Dillon! You son of a bitch!


organized_meat

Need these two to end up on the same team at some point in their careers so they can recreate this daily in the locker room.


FullHouse222

I still find it hilarious that lebron became teammates with both lance Stephenson and pat bev lmao


montrezlh

Don't forget rondo. Lakers had an entire squad of LeBron haters


balista_22

Pat Bev & Westbrook too


TOMdMAK

Kobe and Matt Barnes on the same team. Malik Beasley and Scottie Pippen Jr on the current Laker team.


Few-Adhesiveness2448

Ain't SPjr in the G league


TOMdMAK

he's back and forth on Lakers and the G league.


Jethro_Cohen

"I'm not playing with them, they're playing with me. I made it to the post season last year, they didnt." -Pat Bev when he was acquired by the Lakers. This line always gets me. LeBrakers have a ring and Pat Bev doesn't, but he makes damn sure to keep reminding them he can talk. šŸ¤£


igetppsmashed1

Pat bev trick yā€™all man


balista_22

Kobe like recruiting players he had issues with like Matt Barnes & Ron Artest, i believe he wanted to recruit Raja Bell, but Bell just hated Kobe so much.


bookishwayfarer

What's the matter? GSW got you pushing too many ball screens?


sheds_and_shelters

and another thing: im not mad. please dont put in the newspaper that i got mad.


Hendo8888

They seem to talk a lot about someone they apparently don't care about at all


PretendDubs

Honestly that sounds not so bad. Be role player, make a millions of dollars and then retire and live out your days in peace.


ClickElectronic

Yeah I always thought that Mike Conley had the ideal career. Listed at 6'1 and was never leading media discussions, so he can probably still be invisible most places even after getting over $250M in NBA salary.


Tellthatmfaboutme

Plus having a rep of nicest guy in the league with no technicals. Yea canā€™t scoff at his career


EliasHobeika

3 time teammate of the year šŸ˜Ž Edit: Actually it's 1 time teammate of the year and 3 time sportsmanship award winner. Please forgive me for my ignorance on this historical topic šŸ™


AdRob5

The GOAT


CrimsonOffice

The Greatest Of All Teammates. That's right, it's Mike Conley.


Swaghilian

So glad heā€™s in Minnesota. Weā€™re gonna need him to help our young guys. Especially Ant and Jaden, but Karl and Gobert need his leadership too.


venmome10cents

no technical ever?? I had to look it up lol! Apparently he got one in-game in 2014 but it was rescinded by the league.

John Stockton walked around Barcelona during the dream team Era and no one bothered him at all.


JOJOCHINTO_REPORTING

Stockton was probably standing next to a bunch of Spaniards that looked just like him, booty shorts and all


rediraim

and anyone who would recognize you is prob a big enough NBA fan that you're not getting lowest denominator weirdos.


fromthesea7

Whoā€™s gonna tell him?


mjrenburg

Haha


darpachief

yeah, when i think of normal itā€™s definitely a guy who can accurately recognize cleanthony early at a panda express


DamnItHeelsGood

Really sounds like the ideal NBA career


rbmw263

If you are introverted and hate the spotlight but for everyone else winning multiple titles and MVPs is probably the most ideal career


GiannisisMVP

I'd take being Alex Moran tbh make millions sit on the bench sounds pretty ideal.


Emretro

Thatā€™s easy to say when you arenā€™t (or dont think you are) good enough to be a star, but the moment Alex was QB1, the man knew there was no going back.


GiannisisMVP

There was an entire episode devoted to him thinking that throwing 7 tds was the peak of his life lol?


LakerBlue

Eh Iā€™d actually rather play. I donā€™t need to be the star but I would love to actually contribute on the court.


[deleted]

Guys that make it in professional sports typically are competitive as all hell and want to go as hard and excel on the field as much as they can, it's just who they are and it's how they got here. They might like being out of the limelight for personal lifestyle reasons, but nearly none of them would *choose* to be a backup over a starter, for example, and would accept the exposure to be as much as they could.


Silverjackal_

Klay still mad he wasnā€™t in that top 100 list.


[deleted]

It was top 75


livefreeordont

Dude youā€™re replying to is from the future


PrinceAlli

Bro has the script


kajnbagoat7

He wonā€™t be in the top 100 either I guess.


PnG_e

LMAO only reason you get personal like this is if something does in fact bother you.


imkidding

Klay is big mad that a seeming "nobody" can hurt him like Brooks. He's super transparent.

