The bar is lower than you think. Draymond is likely going in on first ballot too and he's a glue guy.
Even though the bar is set low, these guys aren't exactly first-tier caliber. Both would barely make it into a real Hall of Fame. Klay was solid, but never truly great. He had a lot of big games, so he earns some respect for that, but his career doesn't scream first ballot Hall of Fame material.

Gilbert Arenas brought up a valid point about evaluating players. If you strip away team success, can a player really stand on their own? Klay is only a 5-time All-Star and a 2-time All-NBA, and he’ll likely end his career with less than 20,000 points, even though he’s known as a scorer and shooter. That’s not first ballot or indicative of all-time greatness.

Yall nikkas don’t hoop if you acting like this over players calling each other bums. If I got 19 of our team points and my mark has 18, imma call him a bum. It ain’t that big a deal. It’s just shyt talking.

Dude in a G Wagon cut me off in traffic and called him a bum ass nikka. He obviously not in that Benz but it stands. It’s an insult, doesn’t have to be technically accurate. Goddamn yall socially awkward ass nikkas annoying. Go get some friends.

nikkas in here going all deep over two nikkas talking shyt :dead:
these weak dudes always talk about wanting that energy back, but when somebody does it, you have dudes writing think-pieces and analyzing why said person doesn't deserve the honor of being a dikkhead and picking apart their flaws. nikkas is just full of shyt

this whole smear campaign to blackball him is some wack shyt

71 games played over the last three seasons.
Severe regression in every facet of his game.
Calling out coaching staff during post-game interviews.
Throwing a temper tantrum midgame and quitting on his team after halftime.
Having more prolific side quests unrelated to the game than the main mission.
Claiming to have lost his smile.

Theres absolutely nothing said on thecoli.com by anyone that a front office executive remotely cares about in relation the #2 overall pick of an NBA draft. Ja is blackballing himself.

Ja having a bad season on a team where his time may be coming to an end for sure, he ain’t the first and won’t be the last


But for nikkas to act like one season overrides multiple years of accolades ( Multi-Time All Star, Most Improved, All NBA 2nd team, Rookie of the Year)

And indict him like his career is over and like he not just entering his prime at 26 is crazy….this whole smear campaign to blackball him is some wack shyt

As a grizzlies fan I also gotta put him in the bum category. So I will be smearing as well

Injuries aren’t a personalty or coachability issue breh

He’s not the first nikka to have off the court issues, nikkas in the past were worse

It’s a fair critique to say he hasn’t really added anything to his game or improved tho

nikkas want that old NBA back
They get it and now look at the responses in this thread
Charmin Soft like Klay punk ass
Klay been showing who he really is the last couple of years
shyt the same geek nikkas giving him praise in here
Were saying all kinds of shyt about Klay during GS run
Yall nikkas are big hypocrites
I noticed that years ago
Just be circle jerking and forgetting shyt
I thought the NBA needed dogs and hunger
So which one is it
this has nothing to do with restoring the feeling or creating new rivalries.

Ja is just an immature loser with no self awareness. It would be different if he were actually playing; but he’s writing checks from the bench.

People are giving Klay a pass because he’s a legend who is at the end of his career.
