• An Old School Lesson f...
Klay should take a lesson from Larry Bird. Realize when you can't earn your paycheck anymore, say thank you to the people who were paying you, and bow out. SAY THANK YOU!
The sense of entitlement is out of control for all these players and is fed to us constantly by the media that they are owed the world. What about the players owing the organizations that paid them? Is there any decency or humility in any of their minds to possibly realize they don't deserve what they are asking for?
Petty, passive aggressive Klay Thompson, should go join the king of petty and passive aggressiveness, LeBron, in LA. But only if he takes Draymond with him.

At times, Klay can be a bigger drama Queen than LeBlown Games. 😅😂😂😂
Sadly
Bigger? No, I disagree. No one is more toxic than Lebron.
@@jbizz80 I did specify "at times". 🙂 Overall, LeScam definitely the bigger drama queen. 😆
I understand this channel is a little different. More like pure negativity but I'm just curious HOW Klay Thompson got the "drama queen" stamp. Dude LITERALLY hardly ever talks. Only things ppl know about him is how he act on the floor. That's at work. If u don't follow his little brother or even Klay himself. I'm having a hard time understanding how Klay Thompson is all of a sudden a diva comparable to LBJ. I mean c'mon now. Dude is a legend if he stopped playing today. Y'all on here in the comments acting like Klay a bum. A diva. He sucks soooo bad. Man please. Dude is a legend. He came back from severe acl tears. Ya'll petty little kids don't even know what that even means. Who cares how much money he made. That's HIS bag. Stop making up shit cause Klay unfollowed the team. I'm SURE the ACTUAL person knows MORE about his OWN situation than ANY of ya'll do. Speculation videos don't go viral anyway. Plus they've been talking about Klay for 2 days straight. U LITERALLY didn't even have to make this video 🤣
@@durrellbowden5495 it's a bunch of whiners pretending that Klay does anything that causes drama.
The warriors gave him a max after he tore his ACL. He was paid $68 million for the two seasons he didn’t play. He doesn’t have a case to be picky about his next deal.
💯 wish I could not work for two years and get paid dumb millions
True but if other teams are willing to offer him more $ why wouldn't he try to leverage that to get the same $ from the Warriors? Players do this all the time.
@@roboninja3194 he should try to do that. Deleting stuff on Instagram though is a hoe way of showing leverage
Dray punches people, loses series due to suspension, disrupts the team and he still got payed. Pay Klay wut they owe. He was a major part of all 4 rings bro
Thumb down on your comment
Just FYI for anyone interested, the full details of the Larry Bird retirement story:
"He had a clause in his contract that said, if he didn't retire by August 15th (1992), he would have an automatic renewal of his contract for $4.5 million a year. On August 12th, he came into Dave Gavitt's office, President of the Celtics, and said, 'Dave, I can't do it. My back's too bad, I'm going to retire.'
Gavitt said to him, 'Larry why don't you think about it for a week?'
Bird narrowed his eyes and looked at him and said, 'I know what day this is and if I'm not going to play, I'm not going to take the money'"
Very few NBA players have ever had the class of Larry Bird. Certainly not LeBum James.
I had forgotten all about that so thanks so much for telling that story and reminding me of it. That was really something and
showed what character Larry Bird had as well as being the best all around player in the history of the NBA.
Ben Simmons could learn a thing or two about integrity with this story.
Klay unfollowed the basket too😂
That's Cold 🥶🤣
And deleted his game
@@sunnysied713and dead accurate
the imagine of AOH jumping out of a vehicle at full speed to get away from a Bron stan 🤣
Unfollowing the team, is such a diaper move!!!
He’s learning from the best the “Goat”
Signs of the times.
Our modern society is now a matriarchy... where everyone makes decisions based on emotions... and petty narcissistic female behavior is rampant in all facets of life.
