- One of the great moments in Finals history, Klay Thompson tears his ACL, gets ushered into the locker room, turns BACK around and checks himself into the game, then knocks down 2 free throws... He even tried to stay in the game and play on it afterwards. A true warrior in every sense of the word. Wish nothing but the best for Klay man, hoping for a speedy recovery. Let's go out there and try to win title number 4 for Klay and KD next year 😤

To make this even more legendary, after the game, Steve Kerr told reporters what Klay said to him as he was taken into the locker room;
"Just a two minute rest, I'll be ready." with a torn ACL. And if y'all watched the full telecast of the game you'd know that Klay RAN back into the locker room, and also was jumping up and down in the tunnel trying to talk Warriors trainers into letting him back on the court.... this man is a warrior.
Yeah he is. He’s a a Golden State Warrior
Well that’s incredibly stupid. He could’ve ruined his career
He hasnt played since
The warrior's back on his feet.
@@gordonraleigh5647 If it was during a regular season game then yeah no doubt the stupidest move ever. But this was the NBA Finals. His team was on the verge of winning 3 titles in a row. They didn’t have KD anymore and were down 3-2 in the Series. It was all or nothing. In the end he didn’t come back, but you have to appreciate he was willing to give everything just to win. I wouldn’t call that stupidity.
This moment will be forever burned into my memory. I will always have respect for Klay for this
Cold Blooded. Never forget what he has done for the team, he's a true Warrior.
TRUE WARRIOR RIGHT THERE. I gotta say, when I saw that live I thought for sure he had torn something, I've never ever seen Klay in that level of pain before. Was painful to see, and then I saw him jumping and running I thought he was okay, but he fucking tore his ACL and tried to play in the game.
Brian Weng he probably tore it even worse by doing that lol
I remember that feeling bro i was in my head saying cmon Klay you can walk it off cuz he’s tough but I didn’t want to accept that he tore his ACL
haha "warrior" good joke. Dude aint no warrior. He gets paid millions to play a game while the real WARRIORS are out fighting for our freedom
Mamba Mentality
Rip
True 🐐
Kobe died lol
@@isaacsilva4301 weirdo
@@isaacsilva4301 YEAH WHATS SO FUNNY ABOUT THAT
My dude was ready to D up and finish th game bruh
It's a mentality, and Klay was murdering them on each end of the floor until the injury. He probably drops a +45 if that didn't happen
My guy wanted to continue even tho he had an ACL injury. He had Mamba Mentality in him 🔥🙏🏻🐐 respect ✊🏻✊🏻
He would have stayed in the game if they let him.
He's Out of Finals and Out of Regular Season.
2 and almost a half years later… I can’t wait to see him play again
He prolly would've fucked it up more, no?
@@DizzyO6 😂
That would be unwise
I’m impressed he’s bending his knees on those free throws
That may have been what finished his acl to the point of a full tear though.
Man when i tore my ACL in a high school game...i couldn't move my leg. This dude's tough as fuck.
Remember.. Phillip Rivers played an entire football game with a torn ACL. crazy!
I could barely walk for 3 hours! This guy ran down the court after free throws lol
I’m getting chills watching this again as Klay gets ready for his finals return.💪💪💪
54 points tonight and came up clutch!
1:37 that ref wants to give him the tech
Curry is Throws D' Ball Violently Tantrum But Technical Foul for Steph.
😂
Bro was ready to eject his ass 😭😭
Him and kobe came back for some freethrows man.
Klay is a GOAT for coming back I know I wouldn’t have lol
Your boy klay was hopping too 💀
And now, they're the conference champion again. 🏆 Thank you Klay! 05/27/22
and NBA champions in a few minutes
I hate to see kawhi 's reaction like grinning when he saw klay came back, he seemed like enjoying and happy cause klay cant play anymore or something like -" i thought youre hurt and then youre here taking free throws" thats like a smile from a ...
