Yeah, but there are a lot of HUGE performances in NBA history that might be better than this. Off the top of my head, I think Dirk Nowitzki in the 2011 playoffs (the whole playoffs) was much more clutch. Not trying to discredit Klay for an amazing game, but I'm just not sure about this being among the most clutch performances.
+RunnerProblems if we looking at greatest SINGLE playoff games, this is one of the greatest ever. without a doubt. considering all the circumstances. the pressure. on the road where they've been blown out the last two times there by 30. and he dropped 11 threes, *and singlehandedly outscored THE ENTIRE THUNDER TEAM IN THE FOURTH* (19-18) and held westbrook to a poor night shooting. Dirk had some crazy playoff games, but never adds much defensively.
Yeah this performance was crazy. He was guarding a top 5 player who probably has the best stamina in the league and he was still able to have a crazy shooting game.
This was such an emotional performance. I thought I was watching their last game of the season, and he shot his heart out. It felt like one of those feel-good sports movies.
KD & Westbrook have been better imo. Westbrook is almost averaging a triple double a game and KD hasn't had a game with less than 20 points in a long time if at all this post-season.
Many will probably disagree..But: Klay Thompson is OFFICIALLY in the TOP 5 Greatest shooters of ALL-TIME! I know we always speak about Curry, and rightlyfully so - he's the #1 GOAT shooter. Also, I have been telling yall since 2 YEARS AGO (go check their duel videos) that: Klay > Harden - for the best SG in the league and NOW yall want to hop on smh... when mentioning Klay's name? #PutSomeRESPEKonIt #YouCantNameFiveShootersInNbaHistoryBetterThanKlay
It's 2021 and i'm just missing the other half of the splash brothers. I remember watching this game and feeling scared up until the point when klay drained that 30-footer over roberson. I knew from then, this was in the bag. Nobody was stopping this man
Before the playoffs, Thompson was viewed as just another allstar, but he's elevated his game to superstar levels in these playoffs. One of the greatest playoff performances of all time.
This dude is incredible. Had the greatest long-range shooting game in the playoffs ever and did a great job on Westbrook. Will go down as one of the greatest performances ever if Warriors win G7. Best SG in the league. #DUBSIN7
$DameDoLLa$ well for 1 Curry was injured the first two rounds before dominating Portland the final 2 games. and actually they've both been equally as good Curry in the playoffs avging 26/6/6 on 46% and Klay is averaging 26/4/3 on 46% also lmfao. Klay has struggled in this WCF until tonight though.
SSA INVINCIBLEx You just start watching the playoffs. he's doing this consistently. Stop with the Wade bs. Hes on the couch rn. Yes hes arguably still Top 5 rn. But this guy has been on his game all playoff long
+SSA INVINCIBLEx Wade is a great leader, but before curry came Back Klay was putting up 27 a game. Klay is arguably the best player of this entire playoffs.
the similarities between this game and the regular season game a few months before are eerie... OKC up most of the game both times, Curry and Thompson shooting lights out from 3 to win the game down the stretch...
If you are wondering why the Warriors gave Klay a max even after he tore his knee in the 2019 Finals that's why. They would never win 3 titles without him.
this guy barely has any haters.. I mean how can you hate on this guy he's humble and he's a beast but Curry haters trying to say that he is better than Curry... they're both out of this world and I always think Thompson is The X Factor especially if they play the Cavs
i remember this game vividly. because around the 2nd 3 pointer my thought was, "is he..." then the 3rd i thought "yup he's hot. FEED HIM" and around the 4th 3 steph picked up on it too then the whole team started looking for him.
People always knocking the modern NBA but this was a great game. I was watching this on my phone after lights out waiting for bed checks. I was in shock. Klay was unconscious.
Sorry OKC, you had your chances, you blew it. game 7 curry gonna have a monster game, and KD and westbrick gonna be bickering about who's gonna take the shot...
I have a feeling since now the series is back in Oracle, GSW is going to the Finals. I was really hoping that the Thunder would win this but Klay, dang 11 3s.
