“Game 6 Klay is still Game 6 Klay,” Green said on The Draymond Green Show after the Warriors closed out Memphis in six games. Like in his head, he’s like, ‘it's Game 6, of course, I’m going to do this, are you crazy?’... And he believes Game 6 Klay is a real thing, and guess what, if Killa Klay believes it, then I believe it.” Thompson was selected with the No. 11 pick by the Warriors in 2011, and since has built a Hall of Fame career.

Real Klay weighs in on Fake Klay getting banned from Chase (SFGate)

During his pre-Game 6 media availability, the Warriors' Klay Thompson weighed in on Fake Klay Thompson getting banned from Chase Center for life.

Gurley, who looks like the version of Klay Thompson you'd come up with if you tried to draw his face from memory with your eyes closed, has been a fixture during the Warriors last three NBA title runs, shown up to everything from Finals games to ring ceremonies. But the 29-year-old Gurley, who mostly does hidden camera pranks that range from kind of funny to extremely cringe, likely won't be portraying Fake Klay in San Francisco again anytime soon thanks to a confirmation from the Warriors Tuesday that the ban was in fact real. Real Klay Thompson weighed in on Fake Klay Thompson's escapades for the first time on Wednesday — two days after Fake Klay (aka YouTube prankster Dawson Gurley) was banned for life from Chase Center after walking past five layers of security guards before Game 5 in San Francisco and shooting around on the court "for 10 minutes."

In the aftermath of the “Fake Klay Thompson” incident before Game 5 of the NBA Finals in San Francisco, we now have video confirmation of Dawson Gurley ...

Hopefully, the security guard from the beginning of the video isn’t the person taking all the blame. There’s even a third person sitting at a checkpoint spot of the arena that Gurley casually strolls past with his camera crew. Once Gurley walks through the metal detectors past the first level of security, he passes a man to his right dressed in what looks like a security guard uniform, and the man barely glances at him.

Odell Beckham Jr. Is Rooting For Klay Thompson To Win The Finals ... (Fadeaway World)

Klay Thompson is back in the Finals with the Golden State Warriors, and there's no doubt that it must be a good feeling for him. Thompson has missed two.

Odell Beckham Jr. has now torn his ACL twice in his career, and it is easy to see why he would be inspired by Klay Thompson, who has had two serious injuries in consecutive years. Thompson has missed two seasons in a row with injuries, and watching him play on the highest stage with his team while performing well is spectacular to watch. Every minute of pain and suffering was all for this.

"Holy cannoli," Klay Thompson said reflecting on the Warriors winning another NBA title following his arduous journey back from injury.

I knew (winning the title) was a possibility, but to see it in real time ... holy cannoli!" Reflecting on his arduous journey from missing 2½ seasons to injury to winning a fourth title, Thompson said: "I'm just thankful to be here man. On Thursday, the Golden State Warriors won the 2022 NBA Finals with a 103-90 victory over the Boston Celtics in Game 6.

A chill Klay Thompson hopes to fire up 'Game 6 Klay' one more time (The Washington Post)

BOSTON — The greatest playoff performance of Klay Thompson's career inspired a mythical nickname that follows the Golden State Warriors guard to this day.

Buckner: The Celtics should be on their way to the title. Kerr also credited a pair of three-pointers by Thompson in the third quarter as the “biggest shots” of Game 5 because they stunted Boston’s momentum. Obviously, the OKC game is the one at the top of the list. Reminded of Thompson’s lofty predictions during the Western Conference finals, Stephen Curry said the Warriors “would love to make him a prophet.” That Thompson, 32, is playing more than 37 minutes per game in the Finals should be viewed as a stunning development, even if he isn’t surprised in the slightest. After shooting 10 for 33 from the field in the first two games against Boston, Thompson has started to find his stride, scoring 21 points and hitting five three-pointers in Monday’s Game 5 win.

One of which he singled out in his post-game presser after the Golden State Warriors won their fourth title of the Klay-Steph-Drayomond-Andre era.
