This man has Bleed for the Dubs, given his Blood, Sweat and Tears for the team. The fact that the fans wore those Captain Hats~ Amazing. thats the first time ive ever seen a former player playing in his former home arena receive THIS type of applause.
@@ChazRossMusic Yes it's emotional. I was heartbroken when Klay left. Happy to see him receiving all this love, respect. I learned to love basketball watching Warriors.
@@I_got_the_keys I'm not a GS fan, but you are tripping if you think they didn't treat him well. He blew out his ACL and they handed him a 4 year max contract without hesitation. They knew in 2019 they were never getting their money's worth from that contract, but they gave it to him for what he already did. Then they offered him a 2 year 44 mil extension. He does not deserve that either based on his current performance. There is a limit to how much a team can pay for past performances.
Klay is always going to be a GSW legend. Nothing can take that away. We loved Iggy and he had a similar kind of reception when he came to the Bay with the Heat. It will always be love for all these players who put their heart, soul, and everything into building the franchise into what it is today.
His return in 2022 coming off from two of the most devastating injuries in basketball and this one are giving me goosebumps. Thank you for everything, Klay! 💙💛
Das my cousin, we here in da BAHAMAS was pleased with the junkanoo jamboree, CLAY & BUDDY❤, WHO SCARED NOW THE SAXONS, VALLEY & ROOTS, but it was ONE FAMILY WARRIORS NITE
That's the way he should be greeted right there, so many memories watching this guy just be a beast, Steph is the best no doubt, but klay did some things that will probably never be done by anybody ever again, 14 3s is almost impossible for anybody to reach, even in today's game where 3s are shot more than 2s, 37 points in a quarter will never be done again, and there will never be another all time shooter that is the best defensive player at his position ever again either, one of a kind talent hall of famer and champion forever, love you captain klay, thank you for all the great memories man.
And the shooting bond him and Steph had. How they messed and they didn’t even speak much to each other the 1st year but was in sync. The way he set records by catching and shooting and we can never forget the Boston play off game where he never gave up! Him and Durant have so much heart and love for the game and their fellow teammates. All of God’s best to Klay Love him, keep going Klay your a winner wherever you are💓🙏🌻
Almost cried watching Klay receive this man he deserves all the love the fans give him. Kenny’s right that’s the biggest ovation since Kobe’s last game
Did anyone else notice those 11s?? He was drafted in 2011. He was the 11th pick. He played 11 seasons in Golden State. He came back to play his 1st game against G.S. in the 11th month of the year. If he had taken 11 shots or had 11 points, I would've been thinking he did a deal with the man downstairs 😂 But seriously, what's up with those 11s??
Shaq is right ... he might have come in with a chip on his shoulder but with a tribute and ovation like that ... I think he just relaxed a bit and said ... this will always be home .
The organization will never be able to make up for disrespecting him, but the fact that his intro was even bigger than when he came back from his injuries is special. Big love to Klay ❤️🤝
@ exactly that’s what I’m saying to play defense the way he did and still be dropping 25+ was amazing. I would put him as 4th or 5th best sg of all time and with the 4 rings that helps.
@@quincyhaynes1107he was always open and not a primary option so I can't really do that. But his absolute prime was robbed with those 2 years gone, so he'd have been greater than he is. Instead of ranking, I appreciate what he did for the Warriors and he should be a 1st ballot HoFer
3:58 Klay really deserved all the flowers and cheers after everything he's done. It's going to be an amazing game for both Klay and for the fans. And not to take away anything from the amazing ovation and all but the best ovation I've seen was Michael Jordan returning to Chicago for the last time as a Wizard. 5 minute standing ovation from the crowd and it could have gone longer if Michael himself didn't speak to the crowd at the end.
Charles is absolutely correct klay needed to prove himself there was quite alot of pressure to prove his worth. Theres no pressure against the fans he knows hes loved, there was huge pressure against the organisation to show everyone he still got it they missing out
Steph, Dray, and Klay were the best trio in all of basketball. They put Golden State on the map and made it the number franchise in the organization. We will, hopefully, never forget that.
@@jackdenihan5333 Kobe would have zero rings without Shaq and Gasol...lets not pretend that individual players win championships. Teams win championships. Individual players can steer the bus, some can propell the bus, and some ride the bus. But not even Jordan is winning championships with 11 bus riders.
Kenny shares a player’s viewpoint that Ernie, understandably cannot comprehend, that after a most loving tribute it can’t help but melt much of any antagonism Klay harbored entering this game.
I am still upset that he is on another team. This guy went out with two major injuries for two years and came back and won a championship and the disrespect the worriors organization showed him was unfair
A chunk of these fans were probably the same ones commenting that he went 0-10 in an elimination game. Great tribute from GSW for Klay! Shame he couldn't be a lifer.
Nahh I’m sure a few of them were upset in the moment but the ones really hating on klay are bandwagon fans that aren’t from the area. If you talk to actual Bay Area people no one is really upset with him. It stings a bit he left for less money but we understand and still love him regardless . He’s a legend out here and we know he’ll retire with us when the time is right. Hopefully him, curry, and dray can all do it together. If that happens THEN you will see the truly greatest standing ovation of all time. I’m talking Beethoven levels!
Jesus you people really amaze me, why tf you have to be soo negative about this? Can’t believe this is the thing you took out of watching this video, please get help
Klay getting his flowers is well earned.
YES!
....flowers?
This man has Bleed for the Dubs, given his Blood, Sweat and Tears for the team.

