It wasn’t intended for Thompson, it was for Ty Jerome who played in Phoenix with Mikal and they are very close friends.

Mikal Bridges has very, very long arms.

Eh, Klay is talking a bunch of junk and playing like junk. That opens you up to guys coming back at you. If he doesn't like it, he should stop playing like Duncan Robinson.

I wouldn't call Bridges a "shooter". If the Warriors had Bridges instead of Klay, they would have been lacking a second option for their first title.

If pre-injury Klay was on this Suns team in place of Bridges, the Suns wouldn't have lost to the Bucks and choked against the Mavs.

Klay sucks right now, but to put Bridges and prime Klay on the same sentence is laughable.

Klay peaked as a 22/3/2 dude with good but not great defence and people act like he was an MVP candidate :lol:

Most overrated player of the last 20 years.

Klay has been showboating for years and it's always annoyed me, good to see someone do it back to him

Might have something to do with the amount of national exposure they get from all the winning they do. Just sayin…

Been praying on Klay's downfall. Happy it's here and I'm witnessing it

It's the personalities. Steph is at least charismatic. Klay rubs many the wrong way with his arrogance and Draymond is Draymond. Loud and obnoxious with a dollop of dirty

It does happen in every game, but some of them are really interesting in certain context.

We could potentially create a sticky thread with just player taunting examples. That might be an idea to stop a thread every time, and still have people discuss what they find interesting about a specific taunt/gesture.

Does Simmons rub you the right way?

He rose 4 fingers saying 4 rings.

And Bridges raising 3 fingers towards Klay - for 3 points?

How many rings does Bridges have if he was in Klay’s place instead for those title runs? Yeah at least 3-4 as well or more. Both are shooters that can’t really create their own shot albeit Klay was a much better shooter (career 41% 3pt shooter vs 38%) but Bridges is also the much better defender.

This has to be one of the only places where people unironically post stuff like this.

Kinda weak to rejoice in a player now sucking after two back to back catastrophic injuries. Klay should just retire when his contract is up...dude is cooked.