I’ll never forget this game I live in Oakland and remember thinking it was a wrap I went to the gym to distract myself cuz I thought if I stayed at home and watched the game id jynx it cuz I was watched the whole miserable series at home up till that point The game was playing on all the tv’s at the gym I stretched and never did a single workout cuz of how tense the game was I remember when klay started getting hot and just wouldn’t stop Glued to the tv Then his insane three with no dribble from dang near the logo right in russ eyeballs This man is the definition of not human He did this to save the warriors in this game 6 2016 Agaon game 6 2018 against the rockets with cp3 when we’re yet again down And then again with the raptors 2019 that guarantee if he didn’t get his acl tear he woulda finished with 45 plus and won the game and the series *sigh I hope he comes back full strength man Once in a life time specimen
it's over, I don't see no team beating Warriors. I think Cavs take them 7 but still lose. Klay is the best 2 in the league and one of the best 2 way players as well. he was just unconscious in the 4th! 🐐
2:00 not only is Klay one of the best shooters in the world, he's also pretty tall. Westbrook gotta put a hand in his face, or he'll just rise up and shoot over you. Hand down, man down
It's crazy how fast people forgot about this series. This might be one of the most important of the decade.
100% the most important series of the decade.
Yeah this series decided the rest of decade and it is crazy to think about
No one's ever forgetting this series
Nobody forgot about it
Ever*
One of the clutchest performances ever
Idk about that, maybe...
Yeah, but there are a lot of HUGE performances in NBA history that might be better than this. Off the top of my head, I think Dirk Nowitzki in the 2011 playoffs (the whole playoffs) was much more clutch.

He did in his prime he was a good defender just not great.
EVER
This dude straight up carried the Warriors , hitting clutch shots and guarding Westbrook at the same time
Yeah this performance was crazy. He was guarding a top 5 player who probably has the best stamina in the league and he was still able to have a crazy shooting game.
This was such an emotional performance. I thought I was watching their last game of the season, and he shot his heart out. It felt like one of those feel-good sports movies.
BRO HONESTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was watching at a sports book in Vegas and the handful of Warriors fans there were flipping out. Needless to say Klay won me a chunk of change.
It helped that Durant was playing with one hand on his throat.
OMG his release is nasty af, so quick
One if best performance I have seen in my life. Klay couldn't miss
This to me is what defines beast mode! classic game!
People forget Klay was having another Klay game 6 vs Raptors before he tore the ACL. What could have been
facts i say that all the time, he had like 34 with a few left in the 3rd quarter. I legit think we couldve won if he didnt get injured
@@JohanLTK fax
@@JohanLTK facts
@@JohanLTK Yeah. IDK about game 7, but had a good shot of forcing a game 7
The Warriors still would’ve lost, don’t get it twisted
By far the best player in this series. Possibly the best player in the West these playoffs too
faxx

The truth
KD & Westbrook have been better imo. Westbrook is almost averaging a triple double a game and KD hasn't had a game with less than 20 points in a long time if at all this post-season.
I will take impact over empty stats

LOL CANF BREATH
not gonna lie... he's the reason they won. also, he's probably gonna be the reason they go to the finals
He’s the reason why KD came to the Warriors 😂
I didn't appreciate this enough live so I am watching it again now
It's 2021 and i'm just missing the other half of the splash brothers. I remember watching this game and feeling scared up until the point when klay drained that 30-footer over roberson. I knew from then, this was in the bag. Nobody was stopping this man
If this never happened KD would still be in OKC
Facts
How, he would have still lost to bron
@@pkboolean but he joined the Warriors because he couldn’t beat them. If he beat them there would be no reason to join them
No if LeBron didn’t get Dray kicked out and if Bogut didn’t get hurt they would’ve went back to back and Durrant would’ve never came.
@@gurshaansidhu8081 he would’ve joined the cavs😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He has been carrying the Warriors in the playoffs. He has been arguably the best player in the playoffs.
Lmao
+Lord Dj W

I want OKC to win but they won't focus Klay Curry has been off this series they need to take advantage game 7.
these nobodies spamming "Ls" like they have a voice to speak among men... pretty sad
Klay just snatched the crown for best SG in the league. plays stellar defense and continues to light teams up. incredible.