Man. Makes you emotional, even if you rooted against them for years and years. Salute to a legendary player, team, and Era.
It doesn’t make me emotional I don’t care

Heartless?
Emotional over multimillionaire entertainers? You’re trippin

Yes it's emotional. I was heartbroken when Klay left. Happy to see him receiving all this love, respect. I learned to love basketball watching Warriors.
You a grown man getting emotional over klay Thompson?! 😂😂😂😂
Klay’s 2024 version of “HE’S BAAAAAAAACK!!!”. That got me chills yet again. 😂
fr🥲
this is how you show someone you appreciate them
I’m proud of the Bay tonight. GS is a classy organization. We miss you Klay!
They fake af and slap in the face 😂why they didn't show him love when he was their

TY so much, I didn't know that was his Mom.
@ I can only imagine the immense amount of pride she must have felt in that moment.

Full circle of his great loyalty, successes, hard work, rehabbing, making 2 major comebacks. You're right, one proud, protective Mama.

pure class Golden State
That was a great tribute for Klay much respect gs organization 👏

This is no GS dynasty without Klay. Man had the right to leave whether the fans liked him or not the past couple of seasons.

No matter where he goes Klay will always be a Warrior and have a home in our hearts.
You’ll never be able to tell the story of the NBA without Klay Thompson. Well deserved tribute

Acting like he Steph

THAT'S MY GUY. I'M PROUD OF HIM,AND GLAD TO SEE HIM WITH KY AND LUK....MANY BLESSINGS
Our Splash Brother 😢❤
The Golden State Warriors are a class organization..They gave Klay Nothing but love.
wow...I actually got goose bumps and teared up watching the intro
Very classy. That was amazing
They give LOVE
Idk if people fully understand how legendary this dude is and will be. What a great player.
The Captain Klay what a tribute I've never seen anything like this ....
Shaq is right ... he might have come in with a chip on his shoulder but with a tribute and ovation like that ... I think he just relaxed a bit and said ... this will always be home .
Klay will always remain special to us dubs fan. Nothing will ever change that NOTHING
I love when NBA teams do this for their legends
The organization will never be able to make up for disrespecting him, but the fact that his intro was even bigger than when he came back from his injuries is special. Big love to Klay ❤️🤝
Prime klay was different dude was a beast very underrated if you ask me
Fr. Kinda crazy he only ever made like one all nba defensive 2nd team or something. Bro was always guarding the toughest guards
@ exactly that’s what I’m saying to play defense the way he did and still be dropping 25+ was amazing. I would put him as 4th or 5th best sg of all time and with the 4 rings that helps.
@@quincyhaynes1107 4th is insane. Top 10 for sure but top 5 is a stretch

The Warriors have shown nothing but love and respect for him throughout his journey, especially after everything he’s been through with the injuries.
Klay deserved every bit of that, gave his heart and soul to that team. Literally helped them build a dynasty

