Maybe he should have played better in the regular season if it meant so much to him.

Yeah you're right. He should have just taken 30 shots a game to the detriment of his team. That's solid advice right there.

My biggest issue with Klay is the eye roll when he heard Kemba made it.

Was he under a rock from October-April?

Kemba was amazing this season and it would have been a robbery if he didn't make it

Yeah that's not a good look. And honestly it's the Warriors PR's fault for this. Avoidable situation if they pulled him aside and let him know of the outcome instead of a beat reported telling him live during an interview. I'm sure Klay's not the only one who eye rolled today when they saw those lists come out. It's just that Klay's happened to be during his media session.

 

[CitySushi]

Kemba had a great year, but I was curious to see what he did against the Warriors this year. Klay guarded him in both games if I recall so I wanted to see if there might have been something more to that eye roll.

Game 1:
23 pts, 9-24 shooting, 6 ast, 3 reb, 5 TO's. Warriors win 121 - 110.

Game 2:
9 pts, 4-14 shooting, 3 ast, 1 reb, 1 TO. Warriors win 137 - 90.

Again, not saying Kemba didn't deserve it, he was fantastic this year. And again he SHOULD have made it ahead of Klay. But if I'm Klay, I remember these games in my head in the individual matchups when I'm assessing who I'm better than.

And just to be clear, I have no issues with Klay not making it. Everyone who made it above him absolutely deserved it. Also with the way Beal played all year too I have no problems with him being voted ahead of Klay too.

As a Warrior fan, I'm actually pretty happy because it means that the Warriors have further financial flexibility to keep their roster in tact for the foreseeable future. But ya'll calling him a cry-baby and such is just LOL.

The only reason I'd call Klay a cry-baby is just to try starting some shit. Get the weekend started on a fun note. I can understand why he's disappointed for not making an all NBA team though.

What's his pitch go get some other talent in LA, something like this?

Seriously come to LA. The organization isn't nearly as fucked up as the media makes it. Plus I can get you a sweet deal on a crib.

I think Klay knows like intelligent fans that he is a better player than Kemba. But the All NBA team is pure stats, mostly offense, and has little to do with how great players mold their games to fit what their teams need.

But it's a lot of money and any other NBA player in his shoes would be miffed too

Then you are a fool

Are you really calling me a fool?

The guy who overreacts to every Warrior loss all season long by saying things like:

"they are done" "they don't have chance" "THey will get swept by the Rockets, guaranteed" "they have no heart"

You really have the stones to call me a fool given your track record?

 

[bksballer89]

Just not true. How do you explain a guy known mainly for his defense making the all nba 3rd team then?

Klay wasn't a top 7 guard in the regular season. That's all it comes down to

 

[bksballer89]

And once again it isn't who you think is the better overall player.

It is simply who was the best player THIS season.

There is no point of all nba teams if they were just selecting the guys who been the better player throughout their career

That's fair

Well, only a fool would say the fans of a team don't matter. They are the only thing that matters. Without them there is no NBA and no multi-million dollar salaries

 

[Shanemansj13]

If he really values individual awards more than team awards, which I’m sure he doesnt but it comes off as that. Then he should leave the W’s and prove he can make an ALL-NBA team and be a #1. Until he doesnt, enjoy the ships and stop bitching about $5 more mil a year when you are going to make $35+M a year. I dont see other Beal bitching, he wouod gladly take the ships, I’m sure

dude is like the dub's version of that pasta fazul poster on the Knicks board.

I really hope the Knicks try to get and sign him instead of Kyrie.

 

[wildturkey]

He's our only hope. He has to be out there recruiting hard

Seriously come to LA. The organization isn't nearly as fucked up as the media makes it. Plus I can get you a sweet deal on a crib.

Prominent role in Space Jam 2 followed by a starring role in Space Jam 3 (straight to DVD release though)

 

[tlance]

Ok.

And only a fool fan would prioritize games in December and January over winning championships.

Any Warrior fan with a brain is going to enjoy the experience of that January ticket regardless of the outcome. The real enjoyment comes in May and June when they are throttling everybody.

You have 5 consecutive Finals trips, probably a 4th title in 5 years and a remarkable core with highly likeable (minus KD) and fun players.

Only a fool complains about anything in Oakland because it is nothing but positive.

do you think that if Charlotte switched out Kemba for Klay that they would be better?

 

[WiggyRuss]

lol.....its Butler's destiny to join the Lakers.
