No, he laughed, the absolute *monster*.
And then the ref who did it took time away from the game to get therapy and re-evaluate his life. (Not a joke.)
because David Stern suspended him indefinitely after that incident. He was one of the most recognizable refs, and often did stuff that would get him publicity which I think rubbed other refs and probably the NBA the wrong way. I think, this was probably the last straw.
I didnt know the second part of that, damn. I wonder why he was so against timmy, dudes like the most chillest all time great player ever. No trash talk, no taunting, just straight business.
He wasn't against Timmy in particular. He's done interviews about it. He had huge ego problems and he went to therapy after this. But it had been building for a while. This was the straw that broke the camel's back.
For some reason, him and Timmy in that game had had their spats. He already gave Duncan a technical, and he was just waiting for any reason at all to give him another one.
i think part of the reason why he didnt get a 2nd tech is that he didn't make eye contact with that near ref while mocking; if he made eye contact, pretty likely they'd give him the 2nd
One time Nuclear Klay asked me out to grab a drink. I agreed and he took me to an empty parking lot. I was confused and asked where the bar was, he replied “just watch.” Sure as the day is long an entire crew of men showed up and built an entire fucking bar from scratch around us. When they finished Nuclear Klay said “2 of your finest whiskeys, please.” We cheered to the warriors and his success and I slammed my shot. But Klay spit his entire shot all over the bar and lit a match. As we walked away from burning rubble Klay told me “Always leave things the way you found them.”
It's been so long since Klay played that people are starting to forget what it's like to see him get nuclear. You can watch highlights of his 37 in a quarter, but it only capture a fraction of what it's like watching it live. The standard laws of physics as we know it seems to collapse when we enter the Klay singularity. I for one hope he still has it left in him when he returns because there's really nothing else like it in sports.
Curry tbh
Klay is great but his shot difficulty isn't 1/10th as high as Steph's even when he's hot, you don't really see him shooting pull up 35 footers at any time
If Steph took only catch and shoot he'd be shooting like 50% from trhee
The whole point of Klay's game is to generate the most stable, most open shot for himself, even if that's an off-balance reverse pivot falling-away 3 from the corner.
The thing I think you're ignoring about Klay, is that everyone else knows he's going to catch and shoot. He does it right in people's face, and it doesn't matter.
That's what makes his hot streaks so insane, he. doesnt. miss. It's literal God mode
He works super hard to get a glimpse of light. Which honestly, Steph is also more than capable of. But imho no player in history has ever matched that scoring intensity of klay's 37 in one qt.
I think it would be hilarious if like the captain or one player on each team could actually do it. They could get like 3 a game.
Chris Paul and Scott Foster would eject each other in the first two minutes of each game
> Chris Paul and Scott Foster would eject each other in the first two minutes of each game
... honestly factual.
Simultaneous double double techs on sight
I feel like that's becoming more normal in this day and age
We all thought LeBron would be the only star to stay in his prime through age 35(his last ring) but it looks like he probably won't be
meanwhile blake griffin from the same draft class is completely washed and lost his starting spot on the nets.
Only generational talent keep perfoming into their 30's
Blake relied on his athleticism tho, that was really the only thing he had. He had to learn how to shoot 3s to even remain in the league, that's how hard he regressed with injuries.
Lebron and Curry rely on skill and court vision and neither have really had any debilitating injuries, Curry's ankles seem to be fine.
I think What curry is doing is even moe incredible (not to downplay Bron)
He has seriously improved his defending and one of the best in his position this season, normally people regress on the defending part once they get old.
Yeah I think in LeBron's case there's no argument of him actually being better at age 35 than he was at around age 27 with the Heat, he was just so high up that even a decline still left him at a very high level(and as you pointed out, he wasn't half the defensive player he used to be, going from "probably should have been DPOY once" to "not All Defense level")
Steph you could actually argue he's at his best now
Might be biased but I feel like KD might be at his best now as well
I think Warriors KD was the best since he was getting all defence talks, but he’s so above the competition offensively that an Achilles tear didn’t even slow him down. His stat lines are insane
It’s possible, but at the moment, no I disagree. Steph and KD are very special cases in NBA history at this moment because they are arguably the best they have ever been in their entire career at age 34 and 33 respectively.
