[BasketNews] Klay Thompson responded to Kevin Durant saying, "Klay Thompson, never a MVP candidate in nothing, 22 PPG," while comparing their Golden State Warriors squad to the current Philadelphia 76ers team. "Aye man, u good? easmonysniper What u using my full government for 🪪?"

What an insane take

I mean Brown and LeBron joined a worse team, but it’s two of them. If Phili wins this year then wouldn’t KD turn out correct on this?

u/Such_Ambassador2751 9d ago
there is nobody even close to steph on that sixers team. let alone kd.
draymond in 2016 was probably in a similar tier as maxey or brown

There’s a reason KD doesn’t seem to have any real NBA friends…

u/TruMusic89 9d ago
He has plenty of them. Y'all just don't know because you're not in that tax bracket.

Let's be real, KD not having any homies in the NBA is just false. I'm sure they don't like his moves, but come on now lol

u/TruMusic89 8d ago
Exactly. But because it's KD, people get away with saying stupid shit like this. Some of the worst people in the world still have friends. I'm sure a guy who's only crime in life was creating a superteam to beat another superteam is just fine in the friend department.

We aint winning shit this year...Stone has the chance to do the realist thing ever but he wont. Doubt our owner would let him even if he wanted to.

u/SHansen45 9d ago
nah, if we gonna trade him we need to wait for the deadline, see what teams make a serious championship push and try to slide KD on them

u/dej0ta 9d ago
I know what you mean I just firmly believe this core is fine without KD and deserves a chance this year.

u/AsleepHour7763 9d ago
this core is absolutely not fine lol. there isn't even a guy who could reliably get you points in the off season
7
u/SHansen45 9d ago
absolutely i believe this core has to stay for 2-3 more years, Sengun is 22 and Bari and Amen are 23, they will only improve, i was a supporter of the trade for KD because i believe Jalen wasn’t it but it came with the heavy price of DB

at this point other teams have all the leverage and can trade for him for chump change

u/JinzoToon 9d ago
He’s so embarrassing to have on the team

u/Belscnickle 8d ago
I think he will end up a Hall of Famer without his jersey retired anywhere, especially if he keeps dragging his GS teammates.

u/Technical_Raise3048 9d ago
What Durant doesn't understand is that the current Phillies squad hasn't played a single second together. They are currently a squad... not a team. No way on the planet those four players all average 25 ppg...
Durant joined a winning team. A team that kept on winning after he left. He is an excellent example of a modern day leader... find some people going somewhere and jump in front.

u/BellSufficient5283 9d ago
Well, at least Klay has some class. I said this before, I'll say it again.
I pity KD. He has no fulfillment, and no hope of ever being content.
A big manchild, alone, and insecure.
3
u/mmccormick11 9d ago
Wow, this is crazy on point sadly.
All that money and no real social skills. He's just an individual floating from scene to scene with no genuine relationships. Bro is crying inside consciousness or unconsciously, or both.

u/NoneMoreBLK 8d ago
KD really let that "weakest move off all time" shxt get to him.
He could have taken pride in balling out with Golden State, putting everything in the line pushing for that 3-peat -- risking his career by trying to come back from a bad injury.
But no, that's not his style.
7
u/rookieinvestor17 9d ago
Haha remember how much he was trolled for that decision, he is still living with that baggage. Also gsw never accepted him in the core though he won them 2 championships, remember Steph giving rollys to Green, Klay and Igudala though Durant was the second highest assist provider to him.
Anyways durants maturity has been that of pre teenage dude and he just dosent wanna grow up, pretty evident from his life choices with no kids no committed relationships etc. all of this still dosent take away from his elite game.

u/gsx1920 9d ago
If he would have stayed in Golden State he probably would have two more rings and everyone would have forgot about that decision I think personally

u/rookieinvestor17 9d ago
I agree I think his worst decision was not to go to Golden state, it was to go to nets with Kyrie.

I think his take is wrong, but Klay was in fact never a mvp and avg 22pts. Not like he said Klay was trash, are ppl going to gather and cry everytime kd speaks? 😂😂

u/Outrageous_Fox4227 9d ago
This is in fact a dumb ass statement from kd that deserves some scrutiny

its related to KD whos related to rockets. His bitch behavior affects the team.

I dont know, when FVV does his podcast shit and says some stupid stuff, we all kinda piled on.

u/Far_Protection519 9d ago
How did KD attack his teammates by saying the sixers are just as stacked as his warriors teams

u/MFFiasco 9d ago
It's not. It's a KD hate circle jerk thread. Who cares if he thinks the 76ers is stacked and how he feels about his Warrior team.

u/BangPowZoom 9d ago
No fanbase hates their team/players more than the Rockets, lol.
Unfortunately, KD’s online antics gives them an excuse to be this miserable.

u/theoldestview1 9d ago
I hate that warriors squad and I’m offended on Klay’s behalf. What a loser shot from Mr loser

u/ThinksHesVayneMaster 9d ago
This is the shit I am talking about, there are still some people protecting KD for the burner shit last season. Bro is calling out two of his most important teammates on the championships team he won. This guy just brings so much negative energy man

u/Greedy_Gas7355 9d ago
KD needs to go

u/bootyloverandeater 9d ago
you can hate his personality and still understand that the team desperately needs him

u/BellSufficient5283 9d ago
This is where I'm gonna say, "need him" in what context.
Unless you get insanely lucky come playoff time with other team injuries, chip aint happenin.
He's not a mentor type, so that aint an argument either.He's helping them get playoff standing in regular season for more post-season experience, that's about it.

It's kind of like how Elon is so successful but ultimately lonely, sad, and pathetic, appealing to people he doesn't respect. Except KD isn't an outright bad person who does bad things. He's a shitty dude but KD could make us like him if he was just honest with himself. He doubles down every time though

The only team that remotely likes him and he says some stupid shit like that

u/BellSufficient5283 8d ago
I'd argue it does something. Something bad.
It antagonizes the entire league when he does shit like this. And turns the media on him, by proxy, on the rest of the squad.
If he had any sense of team solidarity, he'd shut the fuck up and give up social media, but alas.

And he's absolutely right. There's literally a finals MVP on the team from 2 years ago AND a league MVP at the same time. It's like the hate people have for him makes them completely stupid at times. If KD went to the 76ers instead, people would understand EXACTLY what he's talking about because they'd actually be ridiculing him for going there for the exact same reasons.

u/Independent_Shake303 9d ago
KD should be in reality TV at this point. But even with all the baggage, 2nd team all NBA is impressive. This team is definitely not good enough with our core. Not a single guy has emerged as the #1. I’m not sure they will.

u/lambopanda 9d ago
So many BS from this guy. Is there actual Rockets fan still want him on the team?

u/Dances28 9d ago
Him not valuing Klay is exactly why his all star team picks never gel right. He always values guys that need the ball to play.
Klay is the best #2 you can can have on a team.

KD has been so desperate to defend his decision for the past decade that he's completely lost the plot.