This is a franchise You wanna play for!!💯
im happy for klay even thou his not a warrior anymore his is still a goat no doubt.very nice tribute for him by warriors
True True True SHAQ…. ❤ ALWAYS 4 KLAY N the BAY… KLAY AREA!
We are that dynasty because of Klay. Time flies but memories will be here forever. Thank you Game 6 goat
Well done Golden State. You can tell even though Klay moved on he respects you guys for everything you did for him. His eyes told the tale tonight.
Well deserved..class all way around . Gs and klay
You get choked up Ernie? I did! Respect to the Captain
Charles is absolutely correct klay needed to prove himself there was quite alot of pressure to prove his worth. Theres no pressure against the fans he knows hes loved, there was huge pressure against the organisation to show everyone he still got it they missing out
He deserve it .. classy move by the fans and the Warriors for doing this for Klay
Well deserved one of the original Splash Brothers #11 Captain Klay Thompson . First Class tribute from a First Class Organization GSW.
What a group of classy people. Appreciating a former team member.
This was such a good and classy move from the Bay ♥️♥️. Respect. Well deserved Klay❤️
THAT'S LOVE!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💯

Capn hats are fire
Cool to see a player and a city not have a bad breakup.
That was a very nice way to spend Klay's contract money.
Yeah…receiving an ink pen for retirement aft help’n bring 2 billion in his expressions says it all…!.!
This is beautiful man❤❤
Klay is Millennial Pippen.
Klay is a warriors legend forever
Legend and a top 75 all time.
Golden State would not be golden state without him. Glad they did this for him
We're never gonna get Shaq & Klay arguing about who's 4 rings matter more now 😭🤣
Shaqs did, he drove the bus
Shaq got 1 carried by Wade
@@michaellucas669 shaq would have zero rings without Kobe and Wade , Kobe would definitely still have multiple rings.

Such a great tribute one of the best I have seen.
Biggest ovation in Basketball I've seen❤
Outsiders will never understand what the warriors did to the bay area. We used to be horrible
The best return salute in nba history. Can't wait for his jersey to be retired
That gave me chills! 🏆
That's how you celebrate a former champion. GS has for sure one of greatest fanbase in NBA, maybe the BEST

Awesome tribute they definitely went all out with this well done
They revolutionized the game!
I'm so happy for Klay. i'll still be supporting him no matter what. 🙂
That was niiice!! Klay gonna be out there looking for a pass from Steph after that all that love
Hated to see him go but love that he was honored like this coming home
wow this is so incredibly sweet
Chuck says he’s never seen anyone get that much love before coming back? Uhh…Wizards Jordan in Chicago? He got like a 15 minute standing ovation 😂
maybe Chuck did not see it
@ Doubtful. They were best friends back then. And who wasn’t watching as it was Jordan’s last seasons in the NBA.
that's different tho, mj is the goat, klay was an allstar at best I think that what he means
Kenny agreed and said GSW was the biggest ovation ever 😂 The Bulls switched the arena lights off to stop the standing ovation after bout 20 minutes
@tyrone These guys are high 😂
i never expected to see Klay play against Steph, but here we are
What a classy organisation. The Warriors story is never complete without Klay Thompson. Respect
beautiful man, Legend
Wow to dubnation and organizations huge respect to you🎉
Legend moment right there
LEGEND!!!
over the years I saw what this man can do...Tribute / ovation was not long enough
Nah I’m ngl Klay held it together cos that’s a wholesome return nd u know the whole of Dub Nation wish him the best 👌🏾

My tears keep rolling
Warrior fans are too classy. They would never boo anyone who game them 4 rings.
Bay Area miss you a lot Klay 👏👏👏👏🫡🫡🫡🫡
LOL Shaq doing the oldschool Jim Carey character
Epic!! Young players watch and learn…
At least they did it at the beginning of the game
Kenny: [Shaq, Charles and me] we've never seen a reception like that.
man, that's a lot of hats
Well Earned, Well Deserved
Well Respected, Very Professional
Klay Thompson 🏀🏀
I’m not crying You’re crying!!!😭

He got so much love he aint even know wat to do
Top notch organization