I think he was just happy to see Klay come back on the court. As the opponent you never wish an injury on any player
It sucks they lost but hearing that crowd and seeing Klay come back out was better than a championship.
Wishing Klay comes back from his torn Achilles. I missed seeing him out there
Same
Our wish is coming true brother . He’s coming back in under a month!!!
@@glowin5108 It’s here brother
@@Sunnythug95 We in the finals too!
@@micamica2497 Yes we are 🙌🏻
I fucking love this guy man. Tears acl and notice how he for sure wants to keep going running down the court to play D. Ultimate warrior 💪💪
still makes me sad, angry, and respect to this day
That was an inspiring heroic action. He had an idea how bad/dangerous/scary it was and did it anyway. That’s what being a hero is, KNOWING that doing what needs to be done is terrifying but finding the courage to do it, no matter how small or insignificant the action may seem.
Major respect to Danny Green I never noticed how he explained himself to Klay. 👍
Legendary King
I was so scared this would be the last time we saw Klay play like Klay. I thought he wouldn't be the same player. I'm so glad I was wrong. His first season back, Dubs went to the Finals, and all throughout their playoff run, you wouldn't even have thought that he'd been injured. It was amazing to see. Much respect to the future Hall Of Famer and one of the best shooters of all time.
Klay is tuff man 💯💯💯💯
this man was able to run with a torn acl. wow
U can run but u risk so much damage to your knee
Rip Kobe
Dont wanna look again at this video , so heartaching
Any acl tear makes me cringe
1:11 when his right leg swung wildly out to the right after contact, the stage was set for a catastrophic injury because he intended to land on both legs. Since half the base (his right leg) was taken out, Klay’s left leg was left to take the impact from a very unstable position as the combined momentum from his jump and the contact from Green in the air have him going forward and to his right (left of screen). He was not prepared to land on one leg and that’s why the landing was a problem, and this was compounded by the fact that he was more focused on the ball (1:12) rather than landing safely and he doesn’t even seem to notice he is about to land.
I am so happy he is back and healthy and see him returning to full strength within a year (as if injuries never happened). I also see him having a new career high in points within next two seasons. 🙏
1:41 ref is staring into my SOUL
Mamba Mentality. RIP Kobe
I feel like I’m going to cry when klay plays tonight
We DO NOT DESERVE KLAY 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
what does that mean ? get off here bandwagon, we deserve Klay and Curry, we drafted them, in fact we were offered Kevin Love, a superstar at that time, for Klay, a bench player at the same time, i choosed Klay, and look at how he turned into THE OPTION for us
Ibnziyad Tariq tf u mean u chose klay it u got nothin to do with that
@@adrianpaolosanchez9932 all GS fans did, especially when we said no to the Kevin Love trade, in fact it's the fans who pay the team, so dont be an idiot about it. For who do you think these players play ?
Klay is a G for that
Came back after he missed two crucial free throws but drains a three to seal the win 🔥
Mamba mentality 🐍🐐
The NBA is missing Klay Thompson. Hope he's back next season at the level who ALL want him to be at.
HEEEEEEESSSSS BAAAAAAACKKKKKKK
Finals champions
Glad klay made a full recovery
Who is here after his 2022 return?? Also, why did I cry a little watching this?
Klay is insane, true Warrior. This guy would stay in the game with no legs.
Never seen someone trying to keep playing with a torn ACL, no other way to describe him but that he literally is a true warrior. He was the reason they were leading this game at this point, he was on fire, and then this bullshit happened.
some more insult to injury was steph's reaction knowing that the title is that much farther out of reach
That what causes a lot tears when your thigh bone goes inward and your foot goes outward while knee is under a lot of pressure in this situation and explodes under tension
3:05
hurts just watching, cant imagine the actual pain
Almost 1,100 days after he tore his ACL in his knee against the Raptors in Game 6 of the 2019 NBA Finals, Klay Thompson returned and won his fourth NBA title with the Golden State Warriors in 2022.
