- My Wish: Joseph Tagaban, a 15-year-old from the tiny town of Petersburg, Alaska, learned in December of 2020 that he had a rare form of cancer, acute myeloid leukemia. After enduring treatments that sent him to Seattle for the appropriate care, he wished to meet with newly-crowned NBA champion Klay Thompson of the Golden State Warriors. Chris Connelly reports.

That's why we love Klay. It's so great that the child's wish got fulfilled.
I was rooting for clay to get finals mvp. It be a great thing to see one day.
@@gozer825 he could have won the magic trophy when they kicked kd and okc back then. As for fmvp, if iggy had one, he's got a chance too
For real
Klay is my favorite Warrior, so happy for the young fellow , he deserves it 💕🥰
@@gozer825 yeah, would love to see Klay take over a series, warriors big 3 getting older but still seem to have enough fuel to be good for quite a bit longer
Wow. To gift an autographed photo of Kobe that meant something to him as a teenager himself.... I'm awed by Klay's generosity.
Klay is a gift!
Yea that was so touching, it made me tear up, that what a huge gift😩
Being a Dad this hit hard. Klay giving his time to be with Joseph is wonderful. Klay is such a great human.
Sure did hit hard I couldn’t imagine bro
Thank you!
& he gave him an autograph picture of Kobe , such a sweet guy .. Hope the young boy stays healthy & strong
Huge respect to klay such a humble guy.
can he really say no?
@@Deathz991 Have a point there
@@Deathz991 did klay have to give him his kobe autographed treasure? no, he didn't.
klay didn't have to take him for a ride in the whip.
klay didn't have to take the kid out for ice cream.
klay saw this opportunity and did MORE than he had to.
@@robertshields8218 exactly... And I'm sure Klay had to say yes for the make a wish to happen in the first place...
@@liquidator13 yeah the point is, Deathz is insinuating that Klay was forced to play nice.
How do we know if Klay felt pressure or was totally down for the cause? we dont. Insinuating that Klay only did it because he HAD to is pointless and does nothing for everyone. especially if the person insinuating it hasn't done anything comparable in their whole life.
dang. Got me crying early in the morning😭 Klay is a real one for this. So sweet.
Right
so heartwarming and needed right now
@@mikeleeFILMS absolutely ♥️
Me too bro. Klay’s the best
So humbling experience with Klay! Such a sweet soul!
That is why i love golden state warriors..because of this superstar humble players! God bless bro.
Klay, Steph, & Kobe. My Top Humble 3 of this Gen.💯👏
Klay is where he is today due to his extreme self confidence in his ablity whilst maintaining the utmost humility. An amazing basketball player but even a better person.
Prayers up to Joseph🙏🏾
You put beautiful words! Thanks for praying for my son Joseph!
@@jetagaban7904 ❤️❤️
Years ago I was diagnosed with ALL type of blood cancer and I was placed in a room with another kid but he had the AML type of blood cancer. We got to know each other and he was able to fight through it and is now in remission. I hope this kid stays healthy and Klay is awesome for making him smile after tough years.
Thank you! I Thanks God you’re healthy now!
I’m a cancer survivor of 6 years now. Active and thriving. Prayers and wishing Joseph and Klay, good health. I grew up in the bay, and have been a warriors fan for 40 years. Klay is such an exemplary person, and half of the best shooting guards duo of all time. Humble, authentic and just, the coolest dude. What a legend! Go warriors!
Stay strong 🙏🏿
But i am very glad that you are a cancer survivor Sir. God bless you always and stay healthy Sir.
@@uncledrewyt thank you so much! I have the best oncologist and am now, fit again, surfing, running, cycling, etc. A huge part of recovery is eating healthy and a good support system of family n friends. And encouragement from people like you
@@videomania6227 thank you so much. Appreciate you
Thank you for sharing. I don’t know you but I’m happy for your current wellbeing! God bless you!
I’m not an emotional person rarely cry. This video brought tears to my eyes. Tears of happiness tears of sadness. Klay is also my favorite SG. I love that he picked Klay
Best choice for sure! Thank you.
That's awesome of Klay to make time for this kid like that. Something he'll never forget
An experience of a lifetime! So wonderful!
Literally wiping tears from my eyes. You’re a class act Klay! My prayers go out for the young man and his family.
Thank you for your prayers!
Yep me too😢… 🙏🏾
Love this. Just wholesome he didn’t have to give him that Kobe autograph. He just did. That’s awesome thanks for being awesome klay.
Joseph was surprised!
keep fighting, Joseph! you're a good kid who'll do great in the future.
props to Klay, a great basketball player and an even better person outside the court.
Thank you!
@@jetagaban7904 is that your son?
@@Benny-zs7kr yes he is my son.
@@jetagaban7904 is he doing ok and what date did he actually meet klay?
@@Benny-zs7kr He’s good in spirit! Unfortunately his checkup this week showed relapse so going into therapy again for the second time. We appreciate all the prayers!