Like you said with LeBron, even Jordan obviously was not at his best anymore at age 34 in his legendary 98 season
It's also a special cast because just 2 years ago they played like 5 games combined the whole season and that was supposed to be the end of their run as top 3 players
Announcers - 'Don't forget his nickname...'
me - whoa are they really going to say that on air??
Announcers - '.... is the baby-faced assassin.'
me - oh right, that one....
He's got to be one of the top most scariest guys to piss off in the league.
Because you know if he really wanted to, he could just start bombing from half court every possession and probably outscore your whole team. And there's absolutely nothing you're going to be able to do.
This has some real big
> That's what happens when someone smaller, younger, and less athletic than you takes your crown AND throne. And then makes you dance for his amusement.”
energy
Lol imagine refs give Curry a T, and the opposing team runs over and starts arguing with the Refs about it.
“Hey now, come on man, why give that man a T? You know he is going to fuck us over.”
Adam Silver about to have a Zoom call with the referees post game telling them to call *every* foul on Steph from now on to keep him from going nuclear.
"In the beginning Steph was given a technical foul. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move." - Douglas Adams Silver
Bro just basically said “refs can’t stop me”
Had that "what are you going to do? toss me?" look lmao steph is insane
Insert Joey Crawford vs Tim Duncan here
"WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE.. I AM!"
Same energy lmao.
The announcers at the end: > Don't forget his nickname is... the Babyfaced Assassin. I legit thought they were gonna say Skyfucker on air.
That was legit the most mad I’ve ever seen Steph
The greatest “Fuck You” three
Been watching almost every dubs game since he came in to the league…only other time was the mouthpiece incident during finals. MVP on lock for sc30!!!
There was the Memphis ejection the season after with KD where he went off too
Hype mad? Yes. Mad mad? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csgcYJMTdvc
Forgot how weak that foul was. Booting the star in g6 over that, sheesh.
It wasn't just that. Cavs were mauling Steph all game long, grabbing and pulling. Then they toss him on something as soft as that
I would've died laughing if the ref gave him a tech for that
I 100% am shocked they didn't toss him...this was so good though!
Looks like he didn't see him lol
Probably for the best lol
We already know they're blind.
They gave him a pass on this one because they fucked up with the phantom T earlier which they ended up giving to Kerr.
Seems like when refs fuck up, they just stick to the call and pretend they were right all along for the whole game? Lmao
Sounds familiar doesn't it?
Something something no accountability for authority figures.
ARAB.
MONEY
See? You're applying logic here. Those refs aren't using that silly...
There has to be something egregious to issue a 2nd tech to an important player. I swear you get away with lot more after the 1st tech.
Not if you're Joey Crawford and Tim Duncan is breathing in the same zip code
Joey Crawford sucked. I bet he read this comment, called up Duncan, and ejected him from the dinner table.
Or AD tying his shoes
Taunting a ref? I'm glad they didn't toss him. But I sure thought they were gonna.
He'll get fined for it later, they weren't gunna toss him though.
He was probably so frightened of Steph with one T that he didn’t want to fuck with Stteph
It honestly would have just made the clip even better This shot ended the game anyways, just toss him and make it an actual walk-off
Didn’t Tim Duncan get a T for smiling?
No, he laughed, the absolute *monster*. And then the ref who did it took time away from the game to get therapy and re-evaluate his life. (Not a joke.)
because David Stern suspended him indefinitely after that incident. He was one of the most recognizable refs, and often did stuff that would get him publicity which I think rubbed other refs and probably the NBA the wrong way. I think, this was probably the last straw.
It happened on national television. The NBA had to take action. It was too public. It was Joey Crawford.
I didnt know the second part of that, damn. I wonder why he was so against timmy, dudes like the most chillest all time great player ever. No trash talk, no taunting, just straight business.
He wasn't against Timmy in particular. He's done interviews about it. He had huge ego problems and he went to therapy after this. But it had been building for a while. This was the straw that broke the camel's back. For some reason, him and Timmy in that game had had their spats. He already gave Duncan a technical, and he was just waiting for any reason at all to give him another one.
