The Golden State Warriors were able to come back strong this year.
So strong, in fact, that they won the NBA Finals and are now once again champions of the league.
Some people didn’t think it would happen: Steph Curry was having too many rough patches, Klay Thompson wasn’t playing like his old self, the West was too crowded and strong.
They proved them wrong, didn’t they?
Klay went on IG live for 30 seconds to speak on the so-called “experts” on TV 🤣

Thompson took some time away from his summer break to address those people who doubted him and his team.
Hopping on Instagram Live, Thompson let them have it:
“Anyone who has the ‘expert’ under the TV analysis of their respective sport but never really did the damn thing, you can’t trust them. You can’t trust their opinion, you can’t trust their expertise because they literally said we were dead in the water. And what do we do? Win the championship. So how did it feel? I know it hurt them, I know it hurt them bad.”
Thompson is surely happy with how his team performed – and how he rallied back from injury – but he will have haters and doubters next year too.
Thompson’s Comeback
Last season was a huge one for Thompson because he had missed a lot of basketball.
He was sidelined from the game he loves so much for several years because of injury, surgery, and recovery.
But that all changed at the beginning of the year when Thompson was finally able to play again.
It took him some time to shake off the rust – some days he wasn’t even back to his old self – but he was soon a very important part of the Warriors again.
And now he’s ready to keep proving the doubters wrong, even though they will be louder than ever next season.
