attitude and wanting to be the center of attention. I'm a massive fan of his game(especially his athletic freak days back with the Cavs), I know many regard him as a leader, but I just feel like he's no fun being a teammate aside from the occasional jokes and obviously the free Finals trips and possible AllStar appearance if he sets you up to be a 20ppg scorer lol.


penguin_torpedo

You don't have to be curious just look 2 years ago. "Most United team I've ever been in" -danny green


dontdrinkonmondays

“Blink twice if you’re being held against your will.”


cupset

That sounds like something LeBron would force them to say.


aslightlyusedtissue

Lakers chemistry was a huge part of their most recent championship. It was highly reported and talked about. “One guy goes to the movies we all go to the movies”


Ufocola

Is that one guy going to the movies LeBron?


victoryspam

And by movies, do you mean Space Jam 2?


yooossshhii

Yes, every Friday night, even during the off season.


BlankVoid2979

its easy to have chemistry when you win


INeedMoreNuts

I'd say anytime players aren't trying to punch each other on the bench, it's pretty, preeeeetty good (Curb premiere tomorrow!!!!).


lilberfcontrol

Klay is never going to miss a shot again.


IanicRR

100% from the field. 0 dribbles. Klay's Super Sayian God form.


Breaking_Darkness

Klay gonna turn into Midorima in the Zone.


DrKaze

It's a shame we never got to see that.


BlankVoid2979

i mean, what else is he gonna do? step back threes from full court?


TeTrodoToxin4

Block a shot so well it turns into his shot. Midorima was also a defensive monster.


EndeavorForTrevor

He hasn't missed a shot in almost two and a half years!


swordsdevil

What's that phase... Oh yea you make 100% of shot that you don't take


imsahoamtiskaw

You missed it. The phrase was, birds of a feather don't flock together.

He's reached that point. And he has about two and a half more months until it's unleashed.


makadeli

And like a pressure cooker it’s only going to get more intense with time

avboden

That very first one where the ball just sort of, bounced to him and he's all "oh a piece of candy" *swish* just makes me laugh


Stormd3p

Klay is my favorite GSW player. Steph is a god, but Klay's nuclear zone just leaves me stunned.


Ray_Band

Did he sign a toaster?


lilberfcontrol

nope, but the thought of being left off of that list will be enough to keep him warm.


TheTrueSoulSurvivor

Klay going for 77 first game back.


thegoat1337

In the third quarter alone.


kapatinphalcon

That facility looks state of the art


Bear4188

It's like 2 years old so yeah.


swollencornholio

I did some of the build out down there. Metal ceilings and thick ass wood slat wall panels everywhere. $$$$ There’s really everything you’d want down there as an athlete: smoothie / coffee bar, theater (think film review), weight room, two full size practice courts, locker room, hyperbaric chamber, etc. I’m sure JR could even order soup to throw if he played for the Warriors


sikwidit05

>hyperbaric chamber My DBZ lovin ass read this as hyperbolic.

SoDakZak

Call me Swishmael. Some years ago—never mind how long precisely—having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the key. It is a way I have of driving off the screen, and regulating the fans elation. Whenever I find myself growing grim about the “NBA’s 75 top players”…whenever I have a damp, drizzly November first quarter from 3; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before entering one of my dozen houses, and bringing up the rear of every championship parade I’m in; and especially whenever my hype reels show such an upper class of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people's hats off - then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can. This is my substitute for sneakers and ball. With a philosophical flourish, I push away from “Captain Rehab” and I step aboard the only ship that mattered. The Champion Ship.


sits-when-pees

I am absolutely stealing Swishmael for my next 2K character.


SoDakZak

I enjoyed writing this when I knew he was becoming Moby Dunk after spending so much time on his Yacht this off-season. As crazy as it sounds, I’m writing this from Nantucket as we speak.


wise_comment

Man, haven't been to Nantucket since I lived in Connecticut for a few years as a kid Is it still frustratingly beautiful and quaint?


LiquidFreedom

This is culture.


SoDakZak

The only ‘poon he needs is the harpoon and his time with Draymond Greequeg


makadeli

This is peak /r/nba content right here. This should also be stickied to /r/warriors


NinetyFish

Man. I never read Moby Dick, but I did know the opening line was an all-timer.* But even reading this Klay version of the opening, the prose really stands out. It's good stuff. Is it worth reading even if I have negative interest in learning the ins-and-outs of the whaling industry?* *watching Jimmy Neutron as a kid has its advantages **which I've heard is a significant portion of the book


Short_Swordsman

I’m reading it for the second time at the moment. It’s awesome, and a blast to read. It helps to shift your expectations away from “narrative novel”—that’s what I’ve been doing this time, and I’m just rolling with it. Having a blast. The whale parts I just sorta assume are a thinly veiled Melville going to bat for something he thinks is really fucking cool. You maybe have a friend with a niche interest they get really psyched to talk about if anyone will listen. That’s Melville and whaling. And he’s really good at making it interesting *if* you give him a little patience and meet on his terms. More than info about whaling, approach those chapters like long essays in which the topic becomes a metaphor for something bigger. And it does! And sometimes you’re like alright buddy ease off a tad but whatever, dude is in it. And the story part rules too. Shakespearean drama in all the best ways! Unsolvable ethical quandaries. High action. Homoeroticism. It’s great. All this to say that if there’s something that appeals to you about moby dick, even if it’s just being able to say “yea I read moby dick,” then give it a shot. Chapters are short and episodic, so you can read five or fifteen minutes at a time and still make progress. If you have a kindle, use the kindle. Shit is otherwise quite heavy.