Priceless!!! Joseph will never forget. The Kobe gift🔥 Klay you are a real one💙 Joseph prayers for healing and great days ahead😌
Thank you for your prayers! ❤️
Klay is such a gentle soul, what a blessing
Nah, mad respect to Klay. Even more respect to that warrior surviving Cancer tho 🙏
This is the reason why the whole world loves Klay
Let's go Hero.Klay!!! You're the best dude!!! Go Warriors!!! From Alaska to California DubNation stand up!!!
Let’s go!
WOW! So happy for the kid, not because he met Klay - it's a bonus - but he survived cancer. F cancer. BTW, a typical Klay's choice of vehicle. You would think he'd own a Ferrarri.
Thank you!
That signed Kobe picture - that was so special man!
Klay thompson is truly one of the best
Huge W for Klay On and Off the court!
This is heart-warming. Two goats❤️❤️🙏🏾wish the best for Joseph
Klay is awesome, how can you not like him!
I was expecting Klay to be awesome and down to earth , but then he gave his own Kobe photo and that was just something else. How is humanly possible to hate this guy?!
That's the first Filipinos 🇵🇭 I know that lives in Alaska. I mean, we are pretty much everywhere in the world. But that's the first I've seen Filipinos in Alaska. That's nice of Klay. He's easily the most humble Warrior. Quiet, weird but likeable.
There are quite a few filipinos here. Thank you!
I already knew Klay was an awesome person. Much much more respect after watching this.
Can't imagine the pain they're going through. Hope he becomes well and mad RESPECT to Klay for making his wish come true!
Thank you.
Klay is so humble😎
Klay such a good dude
That’s awesome ,spread kindness 💙💛
Klay just has that warm feeling. Probably gets it from his parents. Good people the Thompsons
He is an awesome human.
How can you don’t love this man, way to go champ, keep spreading love.
I love you Klay. What a wonderful gift for this young man
This is the reason I’m a Klay’s fan , such a humble and awesome human being
Man that signed Kobe photograph was everything
This guy is one of the best people on earth, and it's no mistake that all of his warrior teammates are the same quality of human being. Steph and Draymond are both awesome people as well, and the culture of the Warriors all starts and ends with Steve Kerr
They are the best group of guys on one team I've ever seen, kind of funny how in an interview Steve Kerr said the culture of the organization begins and ends with Steph because of his personality and humble spirit and that's why they not only choose players who fit with them talent wise they also need to have Steph-like traits about them, that says so much about their franchise🙌🏽
Klay a legend foreal 💯
God bless you Klay for being a wonderful person
THIS KID GOT MY DREAM
Not sure who's more blessed, Klay or Joseph. Always a gift to connect with special people that make us feel good. Give thanks.🙏
Warriors legend Klay Thompson
You rock Klay, a great soul. 👍
Alaska is a magical place, I was lucky to be born and raised. Thank you Klay for showing love.
Much Respext to you Klay! Greetings from the 🇵🇭
this is why he's my idol..much love and respect for you mah man..
Wow …. That’s all I can say . Beautiful thing man . Look at klay
Klay is just the perfect Role model, and just perfect human! Bruh he came to Acorn housing project and handed out Christmas present two years ago he didn’t even record it 💯
This was beautiful and this is why the Bay Area loves Klay Thompson. Go Warriors (especially the warriors fighting cancer)!
This dude is amazing on and off the court. I love how he was so relaxed, like he was with a relative. And guess what... he will be better next year. Good luck rest of the league
Klay is so pure! not only gold blooded but heart of gold
That’s so amazing what Klay did for that kid. This is why I love Steph and Klay so much they are so humble, kind, genuine and generous❤️
Joseph is a Warrior. Will always be a Warrior. Can’t imagine how much he and his family had to dig deep. During the dark times. Glad he is healthy. What an awesome day for him.
Thank you for the nice words!
Strength in numbers!!!
On and off the court, Klay is magic! Whatta guy!
Beautiful kid raised by a beautiful family.
Way to show up, Klay! He just wanted to meet you, but he was told by you that he had a beautiful and clean jumper. He'll never forget this!
That’s his highlight of the meet up is to play and learn from his idol!
🙏🏿🥹❤️❤️ just amazing to see that young man went from fighting for his life dealing with chemotherapy to shooting drills with his Klay
God has full of surprises! Klay is one of them!
I love Klay for taking the time out to spend with Joseph who is also a great person, This made tears come to my eyes which is not easy to do. Thank you Klay and Joseph, sending prayers your way.
Thank you so much! Blessings to you!
I cried watching this. I wish peace, blessings and good health to Joseph and his family. My cousin succumbed to leukemia before she could go to high school. She was gifted Beyonce concert tickets. I took her. We didn't meet Beyonce, but it was a great night, nonetheless. She grinned ear to ear listening to "Irreplaceable." It's awesome that Joseph got to meet Klay and Klay give Joseph the Kobe-autographed photo. That's huge! Klay loved Kobe. Klay's dad and fellow NBA champion, Mychal, said Klay really wanted to talk to Kobe during his rehab, but sadly couldn't. It's great that Klay could inspire Joseph. Amazing memories for that young man!
Sorry for your loss and pain--I'm sure she lives on in your love and is at peace now.
