    Thank you everyone for watching! We truly appreciate the support. I would like to clear some things up:
    As a brand new channel we are still ironing things out. We now know after publishing this video that some images aren’t accurate. We will continue to get better and strive to be the best basketball channel on TH-cam, which we are confident we will achieve. Making mistakes and learning from them all play a part in the process of an early channel on TH-cam.
    We would like to end with this: The voice you hear in the video is a real human voice. It is NOT AI. Nothing in our creating process is AI.
    Once again thanks for all the love and support!

      I'm going to be brutally honest with you. When I come across a video like this announcing itself as a new up and coming force in the TH-cam NBA doc/commentary space, with a dude speaking over it who is clearly American yet doesn't know how to pronounce numerous players' names, it just seems really fishy and shady to me. Like weird content farm stuff that doesn't actually care about the game. Good content is good content but I'm just saying.

      Agree both did wrong. Still mostly on Klay though.
      Klay's endearing persona made his supersized ego/arrogance not too obvious. Something must have been said/done to fatally wound Klay's ego from which he could not recover and thus become blind to whatever good the organization has also done for him.
      His 1st injury was "on the job" during a 2019 Finals game. The 2nd injury was not - it was in some random pickup game in L.A. at the end of his rehab period but before his return to practice/scrimmage with the team. So that's on him, and he seems in denial, incapable of coming to grips with the consequences of such bad decision. And yet he was still given a max contract extension.
      Subsequent contract extensions for both Wiggins and Green, were aligned with the duration of Curry's latest contract extension. So was the 2-year contract extension offered to Klay. He declined the offer and became overly focused on proving himself as deserving more. Although Klay said all the right things, his attitude and demeanor said otherwise, ultimately becoming toxic detrimental to team chemistry and success.
      Hoping the big 3 Steph-Dray-Klay could have stayed together their entire careers - it would have been a singular accomplishment. But as always the big 3 letters EGO wins.

      Mullin ended in Indiana .. Hardaway in Miami.. Richardson in Phoenix..the Warriors don’t have legacy players in their history that go start to finish. . Every one that you can make an argument for ended their career elsewhere. I’ve been a warriors fan since 1986,. In the business of the NBA , it never takes a backseat to the player no matter how big a star or superstar they are. You have Dirk, Duncan., Kobe.. who else? Even Scottie and MJ moved on from Chicago, Hakeem ended up in Toronto, Shaq played on how many teams? Magic, Lakers, Boston, Miami, phoenix? LeBron started in Cleveland, then Miami, then back to Cleveland., now LA.

    Klay has never been the same since he came back from his two year injury out the game. Charles Barkley called him out on the air which Klay responded with a forty plus game. Exactly one game. Then immediately sunk back to increasing diminishing returns. The Warriors and Kerr left him in the starting rotation far longer than any organization would have and his past accomplishments, his amazing resume and team loyalty toward him gave him more second chances than should have been alloted. It all culminating into his embarrassing grand stage disaster playoff outing scoring zero points despite playing the entire game. The Warriors kept investment in him despite the lack of results and ever decreasing productivity even off the bench cost The Warriors and Curry two years for another ring they can't get back. It boggles the mind then when athletes conveniently forget all this at the negotiation table. The Mavs signed a sinking ship. He is going to be an expensive bench warner for Luka.

    • @noctwice
      @noctwice 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

      Klay couldn’t accept moving to the bench even though his play put him there. Same exactly situation will likely play out on the Mavs. How are they going to play their big three together? Defense will be almost non existent if they start them all. Klay didn’t want to go back to the Warriors not because of money but because of ego. Probably hardest part for future hall of famers to accept. They aren’t the same player anymore after two season ending injuries.

      @@karledwinmolina-fn4np Klay was signed to his max contract after his ACL injury. Klay went on to an additional season ending injury a year later trying to come back from his ACL and tore his achilles. For many players that injury is career ending not just season ending. Klay fought back and returned then the Warriors went on to win another chip. But let’s not be fooled. Klay isn’t the same player and lacks the mobility he had prior to injury.
      I don’t think Klay suffered from performance anxiety. The Warriors did not offer Klay another max contract but neither was under an illusion a max contract was available. The Warrior’s offered Klay $48 million over two years. Klay bet on himself and rejected the offer. Ultimately Klay signed for $50 million over three years and a fresh start with Dallas.