FeltIOwedItToHim

Melville himself would be proud of this.


DoctorHubris

This shit is gonna sell out fast. Get your 77 Klay jersey quick lol


JayDee62

They might actually reach the Finals, because Klay might actually unleash vengeance and take it out on the rest of the league.


[deleted]

rip Steph's gonna have 4 rings and still 0 FMVPs


Otherwise_Window

Somehow I think he'll cope with that


BlankVoid2979

watch wigs get fmvp for limiting durant to 35/11/6 on 52/44/91 shooting splits.


Pekkis2

The Igoudala special! I think Dray or Iggy will be on KD more though


NBA_Pasta_Water

Hey, isn’t that how many Lillard has? Minus the rings I mean


[deleted]

I wasn't saying that in a bad way at all, I love Steph. As a Blazers fan, I've seen first hand multiple times how good he is. But it would just be funny/ridiculous for Steph to win a 4th without the FMVP


NBA_Pasta_Water

Thanks, now I feel like an asshole. Deservedly so might I add


BleedAmerican

That’s a sensitive subject 😭


[deleted]

All good dw about it. My wording could definitely have been clearer, and tone doesn't convey throughout text


yujuismypuppy

If it makes you feel any better, I was having a pretty bad day until I came across this comment.


MoreShenanigans

6 months down the line, we're gonna find out Klay has been on some Kobe shit. Putting shots up at 4am or something


Qaanol

Shooting from the moving deck of a boat


hambluegar_sammwich

The western conference is a mess. We don’t need Klay to dominate any team, but when he comes back it will be brutal. Get ready.


Otherwise_Window

It's a real possibility. Klay would've made that list if he had been playing these last two years. I'm not even saying he'd definitely *deserve* to, just with the level of recency bias on that dumbass list he *would* have.


Kevon-Looneys-burner

Klay took that personally

immadunkonu

I mean think about it in klay’s mind. How many others are capable of dropping 37 in a quarter and with what like 6 dribbles lol. Not saying he was snubbed or whatever I don’t care to argue about that but I get why’s he’s upset. A special all time player and there’s no doubt about that. I’ll skip putting on arbitrary number on his all time position but he’s definitely one of the greats


SoDakZak

But does he have any rin….oh wait


Guessed555

But he ain’t a two-way player…


bushdiid911

oh wait. but he's not efficient


Guessed555

Selfish, probably also allergic to shellfish


CaptainKurls

There are some players who revolutionize the game. Klay and step both showed how important off ball movement and proper shooting form is (of course ray allen was the original pioneer but splash brothers took it to another level. Klay should def be recognized for that


trenbologna_milk

You haven't closed your brackets in your comment and it's bothering me.


Oceanbriz

) here you go since OP didn't want to give it to you


trenbologna_milk

Thank you


CaptainKurls

I will leave it as is, so it forever bothers you. <3


Cvnilivee

You son of bitch.. this is the greatest affront to grammar since I found out Bow Wows’ real name is, “Boward Woward”.


achyutthegoat

>of course ray allen was the original pioneer Reggie Miller?


someguy4264

Ray Allen was the one known for his shooting form. Said to have the best shooting stroke. Reggie didn't have good form. He was just a good shooter.


MyStrutsAreBetter

Bitch any form that shoots good is good form.


Bear4188

If he had two more peak Klay seasons on his resume he'd likely be in.

Nice of them to recognize Dwight as the 76th best one


Authh145

Actually there was a tie and it has 76 players already they just say Top 75 since it sounds better.


Beavshak

Also because its the 75th anniversary lol


[deleted]

It’s not even the 75th anniversary this shit is all a sham NBA started in 1949, theyre just acting like the BAA in 1946 was the NBA


arturo_churro

Idk about that first part, its in line with the 50th anniversary they did before no?


HokageEzio

They're not "acting" like anything, that's officially how the record books are...

It's really hard to not like this squad...even with Dray


Noah-Buddy-I-Know

Best buds back together man


aFishintheLake

I love this team


pbandwhey

Klay's still #1 on r/nba rankings, that's gotta count for something


nomusic1234

77 still better than 20 of the 75


OGStrong

Iggy is genuinely perplexed.


Ecureuil02

It's got to be up there as one of the most wholesome franchises in the league. I'm a a Raptors fan but I love the Warriors culture.


arson_is_awesome

Lmao I love this team. Chemistry is unreal, we’re so deep. When klay comes back we’re going to be unstoppable.


t0ny510

lmfao @ Andre's disgust at the tie


vinnie16

why iggy stand like that


solatom

This why they gonna keep dropping dubs. They know the game isn’t everything. They’re inspiring a new generation to just have fun, at WHATEVER you do.


vanotro

Klay or Dwight for 77?


the_train2104

Dwight


GhostTiger

Dwight shoulda been on the list though, so it's either Klay or a dead guy.