Plenty of modern athletes do this... it's the behavior of women
I can’t even imagine having to endure a conversation with your tow truck driver, working in the Bay Area, who wants LeBron to join the Warriors 😂
Well I was relieved that he only wanted that because he wanted HIS team to be free of LeBron. He is not a Warriors fan, he's a Laker fan
Dude, to think that ANY of these crybabies today would ever have the integrity to actually refuse to take money that they knew they couldn't earn because they knew their production wouldn't be there is wishful thinking. None of these players today are anywhere close to Bird. Integrity wise, or talent wise. Just not even in the same dimension as Bird....
LeChoke On Diddy Blames will be demanding a raise with a walker in 10 years still looking for someone to carry him to a ring to pass MJ with. 😂 That bum will be playing with Alzheimers trying to get those rings. Just wandering around the court.
"And when I won my 7th with a colostomy bag attached, that's when I knew I was the greatest of all time'
-LeChoke Blames
Would you turn the money down?
Lol nah he’s not gonna reach that and just say “it’s just basketball”
@@jbizz80
If I knew I couldn't earn it? Yes. I guess I'm just old school?
@LogicallyKnot it needs contextualized.
I think most people would agree with this reduction. -
If someone says "hey, I want to give you $100 million, no strings attached. You didn't *earn* it, it's a blessing."
We'd all take that.
If we were the top of our experience (best actor/ballplayer/scientist) at SOME point it's expected to be a real leader, take less pay, and SHOW that it's not the money that you love. It's the kung fu of your trade.
Hope someone says "bill russell got 11 fool"
He’s just mad that he looks like like squidwards house
Just stick with me here but I think nikola jokic looks more like squidwards house than Kay does. In fact Jokic look so much like his house that it makes it seem like it and klay shouldn’t be a comparison. Casue klay and jokic look nothing a like. Klay just got a long nose
I'm with glay I'm mean klay looks like Squidward's house
This IMO is just a reflection of our society as a whole. Where is our honesty and integrity? To further embellish the Bird story, the president of operations told Bird "Larry - take a few days and think about it" meaning Bird could have decided not to play but would have been paid. Bird replied "I know what day it is and if I am not going to play = I am not going to take the money"!!!
we need to stand up, take off the gloves, make a real basketball league, ive got 20 dollars, we could start a better league with that, get all the hungry, non paid, great and full of heart basketball players, give them a piece of the pie, and get a real league going as the fake nba falls next year
I want to be the first player signed. I belong in the NBA.
I might ride a bench or two for the rest of my career. But only if the contract is right. I promise, I go to practice. I also never flop!
i had the hope that Klay become a key bench player like shaun livingston was.
He's another Pippen
Agreed. But Pippen was better tho. Klay to me is so overrated its not funny.
Pippen and Klay are overrated…both bus riders
@@meg-k-waldren
Pippen was an afterthought
At this points, he has no trade value. He is just an awful contract now.
That was the beauty of guys like Duncan and Dirk. Even when they deserved max deals they took less. During their twilight years they took less. If guys like that can humble themselves for the team so can everyone else.
I mean, he can only be mad with himself
Bro Larry just gets more legendary with every story I hear about him
those people remember their humble beginings.
The Warriors actually paid Durant, and Klay , handsomely for seasons they didn’t even play in. But hey…it is what it is! 😂
He is like Scottie Pippen with his grudge with Bulls organization 😅
Whoever paid him 68 million to not play for two seasons whatever executive did that should be fired that's willful Financial malpractice I can't even believe that
Then what about the person who paid the con artist Ben Simmons? That's one of the biggest robberies of the century IMO.
He is not a real Bay Area guy, and he deserves Lebron. They wonder why we don't like people from LA when it comes to sports.
My understanding was he's ACTUALLY a Laker fan, but hates Lebron, so "roots" for the local team..... only he hopes Warriors get Lebron so they'll suck and he can go back to cheering for his actual team.
It's sad what Bron did to our game. Worse what the controllers used Bron to do to our game.
@@therealdannymullen He is from LA, went to college in Oregon/Washington. His Dad is or was the voice for the Lakers and played for the Showtime Lakers. Klay was loyal but refuses to recognize that things change and he doesn't want to look in the mirror that in 2024 the $$$ part of this has to be balanced.