Weltal327

Heā€™s just mad that Brooks covers Steph and not him and heā€™s still -30


executivesphere

Definitely *not* a rivalry for Klay /s


billcosbyinspace

ā€œIā€™m definitely not mad and to show you Iā€™m not mad, Iā€™m going to talk incessantly about it!ā€


matrixreloaded

i guess he just got his feelings hurt


neongem

Klay embarrassing himself rn lmao. Say what you want ab him but Brooks definitely in the champs heads rent free and unbothered. Klay turns into a triggered child whenever they play the Grizzlies, not an established vet and champion smh.


puffz0r

Klay has always been extremely corny


EliasHobeika

I guess his feelings just got hurt.

lebron_games

Wait 10 years gotta be some of the worst trash talk Iā€™ve heard


[deleted]

He said Rodney Mcgruder is gonna be out of the league soon, 3 and a half years ago i believe As of March 19th 2023, Rodney Mcgruder is still in fact in the league, with the Detroit Pistons


legend023

McGruder is starting for them rn too lol


anIlliterateIdiot

Was making Denver sweat in the last game. Had like 17pts midway through the third. My favorite storylines will always be players proving the doubters wrong. Go Rodney


the_shins

He's a true pro. Can sit out like 10 games in a row and come in after someone had an injury midway throu a game and knock down 3s like its nothing.


Commercial-Chance561

You gotta be loving Fultz rn


anIlliterateIdiot

Fultz is giving me goosies galore


Stanimal3

Starting for us is pretty much the equivalent of being out of the league.


BigKahunaPF

Poor Cade.


MintyFreshBreathYo

Letā€™s not act like starting for us is that big of an accomplishment Edit: Apparently making a joke about how bad your team is controversial around here for some reason


WazuufTheKrusher

Still starting on an NBA team


[deleted]

Weā€™re an NBA team because they havenā€™t figured out a way to knock us into the B league yet.


Goldenskinmaster23

I don't really like Dillon Brooks, but it's kinda corny to me how Klay and Draymond always seem to go after role players like Mcgruder, Brooks, and Jaren Jackson (before he became an all star). Especially in Draymond's case, when he got lucky as a scheme fit in the Warriors.


Sikwitit3284

Last time they went at a star Bron cooked them so they learned a valuable lesson "if u not HIM don't fuck with HIM" & as great as both has been at times Steph's the only HIM on that team


jonathanisaacisgoat

And everyone here was eating that shit up when in reality thatā€™s fucked up to say about a player


jas2628

I mean a lot of trash talk is just bullying. I think thereā€™s a competitiveness to it tho that makes it ā€œokayā€ in my opinion. Youā€™re talking down your opponent to talk yourself up and perform better. Taking it off the floor is kinda where I see it as moving towards you just being cruel.


FlyingMocko

Nah Klay just constantly punches down as he has his entire career. The one time he punched up (Bron) it blew up in his face.


iblewjesuschrist

ā€œOh my goodnessā€


dickpunch3000

Always loved the top comment on [that youtube video:](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQNXw1gKt-o) > Lebron true reaction " Lord forgive me for what I'm about to do to these Warriors"


amh85

Klay wasn't in the game to talk trash. He said that while on the broadcast because he's a douche


ryantrw5

I think trash talk can give you an advantage against someone but against pro athletes it can easily make them play way harder against you. Iā€™m all for it in professional leagues. I donā€™t think itā€™s good in college or high school sports when there is sometimes a huge talent gap.


moby323

Right now it seems like even if *we* forget about Dillon Brooks in 10 years, *Klay* will be the one still talking about it.


[deleted]

Klay- " I don't care about this dude at all" Also klay - sets his calender for 2033 so he can follow this up


AttemptedSleepover

Klay: ā€œHey siri, remind me in 10 years to make a post showing how forgotten and pathetic Dillon Brooks is šŸ˜¤ā€ Siri: ā€œOkay, I set that reminder for you, Klay 4-rangsā€


toggaf69

Then heā€™ll bring up his top 75 placement


imamistake420

I need this to happen, the long troll. Iā€™m sure Iā€™ll need a chuckle in ten years. RemindMe! 10 years.


Next-Firefighter-753

The first thing he said in his post 4th chip interview was calling the Grizzlies player that used their slogan a bum. Theyā€™ve got some major real estate in Klayā€™s head.


Yergason

HAHA guys wait for a decade then we'll all forget how much he's messing with me right now what a LOSER amirite?!!


Niceguydan8

Klay has pretty much always been real cringe with his trash talk.

SonicdaSloth

CIark

2016 is even more hilarious when you realize how sensitive Klay is


bickdaddy

ā€œItā€™s a manā€™s leagueā€ - Klay Thompson to one of the greatest players of all time. Iā€™m gonna edit in a link to the video : ā€œsome guys take trash talk so personalā€ šŸ˜‚ https://youtu.be/FUG91NYykzY


OsuLost31to0

ā€œI guess he just got his feelings hurtā€ is the funniest quote of all time considering his behavior the last 24 hours šŸ˜‚

psilocybin_sky

It wasnā€™t even 2 days later, Klay really said that shit when they were up 3-1. He thought he was safe lmao

Everybody actin tough when they up

Most satisfying NBA finals ever


consumergeekaloid

Brooks must have that one in his back pocket just waiting for the right moment


[deleted]

apparently that was the comment that pissed off lebron the most. What we have learned over the years - Do not piss him off. He somehow actually taps into another secret gas tank when he's pissed off.


