    Yes Klay. The critics are the ignorant ones for not expecting a more athletic post torn-ACL version of you. You caught us.

    Ok, that's happened exactly...never? So who is being more ignorant here?

    Here's a little news flash, Klay...there is NOTHING about an ACL tear that makes you more athletic.

    The only who could even make this claim might be Adrian Petersen, and he's uniquely athletically gifted to start with.

    Now, if Klay intends to follow a routine as stringent as AD did, in workouts, dieting, and sleep...more power to him. Even AD fell off pretty dramatically after that one season, though.

    he's going to be even quicker and more agile at undercutting harden on 3's

    How reaction is so ego driven, he always goes into this mode when he’s upset. He’s an ass. Imagine Harden with that attitude, media would be relentless.

    The way this guy shoots the ball is interstellar phenomenal. He is definitely fits in any team without disrupting any chemistry. Take a healthy Klay over Kawhi any day of the week.

    Well I wouldnt go that far lol...healthy Kawhi is arguably just as efficient while also being the best 1v1 defender in the league.

    I would argue Klay is a middleman's Kawhi with 3 pt range instead of mid range.

    Well Klay is a lesser Kawhi with better shooting and not a total superstar.

    But Klay would benefit playing with Kawhi.

    Klay would benefit from some humility and I’m not so sure he’s all that great on any other team. Taking Klay over Kawhi, no way.

    Moving the Warriors out of Oakland was a curse.