Steph does not get enough credit for keeping those teams together well enough to win all of those championships
as a warriors fan, I definitely want Klay and Draymond to both go to the Lakers to play with Lebron and do whatever it is they want to do there
as long as Steph stays, I'm good
Klay's attitude and demeanor is pure toxicity now. Toss in the insufferable "aw, shucks" hand claps while he's consistently clanking brick after brick, hanging his head while getting ravaged on the defensive end, and it's judt appalling to watch. There's no "game 6" Klay anymore. It's over. It's age. It happens. But he's never tried to improve other parts of his game, and now it's too late. Let him walk.
Personally, I'd like to see Steph paired up with nothing but hungry young men without big egos who just love the sport as much as he does and will play hard. They might not win it all right away, but at least he'd be having fun again. Should have dumped Klay last year and kept Dante, who is exactly the kind of guy I'm talking about.
Klay molding himself into the next Scottie Pippen. I am sure Klay will have a book in the future saying he was the only reason Steph Curry won championships... and then Steph's son will date Klay's ex-wife. BOOM! 💣🤣
Remember when he was mad he wasn't top 75 😂
After dropping that 0 point gem that washed mf Klay is lucky the Warriors didn't unfollow him first.
The owners need to collude to never give players more than 100k per season
love it
So the owners can pocket more cash for doing absolutely nothing? Nah. As much as I hate these spoiled players, at least they got to the NBA through talent and effort. Owners like Jeanie Buss are just nepotism incarnate.
I dont give a shit about the owners. I dont know about you, but 100k per year is a great salary for someone who didnt get a college degree. 50mil a year tells players they can do and say and manipulate however they want. They make so much money they dont have to listen or care; they already have enough money to retire the instant they sign the contract. If you only pay them 100k, they may have to question whether they want to stop bitching and play ball, or go work at target stocking the tall shelves. Would go a long way to humble some of these divas
Players will cry about it in their union and go on strike. Terrible look for the NBA and people will ultimately side with the players, not the owners. Ratings will plummet without the big stars on the court, assuming the NBA tries to hire a bunch of replacements. No matter how you spin it, no one is cutting player salaries. It's just a vindictive fantasy that helps us cope with the current state of the league. Only thing we can really do is consume less of this crappy product.
White people love taking money out of a brother's pocket and giving it to even WEALTHIER white people SMH.
1. Pro athletes are literally the top 400 people in their field IN THE WORLD. Anyone at the top of their profession makes ludicrous money
2. Do yall not understand economics or simple math? NBA is a multi billion dollar franchise with like 450 revenue generating employees. Of course
3. This is only brought up in reference to Basketball and Fooball aka the "black" sports. Rarely hear people complaining about Baseball or soccer player's money and ha NEVER here people complain about Soccer player's money
@@AngryOldHoops
as someone who used to watch the NBA, i used to really like klay's game. havent watched in years, and did not witness his downfall coming back after injury, and his antics now is just sad. It is pathetic, but it is at the same time understandable. Professional atheletes at top level have egos, and when the ego dissipates, it hurts man.
AoH, if you can, can you please upload your theme song
As these clips show, Klay's shooting mechanics changed a lot, for the worse of course...
He won 4 titles.... what his he whining about lol.
We know he holds up 4 fingers Everytime we see him.🙄
As if that makes him more than trash in 2024.
I was surprised to hear on the Odd Couple that Rob and Chris think that one of Klay's potential landing spots would be the Lakers. Chris mentioned something about a scenario in which the Lakers possibly get Klay and Paul George and I was like, "so when is Bronny going to see some minutes?" Why would ANYONE want to go to the Lakers knowing they might have to give away minutes so that LeBron's son could get on the court with his old man?! Lakers about to be an even bigger clown show if Bronny gets drafted with that BS contract that Klutch wants for him.
Players excel and earn top money and then hit the moment when they can't earn the salary they have earned...
The warriors ALREADY showed loyalty in 2019 AFTER the ACL tear! They resigned him through 2022! They then resigned him AGAIN! Why should he think he “deserves” it AGAIN?! Especially after a year he rotated in and out of the lineup and was a net negative MOST of the season?! Come on Klay!
