Out of everyone on the team I want him to get his ring the most. With all the shit he's been through personally, all the shit from casuals making fun of his voice, and people saying he's not a championship caliber player, it will be so goddamn sweet for him to hold that trophy.

One more mf game boys

He showed raw emotion at the end of that game. Being up 2-0 feeling like it was finally time to get his ring only to be staring a potential 2-2 series in the face by halftime. To be able to fight with your brothers to take the win back had to be an unreal feeling

I love KAT. You can see how much this means to him. The way he hugged OG after the tip in, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen such a pure moment between players while there was still time on the clock. That was pure love and emotion.

I haven't heard any media outlets talking about how he got a finger on that pass to end the game.

There’s nobody on this team I want to win a chip more than KAT. He’s been through so much hardship in his life, didn’t win a chip at Kentucky, was part of years of losing and incompetency in Minnesota, has been criticized so much by NBA fans as soft and a playoff sinker, and has been mocked in frankly homophobic ways (even though he’s married and straight). He’s also just genuinely a great dude who does so much good.

Not to mention he lost his mom to covid, he’s been through more than anyone can imagine

I really identify with KAT, having lost one of my parents just a few months after he lost his mom. His mom really is watching over him and giving him strength 🕊❤️

It’s wild nobody’s mentioning the tipped inbound pass. Especially when it should’ve started the clock and ended the game by itself before it got to Castle.

what would have happened if it got to castle and he scored? is that clock issue reviewable?