He’ll be back tomorrow!
Last player to do that was Kobe, mamba mentality 💪🏽
Cousins didn’t care if Klay didn’t want to come out. He committed the foul to make sure Klay wasn’t gonna get hurt further because he suffered the same injury. It was like “Trust me, you need to come out of the game.”
If you pause at 2:07 you can see Kawhi smiling because he knew it wasn’t going to be an easy game after Klay returned
How much does Klay Thompson mean to GS fans? Listen to the reaction when everyone saw him walking out of the tunnel. Thats a WWE style pop man
Only the fake fans don’t appreciate Klay Thompson, talking about he should be traded cause he doesn’t play good some games, like he hasn’t been thru hell and back with this organization, he should and will retire a warrior
After watching the moment kobe tore his acl and shot his two free throws I realized klay did the same thing during the finals and was also there to witness kobe shoot his free throws.
How do you tear your ACL and then stay in a game i wouldnt even be able to walk dont that shit hurt like hell?
It hurts me to watch this cause I’ve watched it live
This reminded me of the time Kobe tore his Achilles and the rest you most likely know
They win this game and the finals if Klay stays in
This is why I have an Oakland Klay jersey
landed with foot pointed out and knee went in. wouldve been nice to land with foot straight and then have knee track with the foot. he was kinda flying laterally though so that just sucks
Yeah and I think he was planning on landing with both feet but that became difficult with right leg swinging wildly after impact (1:11) and then at 1:12 he is more focused on the ball than on his position in space so it seems he doesn’t even realize he is about to land.
at the last ever game in Oracle arena
I guess this will be our final great memory of Klay...
no:(
@@hazlamroymahendra Really sad what's happening to him and the warriors right now... I was really hyped to watch the splash brothers this season.
Heeeeeezzzz BACKKKK!!!
@@Spin24Doctor Hell yes he is and I am so happy to eat those words.
@@hristijanzdravkovski5970 we in this together fam. 💪🏾. Hope you celebrating the 🏆 # 4 rn!!
Why was cousins limping at 5:53?
This moment ruined his whole career
He ran
when i saw this it remind's me of kobe bryant
Hes like the undertaker coming out the coffin
He watched kobe do the samething right in front of him
come back
To win a chip 3 years later
Last good finals for me
Fucking goat
HEY MIKE BREEN IS LEFT KNEE NOT RIGHT LEG!
I just go an ACL it don’t feel great
kawhi got injured in san antonio in a game against the warriors. Then Klay gets injured in a game against kawhi.
Had he went for a reverse layup that wouldnt have happened
Khawi was slick laughing when he walked back on the court but you see who got the last laugh cause ian seen khawi show up in the nba since these finals just trash !!!!
he just needs to harden up
i hate danny green even more now.
Danny green should have never went for the block the mad already had the ball in the rim wtf .
He aint no kobe
No disrespect but i don't believe that was a real
Shut up you dumb fuck
I’m not buying this I had an acl you can’t put any pressure on it.
"Not buying this" the doctors literally confirmed he tore his ACL lmfao stfu
TheNBAFreak
Like I said unless you’ve had one you wouldn’t know the pain. It’s scientifically impossible to bend your knee in which an important ligament is fucked.
Well it depends on how bad the strain is. Grade 1, 2, 3? He may have not had a complete acl tear and with his PCL still intact as well as his patellar ligament it would still allow him to walk, jump and bend but with pain. I've never seen a man try and play off an ACL tear, so even if it was a grade 1 he's a champ for trying to play it off. Coming from Houston. I'm assuming you had a grade 3 tear. Hope it's all healed up man.
@@mcsballer19 I had a complete ACL tear and was able to do my full firefighter duties until the strain on my other ligaments became aparent and a mri showed i have a full acl tear
Everyone has an acl
Kobe better
not the time
It's not a fucking competition, clown.
So
atleast klay is alive lmao