Klay doesnt deserve this level of hate man. He has aged badly but that kid balled out and was a bad MFer for most of his career.
Larry Bird is definitely on the greatest of all time mountain, a bad ass with integrity.
Klay for 6th man of the year!! 👍👏🙏🙏
Klay got paid the two years he was on the shelf too He should take what they offer and drive his boat to work. Come off the bench as 3pt specialist.
💯 FACTS! 🔥
Success can either change you for the better or for the worst! Klay went to the dark side! We can't take away the unbelievable moments Klay has had in the league and the records he holds that may never be broken...those are moments! They don't last and you don't get paid for them over and over again...His peers kept putting him in his proper place...Not making all defensive teams! Not making the top 75 all time greats...but they are wrong and Klay is right? Good luck Dallas...I don't think they will come close to the WCF this season! Well see...thanks for taking Klay off our hands! He's on the all Diva team! LOL
"I push my fingers into...my eyes
It's the only thing to slowly stop the ache"
That money comes directly out of the fan's pocket. Every year, the fans have to pay more to see the same, or even a worse product.
Then and now, the number difference in class acts is just night and day. Too few now, and it's progressively getting worse. It's one thing to be brash and overly confident (and boy there's no shortage of those), but it's another to be humble. Speaking of which, y'all hear that song "F*ck Being Humble"? That's what pops to mind whenever I hear players talk today (right, Booker? lol), and when they show contrition and regret for their dumbass actions, it often feels fake and a PR move. Looking at you Ja Morant :V
Not a big warriors fan, but I'd rather root for them instead of the fake conceited Hollywood La Lakers. I like the San Francisco 49ers though.. LA is not a friendly city
I would argue that if an athlete brings an increase in jersey sales and ticket purchases then they would "deserve" more money then another player that doesn't create that increase. But besides jersey sales how would you measure any of the other revenue sources when they involve multiple players. "deserve" is a vague word for Team Sports. Too many variables to make a definitive statement.
I'm glad you said it brother. The media pushes this narrative of big free agent signings. Clay sucks! He's a complete liability. He seems like a super nice guy or at least I thought he was until he became a petulant wimp.
We need more gangster GM's like Ainge that make brutal decisions to help the team(all love I.T😢) not ones who coddle over the hill broken down bums.
Klay should take much less but dude is a legend. He truly is game 6 klay.
The guy was under performing the past 3 yrs he was even the cause why we got eliminated. Fuck the attitude he is showing.
Klay was nothing but a burden this year
Klaymond Green need to go while curry still has the juice
IDK what was worse...his Playing for most of the season, or the After Game Press Conferences where he was acting like an INSUFFERABLE BABY.
totally agree as a celtic larry turned down that money because he was not the same player also his sucesser drafted so he could mentor died of a overdose len bias that's why bird played those extra years it's due in part to that tragedy
from 14 made to 0/10 is wild
Honestly what has he done for the past 5 years. At this point klay and Draymond are holding Steph back they both need to go.
Facts .
It happens with every organization lakers did it with gasol paying him the last years when he was done for what he had done before and a lot of comments from fans would be well he helped win 2 championships
If they were willing to give one of the most useless players in the League, Draymond a new 4yr $120million dollar contract? They might aswell pay Klay… i knew they weren’t going to blow up the team once they gave Green all that money. I don’t even understand WTF their doing? They could’ve signed a FA with that money… I like Klay but those injuries turned him into T-Mac 2.0! But the Warriors were very unprofessional as an Org. Since they been pitching Klay and Curry that they were life long org players… it’s a slap in the face to resign Green and not give Klay an answer for two seasons when he could’ve signed to another team for a new contract for 2-3yrs and been stable.
Klay’s form and effort has been way worse since 2022. A lot of it is just attitude.
It's sad that professional athletes act like 12 yr old girls when they're gonna leave the team they've played for their entire career. Btw Klay average 18 ppg and shot 39% from 3 this season. Somehow that's trash in some people's eyes. The Warriors will regret letting him go.