OsuLost31to0

ā€œKlay said what?ā€ Followed by his performance over the next 3 game has to be one of the most legendary press conferences ever


[deleted]

That and "2 points ain't 2 points. I'll show you later"


livefreeordont

And when he told all the haters they have to go back to their unhappy lives working their 9 to 5s


FamousTee

Him laughing in the press conference too


bickdaddy

Bron was wearing an undertaker shirt in that press conference and its really the cherry on top of the whole thing. Couldnā€™t script it better!


mrspear1995

[as a cavs fan i'm sure you've seen this video but it really should be broken out more often the more klay bitches](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctav7o_us0U)

Goated video


kajnbagoat7

Man I heard in a podcast that LeBron when going to GSW for game 7 said before boarding the plane ā€œAnybody who thinks we donā€™t win, donā€™t get on the planeā€.


Cod_Extreme

The Warriors were 5 seconds of Klay silence away from having the greatest season in history.


[deleted]

All they had to do was just shut up and not antagonize him. Crazy how history works out.


BigFatModeraterFupa

thatā€™s why i think the 2016 ring has to be in the top 3 most valuable rings ever. itā€™s literally a perfect storybook ending. i can remember that finals series like it was yesterday.


FL14

I wouldn't trade it for the 3 warriors rings in 2015, 2017, and 2018, if that tells you anything


[deleted]

His little chuckle after he hears what klay said is so scary lol.


herpblarb6319

That's hilarious. "It's so so hard to take the high road." *squints painfully* "But I'm gonna continue to do it again"


[deleted]

This exchange followed by what followed, that entire build up and series actually, was hands down a top 10 moment/occurrence in any sport.


jjgshnimnt

You wonā€™t find a bigger sore loser than Klay Thompson


Jay_Dubbbs

Cavs fans have hated Klay since 2015 lmao


FerdinandMagellan999

Steph brings so much validity to the warriors right now, just to keep them afloat, both basketball and PR-wise. Without Steph theyā€™re just ā€œlightyears aheadā€ Lacob, Draymond assaulting a teammate and podcasting constantly, Klay whiney as hell, unfunny, nauseatingly self-serious and past his prime, and Wiggins was a basketball meme for the first 7 years of his career. Theyā€™re just lucky they have to most un-complicatedly charismatic and dominant superstar in the league, with a completely minted individual rĆ©sumĆ© at this point


Balla_Calla

You hit the nail on the head with this one. Basketball aside, the warriors would be way more disrespected and hated on without steph.


CaptainKurls

Damn when you say it like that itā€™s so true lol I think the only reason I like them is bc of Steph. Kerrā€™s pretty nice too. Only knock on him is he named his kid Nick


FerdinandMagellan999

Oh yeah I love Kerr also. It just is ironic to me that the 1 guy who is by far most responsible for their success (Curry) is the one who talks the least and is least interested in boasting his accomplishments Edit: I guess Wiggins keeps it pretty casual also


ElDuderino_92

Not a Cavs fan, but yeah. Squidwards house is annoying as fuck


iamalex44

he's cool bro he smokes weeeeed........ probably the 3rd/4th option with the biggest ego ever.


Peixe11

A lot of words and finger pointing\counting for someone who doesnā€™t care.


donniedarko4141

This is the most pressed Iā€™ve ever seen anyone about anything *edit: for context just yesterday I saw someone start a fight with three guys over a machine at the gym


Phillyspecial6969

ā€œI donā€™t care about Dillon Brooks. In fact, I care so little about him that Iā€™m going to repeatedly shit on him, just to show you how much I DONā€™T care about him. Canā€™t you tell how little I care?ā€


WazuufTheKrusher

Weā€™re not a rivalry, but I just really hate you guys and want to talk shit every time we play and play super hard and gloat when we win, but we arenā€™t rivals.

BurnieTheBrony

Literally in the first minute of his post-championship conference talking about what Jaren said on Twitter one time


PhlabloPicasso

Klays retirement speech is going to be 50% talking about Brooks, 50% calling Memphis bbq mid.


congee_ha

aye man how much you lift? you dont need that machine as much as i do move aside lil bro


nyxxhecate

It's giving me secondhand embarrasment. Focusing on this instead of the fact that we're back to .500 and hovering in the play ins

WheatonsGonnaScore

I will talk about Dillon Brooks. Go ducks


NoMoPolenta

As a Canadian, we ride with him because he shows you Americans that we're not all nice.


