A large ego is a valuable tool to get to the NBA and thrive, but it’s also what tanks these guys once they begin to see the sun slowly set on their careers.
The typical “you can do what we do so you talk” is the beginning of the end. And he knows it.
I also think he's always been a douchebag. But, we ignored it because he was great.
He's also pretty meme-worthy/entertaining at times
/r/JustKlayThings is a solid subreddit
Oh no, he talked trash a few times and bragged about having rings (which every other NBA player who has experienced success does).
Judgement: douchebag.
As a Suns fan who has watched this sub hate on a really solid dude in Booker for not wanting to be double teamed once and getting mad at a dinosaur I am not surprised by the amount of hate this extremely mild incident has garnered. Internet is ruining lives.
You'll never actually know because you don't rub shoulders with professional athletes. You just watch short clips of an athlete then jump on social media to react to it and now you think you know a person that you've never interacted with a day in your life...
The Internet is really screwing with people's perspectives
On the bright side this makes it easy for Warriors to not renew the contract or atleast offer such a small contract that Klay rejects or accepts it and then there's space sign other big players.
He better get better at talking, cause soon it’s all he’s gunna have left
Yup. It’s a tale as old as time.
It honestly makes guy like Vince Carter or Paul Pierce that much more refreshing. Those guys successfully became role players as old ass men instead of trying to still be stars when the time had passed.
It’s funny how LeBron has the opposite problem. Dude wants to be the second/third option but AD’s just made of glass.
Gotta remember too some of these guys like Klay are nepo babies. They get easier pipeline to the league from family connections and have a life of mostly getting their ways.
Klay and Curry have had pretty different off court lives despite their similar upbringings.
They talk because they can do what NBA players do? Sounds fine to me. Next question!