He's always been a clown.
That’s what happens when you’re spoiled and your dad played in the NBA
The money makes these players ignorant. If owners want to pay Don't blame them.
How did.we get here??????warriors signed Klay to a 5 year 195 million dollar deal.....the 1st 2 years of that.deal klay.aint play 1 minute........the.last 3 years he been WASHED UP SORRY NOT SORRY......HOMIE NEEDS TO TAKE.LESS PERIOD....KLAY NOWHERE NEAR AS GOOD AS HE USED TO BE💯💯💯💯
I like how NBA fans have adopted the whole "its a business" comeback when defending players getting vastly overpaid and just grabbing every dollar regardless of the impact on the team. But then if they cut that player they would get all pissy and talk about loyalty. Players will demand max contracts, vastly underperform and instead of just accepting some low ball deal to win they just take the max available the next time around. Winning clearly doesn't mean shit to these guys, so why would a team want them around.
Lol shut up sheey head. The "its a business" line has ALWAYS been in reference to the owners screwing over a player
I've always wondered why NBA players get more and more money with every year they get older? I get it from 25-30, when you're supposed to be in your prime, but after 34-35? Youre getting worse and worse with yeach passing year - how is the contract structured so tou get the most money in your 37-38th year? 🤨🤔🧐
Also, I've always found Klay's borderline arrogance very unwarranted. You're a specialist, that rarely contributes in anything besides catch and shoot threes, so no, you're definitely not one of the top 75 players in NBA history, and yes, you're completely replaceable. Go see if any other team would be so dumb to offer you a max deal in your current state of play and effort.
Exactly, these financial decisions don't make sense. It's player entitlement. The idea that the player can storm out and cause a mess and coast off old victories.
The way you pronounce "Warrior Organization" is crazy to me. It sounds like WarYoreOre-ganization.
thats why larry legend is way better than Leflop
5:12 they shouldn't get paid exorbitant amounts of money for playing a GAME that is hard on your body...shouldn't fire fighter's get paid more than people who play a game that we would give our left nut to enjoy and get paid for🤷
One entry level contract is the same as a decade or longer for regular folks, the guy who picks up trash everyday in all weather gets little more than crumbs in the grand scheme of things and without sanitation society pretty quickly gets ugly...meanwhile a game being played by babies could easily be replaced with "scab" players that would not whine about the great opportunity they have been given.
Warriors should of never disrespected Klay Thompson, he is a corner stone in that franchise, that dude help to deliver 4 championship 🏆🏆🏆🏆They need to protect their OG, because Klay will make them pay. Salute to ma dawg Klay I know that it was all those injuries that slowed your career down, best of luck where ever you go.
Larry Bird had morals and character but nowadays these guys just cry cry cry about millions must be nice
Chocolate milk, if he poops then he will pees. Rip mini Curry
That's y bird is my goat
Klay unfollowing them doesn’t mean he won’t comeback. Klay can still hoop, players don’t owe these orgs shit just like orgs don’t owe players shit this is a business. L take.
Okay, it's business. If Thompson is acting like a diva, then how does that help his brand when he's looking for a new team and lucrative contract? It doesn't. Professional businessmen will accept their losses, adapt and come up with a new business strategy. Sure, Thompson can hoop, but he can't hoop well enough to earn the contract he wants. He should've played better this season. Show up, or sit back.
@@sunnysied713 how is him unfollowing the team when he’s a free agent acting like a diva?
@@sunnysied713 y’all sound like women when someone unfollows them
@@danieljett3251 Obviously, it's creating social media drama. People only do that petty stuff because they're all hurt in their feelings. Professionally, you unfollow your team after you leave and your career is done with them. You then follow your NEW team.
@@sunnysied713 he’s not under contract with the Warriors, why would he continuing following them while testing free agency?
He is every that is wrong in modern sports, exactly why I don't watch any pro sports
Warriors need LeBron to complete the bum dream team with Chris Paul, Draymond and the other fools.