Before the playoffs, Thompson was viewed as just another allstar, but he's elevated his game to superstar levels in these playoffs. One of the greatest playoff performances of all time.
Idc what anyone says. Klay is the second greatest shooter of all time hands down
No hesitation. Just catch and let it fly. That shooting stroke is just a beauty to watch
This dude is incredible. Had the greatest long-range shooting game in the playoffs ever and did a great job on Westbrook. Will go down as one of the greatest performances ever if Warriors win G7. Best SG in the league.

$DameDoLLa$ well for 1 Curry was injured the first two rounds before dominating Portland the final 2 games.
and actually they've both been equally as good
Curry in the playoffs avging 26/6/6 on 46% and Klay is averaging 26/4/3 on 46% also lmfao. Klay has struggled in this WCF until tonight though.
Klay Thompson's game has come such a long way from his rookie year
Dammnn what a performance by Thompson.. watching here now in 2022 hope Clay will come back to his form and do this clutch in game 6 Finals 2022.
Klay Thompson and Curry played clutch in the 4th nobody carried the other
W
2:46 that shot was amazing. He caught the ball and directly fired it.
Klay is the best SG in the league and the best player in the playoffs so far
lol he's not better than Wade. He happens to go off and he's suddenly better? Get real.
SSA INVINCIBLEx You just start watching the playoffs. he's doing this consistently. Stop with the Wade bs. Hes on the couch rn. Yes hes arguably still Top 5 rn. But this guy has been on his game all playoff long
Nah..... So far best player is Lebron or Russell
***** Hilarious
+SSA INVINCIBLEx Wade is a great leader, but before curry came Back Klay was putting up 27 a game. Klay is arguably the best player of this entire playoffs.
I’m convinced this guy Klay went to see a witch doctor the night before!
He was shooting like a man possessed this game 😤😤😤
We all remember exactly where we were when this game happened.
I feel bad for anybody who didn’t watch this in real time... shit was really insane
Facts, Golden State was down LITERALLY the entire game lmaoo
the similarities between this game and the regular season game a few months before are eerie... OKC up most of the game both times, Curry and Thompson shooting lights out from 3 to win the game down the stretch...
He scored 41 and almost single-handedly held Westbrook to 40%. That's amazing.
5th Anniversary today and I'm still watching this everyday damn day, still waiting for your comeback Game 6 Klay!
At times it looked as if Klay was shooting the ball before he even looked at the rim thats how quick his release is
Here to reminisce with Steven Adams
This is the definition of “in the zone”
This is the toughest shooting performance in NBA history.
He stepped up big time
Here after klay eliminated the grizzlies.
They must've forgot he's the 3pt champ #KlayStation3(ball)
heh i like that nick name KlayStation3
his best nickname is AKlay-47 lol
It really is tragic that we lost two straight seasons of prime Klay to injuries. They could've actually been dangerous this year.
Splashius Klay pulled them out the fire. History will always remember this performance.
This guy plays his heart out on defense and still has enough energy to score 41 points. West Conference MVP right here if they make it to the finals.
and to think this was the first ever NBA game I ever went to and I got to see klay do that!! I'm definitely thankful😎
Game 6 Klay is on a different level
Damn i miss this squad and this series sm.
Who is here after his new injury 😪
Greatest sniper in Nba History
Whos here after Golden state down 3-1 tonight? Warriors need this Klay in Game 5 monday! 🔥
Best SG on the planet!!
Had to come back and watch this video after that game...Klay is a beast!
People don't give this man the credit he deserves, honestly is probably the best 2 guard in the league right now
Klay Thompson is a fuckin Superstar.. Don't care what none of yall say.. He literally carried the Warriors with this win
top 5 performances of all time, not just nba but basketball period.
when u consider everything, this performance from klay was absolute insanity!!!
Can’t wait for Klay to come back
If you are wondering why the Warriors gave Klay a max even after he tore his knee in the 2019 Finals that's why. They would never win 3 titles without him.
Started to look like his 37 point quarter self 🔥🔥
Here before Lakers vs Warriors game 6. I hope this Klay Thompson shows up🙏🏾
i kneeling and watching the game ,damn,klay is so crazy
This ninja had me speechless last night, but kd gotta step his game up 10/31 aint gonna cut it.