    Klay only wanted to be a starter and was reported having anger/attitude problems off court. He isn’t coming to terms with his present self. GS,LAL not giving him the starting spot yet Mavs are speaks a lot of his choice. As much as people are saying that GSW management were the ones that made Klay leave by a half hearted deal, u gotta know that if they gave Klay a big contract and he still couldn’t perform, Stef and Dray would leave. If 1 out of 3 of them had to leave which would you rather let go? Dray has his issues but at least he still can play D and facilitate well. As much of a Klay fan i am…he’s just been jackin up ill advised shots and not having any impact on D.

And for me, since he left he has shown no class in insulting the way management treated the players. Hey, that is not what has ever been said about the team.-Kerr took heat from fans for playing him first team too long before sitting him down.if Klay missed a shot, he was walking around on his bottom lip. No, the decision was his and he turned down the extension before the season started-could not make the same offer by the time the season got going!

Just because he didn't play up to his normal standards it doesn't mean he played like s***. If you want to blame somebody for golden states failed season, look no further than the asshole draymond green, who was suspended for a total of 25 games. I get where klay was coming from. They signed green( who got kicked out of the finals game and suspended for another and cost them a championship) for 4 years $100 million. I do agree with you. He left this team early last season.

Then he started complaining to refs (which he never did for 11 yrs) started publicly arguing with his coaching staff, started ignoring his teammates on the bench because he wasn't starting then the icing on the cake was when he wouldn't even shake Steph's hand. The Warriors offered him 2 yrs 50 million while the Mavs offered him 3 yrs 48 million. At some point, he'll humble himself once again and realize his ego is what shifted his career, not the people you worked with for 13 years.

    Klay hasn't been the humble low maintenance player he was in his prime ever since the injuries. They did more damage to him mentally than physically. He never accepted what happened regardless of what he said. How he acted on the court and in the locker room showed he was and is a broken man. It's a sad thing to see but objectively the team is much better with with him gone. He stood in the way JP and was a key reason that the development of the younger players has been so disjointed. It's a failing on the team that he was never held accountable for his toxic behaviour these last few years despite Donkey getting all the headlines for his equally toxic behaviour.
    He had an opportunity post injury to change his game and approach but he didn't take it and he and the team suffered the consequences. I feel bad for Mavs fans if they think he is going to solve any of their problems.

    Question? Will Golden State stay relevant without Klays "sharpshooting and defensive prowsess?" Say what?? This isn't 2018. While Klay's 2023 season was hopeful shooting wise (leading the league in 3s, 301), the defense wasn't there anymore. It's true, Klay's defense was legit pre-injury. But, post-injury his defense imploded and his ego exploded. You could see it with him feeling slighted about not making the 75th anniversary team, and it just became a personal vendetta against the league to show "he was deserving." Personally, I think he was, but I am biased. But, he was out to show he was a complete offensive player, firing away at will from all positions, trying to put the ball on the floor, become a player maker, all sorts of things that just weren't his game. It's only as he has started to fade, do I see what Klay really was -- one of the top two elite 3-D players of all time (Scotty Pippen being the other) -- with Klay leaning more Offense, while Pippen leaning defense. Klay doesn't really rebound (somehow Steph averages more?!?), he doesn't play make. He just hits spot up three (very efficiently in his peak), and defend (again, pre-injury). Today he is just a shell of that. *BAD* defense (not even average!), and about average 3-point shooting efficiency (I think last time I looked it up, he was about 75th in the NBA on 3-point shooting percentage). He literally shot Golden State out of games last season. Mix in his toxic attitude, it was time for him to go. Just like the previous season with JP, I was happy to see the breakup. It was time. They were both hurting more than they were helping. Klay is still "good" at basketball -- at the right price, but Dallas is gonna find out, it's probably at a value less than what they paid. Today, Klay is just a role player off the bench.

    What really happened is the same thing that happened to Poole. He got jealous of Steph and wanted to show he is just as good. But steph just keeps getting better as all his contemporaries decline naturally.

    It's the nature of the business. Father time is still undefeated as all dynasties comes and goes. You cannot sustain that level of success for an extended period of time. It has happened time and time again. The Kobe-Shaq Lakers, the MJ-led Bulls, Magic-Kareem Lakers, and the Big 3 of Larry, Kevin, and Robert all crumbled after they aged and left. Kobe-Shaq should of lasted longer but their rivalry dismantled their partnership prematurely. The age of dynasties might be over thanks to the new CBA. Boston Celtics might have a chance if they win a couple more days the next 3-5 years. We shall see tho.

      Klay had to recover from a devastating injury so I guess why he’s a bit fell off

    Am routing for clay he is a guy that wears it truth he is not the same player in terms of what he did in the past so by organization I agree too they should be doing what's best for them bt bt e was the second option I think he needed to be the third option so Dallas will suit him better.