Bring those fools to LA… I know Draymond been wanting to play with LeBron
They’ll be the Bay Area version of the LA Clippers. Bunch of washed up stars trying to play together.
great 80s tune…bye bye tho klay
NBA players are such a drama queens.cant stand .
Bro. You have 4 Chips and 2 blown ACLs. Tell your ego to take a seat. You don't even have to retire, just humble yourself and be realistic about your value
Ya trippin. Klay did nothin wrong man brought u chipsnd u wont let him retire there, but if he left when he was good he would've been a trailer..
We love it when the slave is sold but hate when they demand freedom. He deserves loyalty
What is the guns n roses song dude ?
Motley Crue - don't go away mad
I know. I am dump.
Lol damn 🤣🤣🤣
Go Celtics
The whining, spoiled little brat who travels on every other possession and treats his teammates with open contempt? LeBung to the Warriors, no, please no.
its nothing about right or wrong, its 100% grabbing all the money, while its still here, and its also about keeping the money laundering cash coming
Please take lebron warriors. Thanks for paying it forward
Klay.got about 5 more years.as.a starter, it would be. Nice if he JOIN.ĹEBRON, AND AD, THAT WOULD BRING ANOTHER TROPHY TO LA
its pretty bad when you dream of getting rid of your "stat" players, and these "players" you would pay to get rid of are nba players, who make almost a million a game, talk about not passing eye or smart brain test??
All this over him unfollowing them weak video AOH. Larry couldn’t play anymore Klay still can. These orgs aren’t hurting for money just like the players aren’t if anything the orgs are just as much to blame for the behavior of players and Klay is nowhere near how these other players act, he struggles being benched as anyone would but came to understand it.
Is he not allowed to test free agency? Klay isn’t even worried about money he wants the years, he knows he has to take a pay cut with GSW.
Klay = Overrated
Sorry but steph is going to need a real number 2 19points a game is not a hall of famer neither is a triple single yall been eating because of steph without him yall would be roll players
stat is star,.sorry
its just shooting nothing else and u going bad in this when u get older
so pay him he would get better because he get more money
an then there's benjamin buttons simmons styll in the association who has stolen billions frum the franchises that were dumb enuff 2 pay him for not even playin. make it make cents.
He going to magic not lakers
I draw the line at Klay slander.
Has his game degraded yes.
But not Let's pretend like any team including the warriors still can't benefit from Klay as a 6th man.
His history with warriors to him personally may name that impossible.
But he still Klay Thompson knock it off .
Klay is washed and he still acting entitled. He deserves the slander
draw whatever lines you want klay and dray are hurting the team on both ends and with chemistry
These players these days want more money than theyre worth.
LIKE IF YOU'RE SOMEONE LIVING IN THE BAY AREA WHO WILL NEVER WANT LEBLOWN GAMES TO JOIN YOUR TEAM!! 😤😤
👇
I'm from and live in Ohio and I'm with you 😂😂😂😂. I wish that leech would retire already lmao.
Don't have to live there anymore but as a native SFer there is no way in HELL that LBJ's big fat narcissistic ego fits AT ALL. What the hell is wrong with people? Steph said ages ago: "THANKS BUT NO THANKS". ALSO Draymond the suck up to Lebum Green has been licking Klutch sports boots since he became part of that Mafia. HELL TO THE NO. Rich Paul actually doesn't want it cuz he knows this is Steph's house and Steph is THE REAL THREAT TO LBJ'S LEGACY AS HE HAS AS MANY RINGS DURING THE SAME ERA
Klay is showing his true nature. Instead of showing loyalty to the team that showed loyalty to him, he rather get in his feelings. I wish he would stay and come off bench, but if this how he gonna act then good riddance and good luck
"When someone shows you who they are, believe em!"
Klay has ALWAYS been this way
Remember when draymond said klay could guard Kobe?
A lot of warrior fans believed that because they only remember Klay guarding Kobe after his Achilles injury. He was always cooking Klay before that injury.
@@Serching4JerryGarciahe still cooked him after, too.
That’s a good idea. A new league without bitching And bail outs