Damn nba will be torch when klay returns. Im excited to see him match up with the upcoming players in todays game..
I know they didn't get the ring but this vid still gives me goosebumps
Betchu can’t name a more clutch shooting performance in the playoffs than this by klay! Top 3 shooter of all time imo
i swear klay is the best sg in the lead hand down man down
I remember watching this game when I was 9 and I thought he was some type of alien because he didn’t miss.
🌊🌊🌊
Doesn’t get enough credit for changing the course of history
diamond Klay
i need dat
He's so humble. Doesn't brag doesn't celebrate too much. Just playing the game the right way.
You can tell KD fans don’t know basketball they said this man wasn’t a superstar
Klay never looks tired #toptier
this guy barely has any haters.. I mean how can you hate on this guy he's humble and he's a beast but Curry haters trying to say that he is better than Curry... they're both out of this world and I always think Thompson is The X Factor especially if they play the Cavs
This performance doesn't get enough respect.
i remember this game vividly. because around the 2nd 3 pointer my thought was, "is he..." then the 3rd i thought "yup he's hot. FEED HIM" and around the 4th 3 steph picked up on it too then the whole team started looking for him.
People always knocking the modern NBA but this was a great game. I was watching this on my phone after lights out waiting for bed checks. I was in shock. Klay was unconscious.
Klay was unconscious out there.
I was 13 watching this at 1am TWEAKING
I remember this game. I was in Nashville in my hotel room. I know I made the rooms next to me pissed by how much I was screaming 😂
God Mode Klay 🔱
Trey Thompson
Came back after "Game 6 Klay" disappeared this year.
Miss those times.
This is crazy asf the warriors are home next game they are about to win a 3-1 comeback CRAZY
If klay doesn’t go off like this i feel like the thunder become NBA champions
Prime klay
Thus the legend that is "Game 6 Klay" was born
Sorry OKC, you had your chances, you blew it. game 7 curry gonna have a monster game, and KD and westbrick gonna be bickering about who's gonna take the shot...
I have a feeling since now the series is back in Oracle, GSW is going to the Finals. I was really hoping that the Thunder would win this but Klay, dang 11 3s.
same here, I would of loved to see Kd match up against Lebron and Lebron taking it for the land
his position is key word SHOOTING GAURD and he is the best at it by far best and I would say top 10 overall player in the league
And klay is only 3rd team all NBA? #Scandalous
I'm so hyped 4 years later..
Best shooter ever
Klay is perfectly fit with Steph
Imma need a reference of him in at least 5 rap songs. That's how you know you've truly made it!
Ive never seen a crowd so loud and want their team to win more. And the 30 footers wouldn’t stop sheesh
I’ll never forget this game
I live in Oakland and remember thinking it was a wrap
I went to the gym to distract myself cuz I thought if I stayed at home and watched the game id jynx it cuz I was watched the whole miserable series at home up till that point
The game was playing on all the tv’s at the gym
I stretched and never did a single workout cuz of how tense the game was
I remember when klay started getting hot and just wouldn’t stop
Glued to the tv
Then his insane three with no dribble from dang near the logo right in russ eyeballs
This man is the definition of not human
He did this to save the warriors in this game 6 2016
Agaon game 6 2018 against the rockets with cp3 when we’re yet again down
And then again with the raptors 2019 that guarantee if he didn’t get his acl tear he woulda finished with 45 plus and won the game and the series
*sigh
I hope he comes back full strength man
Once in a life time specimen
it's over, I don't see no team beating Warriors. I think Cavs take them 7 but still lose. Klay is the best 2 in the league and one of the best 2 way players as well. he was just unconscious in the 4th! 🐐
I remember this game like it was yesterday
Klay doesn't have this game and Durant is still a Thunder. #facts
2:00 not only is Klay one of the best shooters in the world, he's also pretty tall. Westbrook gotta put a hand in his face, or he'll just rise up and shoot over you. Hand down, man down
If he is on fire, no one can stop him.
Been the best Warrior in these playoffs by a big margin.
Q: What does KD and a paper have in common
A: They both fold under pressure!!