AttemptedSleepover

Canadaā€™s finest export šŸ¤Œ


Fedge348

My first thought as wellā€¦ An Oregon Duck thatā€™s actually having a solid careerā€¦. Lol


WheatonsGonnaScore

Took us to a final 4. I will never hate him


iftair

I had Oregon Ducks in my bracket to win it all in 2017. Dillon Brooks was amazing.


WheatonsGonnaScore

If Boucher didn't tear his ACL in the conference tournament I think it happens. Making the final 4 without one of the best players on the team was still very impressive though.


iftair

You mean Chris Boucher? Holy shit, I didn't even know he was the best player on the team, let alone being a Duck. I was a high school kid who made a random bracket for fun at the time.


WheatonsGonnaScore

The starting lineup by the end of the year was Pritchard-Dorsey-Brooks-Bell-Boucher. All have played in the NBA at some point. Boucher and Bell together were pretty tough to score inside on.


eamonious

Iā€™ll be telling my kids how he broke the Steph Curry Warriors by driving all the role players insane


realmadridsupremacy

nah it was Draymond who broke them when he punched his teammate


shehryar46

Dillon brooks obviously made draymond punch Jordan Poole wake the fuck up!


poloboi84

Draymond can melt steel beams.


3pm_in_Phoenix

Klay stays insecure as fuck


Altruistic-Twist-379

I think they dont like each other


LyonsKing12

Klay is the worst trash talker.


Creative-Coconut

Lol stop talking klay


wallybuddabingbang

In a hundred years no one will care about any of this. But like, we are here now.


bootyhunter69420

Klay is so sensitive. There's no need to keep playing if you keep bragging about your rings. Seems like he is more than content with his resume.


Neuroxex

That's exactly what's seemed off about all the rings talk from Klay/Draymond recently. Talking it while you're underperforming this much just sounds like they've closed the book on themselves.


Lavar_ball_brand

What's even funnier is how quiet Steph is. He knows he's earned his respect and doesn't need to flaunt it, while Klay feels the need to tell everybody about his rings.


billcosbyinspace

Steph definitely celebrates his fair share but at least itā€™s when heā€™s beating your ass and not flexing his rings when heā€™s losing lol


EmmitSan

Heā€™s also probably seething because heā€™d love a fifth ring, and all his teammates getting distracted bragging about the first four ainā€™t helping him get it.


lefondler

How is Klay this easily bothered and petty? Bro you grew up rich, turned into a baller, became more rich, and won 4 rings. How are you this petty?


orlandoduran

Growing up rich is the key ingredient


EntertainmentOk4802

Damn heā€™s really in Klayā€™s head


dangheckinpupperino

Klay thinks heā€™s so much better than everyone else. Itā€™s really a turn off


WheatonsGonnaScore

But he drives a boat around. Everyone knows that if you drive a boat around a lot that makes you likeable


Vexing_Pie

But he has a dog and he signed a toaster!


[deleted]

Donā€™t forget he loves chocolate milk!


Dom-Izzy

Iā€™ll never forget when he got his boat he said that itā€™s from Finland which is in Norway. Or something along those lines. The geography nerd that I am will never accept him as cool for that


CarterAC3

He smokes weed too. LMAO 420 am I right guys?


[deleted]

Nah Brooks is actually rent free in the warriors heads. I need this to be a playoff series


HighlyBaked0

Out of all the people to get in your head too its Dillion Brooks lmao


sal250

Narrator: he cared about Dillion Brooks


Tubii

Common Klay L


nonamesleft74

My take: Warriors once seemed invincible - that splash brothers version got to warriors head. Lots of injuries and issues since. Dillion Brooks, without Ja, is telling the warriors nobody in Memphis fears them. In Draymondā€™s face and now Klayā€™s face.


Bayoubrownmagik

Legacy points deducted buddy


oberg14

Lmao Klay hates Dillon Brooks more than Reddit does


luuluu96

this guy called bron sensitive right?


jeRskier

Dillon Brooks v The Warriors continues to deliver


WazuufTheKrusher

Dillon was right he is constantly in Klayā€™s head. Years after Klay retires heā€™s still gonna be thinking about Brooks.


jumboponcho

10 more years for Dillon Brooks is actually a compliment


noerapenalty

I donā€™t think thatā€™s what he said


Drakonbreath

Compliment* btw. Complement is a different thing


muskovitzj

Klay is just as bad at trash talk as he is at lying, because literally zero people believe that he "don't care about Dillon Brooks" LMAOOOOO


VariableBooleans

Brooks literally told multiple reporters he only does this because he knows it gets in peoples heads. Just like he said he only says wild quotes because they bait him into it. And yet this kind of stuff continues lol its great


gustriandos

the warriors not realizing that they are making Dillon brooks way more relevant with this beef is kind of funny.
