He doesn't need to worry about benching. Steve Kerr would disown his own son rather than treat Klay based on what he's providing now rather than 4 years ago. Some of the most pathetic, emotional double standards I've ever seen from a coach.

Sounds like a dude who cares a lot what people say lmao
You almost wonder why he didn't put up 4 fingers?
That's his go-to.
He was definitely inferring something but that’s quite the leap by Klay and he definitely bit like the reporter wanted him to, not a good look
well to be honest it seems like you kinda do care, Klay
The softest mf on the team.
He clearly cares what people say
god, this is the perfect manifestation of “I’m not mad, I’m actually laughing”. it’s also a horror i will take to my grave. retire, klay
For a guy who’s whole persona is the whole “laid-back chill dude” vibe, any time he gets criticized and the mask drops he sure comes across awfully thin-skinned and insecure
Im sorry but Klay might be the one of the most sensitive guys in the league. He isnt wrong about what he said but its the way he goes about it. Always quick to bring up the past and his history like that means anything about his play now.
I'm not even a fan here, but the question is way more awkward than klay's answer imo.
I get that r/nba loves hating the warriors, but two things of note for context:
-
this reporter is Tim Kawakami, who is a known bay area troll. This dude gets laughed out of the press room by half the 49ers players, and the Warriors have just sort of tolerated his presence for years. Literally all he does is bait for Twitter rage clicks.
-
The "bench Klay" narrative has been pushed by nephews all over during the last few weeks, and very few of those people actually watch the games. This was a very thinly veiled attempt to dig for a headline, and it worked. Grats, I guess?
I love it. That’s real shit.
Even he knows he washed up now!
He sounds hurt lol he is doing the opposite if whatever tf he is saying
Aye 'P, they say I should come off the bench!
Surprised Klank didn't count the 4 rings here.
King
Sounds like he got his feelings hurt in a MAN'S league?
People who don't care what people say don't say "I don't care what people say"
He definitely cares what people say. Bro was in his feelings stupid lol.
He’s In his own head. He’s been starting out slow for the past 3 years so it’s fine but acting like this isn’t gonna make it better. Just keep ya head down and make smart plays
Reporter: People are saying that you’re pretty bad. Ever thought of not being bad or are you dumb too?
Klay: Huh like I care about being bad, even if I was you wouldn’t know it.
If someone twice says "I don't care what people say", they actually mean "I m worried about the things people say".
Klay was holding back for dear life not flexing and pointing 4 fingers
He needs therapy. I think it would help him a lot.
Lol he cares
Hey, solid response.
Klay was entering his prime when those injuries hit. Damn shame. Probably would have ended up number 2 on career 3’s list if he’d had more luck. To me he should go to the bench, but he needs to choose to do it. Kerr wont do it. It would extend his career in years. Hit two 3’s a game over other teams backups and hit big shots in big moments like Robert Horry for the next 4 years. Be a Warrior for life. He’s not the player he used to be, but other teams still defend him the same way. He could be deadly in that role.
An absolute staple of the NBA All-Feelings team.
klay has that rich kid confidence. clearly doesnt know its over for him
Copium overdose detected.
Hey man, it's fine, you can admit you care, nothing wrong with that.
I imagined him holding up 4 fingers while answering when I read the title.
lmfao this is so cringe. klank is way too insecure
"I don't care what people say" - man clearly upset at what people said
Guess he got his feelings hurt
Bro got his feelings hurt
Steph is absolutely fighting for his life trying to make these guys seem likeable
Big mad
He's mad, for sure, but this is Tim Kawakami. He's a fucking ASSHOLE. He is a MAJOR reason KD got fed up with the Bay Area media, the biggest reason. I'm shocked that the team still put up with Tim.
The laugh and then immediately after deadpan “next question” had me dying laughing. Full Kawhi moment