So sorry for your cousin! This is a horrible disease! Thank you so much for your awesome words here. It means a lot to my family!
Amazing piece. We need more of this in our world. Klay just gifted this kid with a priceless experience that will last him for the rest of his life. SPECIAL.
To gift something like that away is something else. Huge respect to Klay that’s amazing
Nothing but respect for Klay. The autographed photo of Kobe is priceless and such an uplifting gesture. I hope you get better Joseph. My brother was also getting treated in Seattle last year. Keep your head up man!
To anyone in this thread who is dealing with cancer or has a loved one dealing with cancer I wish you all happiness, good health and more time spent with your loved ones.
Thank you!
@@jetagaban7904 You're welcome 🙂
Dude, Klay is so chill yet so important to this world and he moves like he’s and ordinary guy walking the street.
The fact that Klay can take the time out his day to spend time with Joseph is probably the most beautiful thing i have seen in a long time.
Ditto! We surpassed our expectations! Such a gift!
look at klay man, so inspirational
My eyes started watering as soon as Dad described the call he got. As a parent I can't imagine going through something like that with a kid. But I'm so glad he survived and that he got to meet Klay. I'll wipe my nose and dry my eyes now.
Thank you! No child should ever has to go through this!
Klay has always made Dub Nation proud on the court and off the court. God bless.
At the beginning, 0:35 that girl #33 on the other team is a hero too. He stole the ball from her and she still stopped, picked up his glasses, and ran him down to give him his glasses back so he could make the game winning shot on her! Lol
Pure Gold Blood guy. Thanks Klay
Klay a real stand up dude! Goodluck to Joseph, wish him continued good health.
Thank you!
Klay Thompson…pure shooter, pure heart ❤️
I can’t agree more!
@@jetagaban7904 I wanted to say more but I chose to say just few words. With your reply and noting your name, I want you to know that my heart cries for Joseph and family (I assume you are one). I lost my son to cancer and I was the primary hospice care giver.
Keep hope alive and trust in Him who gives and takes away but come what may, it’s for the good of those who love Him. (Romans 8:28)
@@1Dising2u so sorry! Praying for healing of your son’s passing!
@@jetagaban7904 Accepting the righteousness of God is healing.
Sadly Joseph cancer came back a week after this highlight event in his life! Unfortunately he wasn’t able to go back home to tell his friends about Klay because he was admitted in Seattle Children’s hospital and began the treatment right away. The second journey of his relapse was way harder than the first. He had a brain hemorrhage after the chemotherapy treatment was finished. He had to learn how to walk again and his vision was affected. To date he can’t play basketball yet because of his stability due to a double vision from the brain injury. Nonetheless he is managing his basketball team.
Almost impossible to hate Klay in & outside the court.I pray 🙏 for more success in his life!!
RESPECT KLAY!!!!!!!!!!
LOVE KLAY GOD BLESS HIM
Klay A11 Day! What a truly excellent human being. Joseph couldn’t have asked for a better person to spend time with.
Klay Thompson, you're a class act, and a "beautiful" human being. In and out of sports, you are an inspiration. Keep up the good work, and more power to you!
Man what a guy. The car ride for me was the point I realised he just wanted to get to know Joseph. That's character right there.
Big ups and respect to klay
The young man is a bucket already! Salute to the young man and everyone that plays a part in his life to make things like this happen.
Thank you for the beautiful comments! Blessings to you!
@@jetagaban7904 ty, blessings to you as well!
klay is such a beautiful soul
Good for klay to do this. Very genuine soul man I gotta say
Klay you are the man. Keep being you.
Shout out to Klay. An awesome human being
This is why KLAY is my favorite humble dude stays out the way and will shoot lights out
That’s special. Very special ❤️
Klay’s humbleness is not for the cameras, you can tell this guy is genuine whether any media is watching or not
Klay is a class act. His incredible kindness and generosity is an inspiration. I wish his young friend all positive thoughts. 😊
Bros living my dream congrats to him for making it through though
A big man with a big heart, amazing!
Klay has always been my favorite warrior and player. I love the guy just for his personality
I would’ve just broke down crying if okay woulda gave me that photo. We must protect Klay at all costs
Yeah he got that at age 15 and the picture in perfect condition. He willing to give it to another 15 year old. He gave his idol picture to the one that see him as a idol. I was surprised and also smile
Look at Klay man.. so inspirational
Even though these stars know they’re on camera for these kind of situations Klay still comes off as genuine. Happy to see Joseph experience that.
Very natural there! The whole time was very casual and real!
That’s really cool when you can make a kids day just with your presence
I love you Klay Thompson!! 🐐
Klay Thompson Is A Class Act What A Wonderful Thing He Did!
ESPN made my cry twice today. the people calling in on Greeny's show and what Klay did. Cancer took a beautiful you lady from this world that made everyone smile. I knew she was special when I met her but I didn't know that she would have a place in my heart forever. I only got to spend a couple of years with her but it felt like a lifetime. If you are reading this and have a loved one with cancer, please give them a hug for me and my sweet Audrey. I love you all
So happy for Joseph! Klay you are a great guy
Thank you