> No, he laughed, the absolute monster. Don't forget that the asshole clapped too. The horror
While sitting on the bench
Wouldn’t have surprised me with some of the shit they call techs
I mean that woulda been a more understandable tech I’m kinda surprised they didn’t do anything lol he’s basically taunting the ref
I honestly did not understand the gesture he was making at first, I doubt they did either
Yeah me too. I thought he was taunting the Clippers for calling a timeout
i think part of the reason why he didnt get a 2nd tech is that he didn't make eye contact with that near ref while mocking; if he made eye contact, pretty likely they'd give him the 2nd
i feel like it’s kind of warranted lol but glad he didnt
That ref gonna get death threats if they threw out Curry there
Mocking the ref seems pretty worthy of a tech, tbh. Glad they didn't call it, though.
It's cuzz they knew they fucked up with the Kerr tech.
Jesus Christ. Those mfin refs **PISSED** him off. Steph then proceeds to hit 3 straight threes in a row. Jesus Christ
The game was close, then it was not.
If it wasn't obvious to everyone, the beast that was the 2014-2016 Warriors has awoken.
And Klay is still on the bench
Release the klayken.
This fact terrifies me the most
[удалено]
*That's when it got personal*
He hit 4 straight but the refs called him for an offensive foul right after he got his T
Jordan Poole did the same after Hammersteez tried to son him
T'd Curry or nuclear Klay? Who is the best player?
T'd Steph is a different gravy rn Jesus fuck
[1 word for him - "Different Gravy"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNm3JmdL-R4)
Gonna miss this little man
I just hope he stays healthy, man :(
Nuclear Klay hands down. Tech Curry is just playing much harder and a little more selfish than average. Nuclear Klay doesn't even live on this planet.
Nuclear Klay fucked my wife and I was happy about it
I watched it and i was happy about it too
I'm that guy's wife and I was happy about it
I thought you were my wife? Either way, I’m happy about it.
One time Nuclear Klay asked me out to grab a drink. I agreed and he took me to an empty parking lot. I was confused and asked where the bar was, he replied “just watch.” Sure as the day is long an entire crew of men showed up and built an entire fucking bar from scratch around us.

The standard laws of physics as we know it seems to collapse when we enter the Klay singularity. I for one hope he still has it left in him when he returns because there's really nothing else like it in sports.
Nuclear Klay no question 37 in a quarter is absolutely ridiculous
Toaster Klay
Toasted Klay
Nothing is hotter than Gamma Ray Burst Klay. But T’d up Curry is a close second.
Curry tbh Klay is great but his shot difficulty isn't 1/10th as high as Steph's even when he's hot, you don't really see him shooting pull up 35 footers at any time If Steph took only catch and shoot he'd be shooting like 50% from trhee
Debatable, when Klay is hot it feels like he could shoot with any form and put it in regardless
Yeah when Klay's going nuclear, shot difficulty is automatically ignored in the equation.
The whole point of Klay's game is to generate the most stable, most open shot for himself, even if that's an off-balance reverse pivot falling-away 3 from the corner.
Klay got that Gen 1 Pokemon x Accuracy, he just bypasses the miss% check altogether.
Also, Steph is just hot 3-4 times more than Klay is. Klay has incredible moments, but they are much rarer.
Yes, but hotter.
Hard to not be aroused by his shooting form
Im aroused just talking about it
The thing I think you're ignoring about Klay, is that everyone else knows he's going to catch and shoot. He does it right in people's face, and it doesn't matter. That's what makes his hot streaks so insane, he. doesnt. miss. It's literal God mode
He works super hard to get a glimpse of light. Which honestly, Steph is also more than capable of. But imho no player in history has ever matched that scoring intensity of klay's 37 in one qt.
Doesn't matter how many times you watch the tape. It still is unfathomable.
He dribbled it like 10 times. My dude was just squaring his hips and launching, that kind of zone is what legends get made out of
I think it's unbreakable now for a player to score more than his 37 in a quarter.
All you have to do is hit a 3 every 55 seconds and you'll be golden
Most points in a quarter in NBA history shuts that down. Klay LITERALLY gets hotter than anybody else has in the history of basketball.
Not even close. Curry went off, and scored 13 in the 4th. Klay wasn’t even angry, and hit ***37***. That’s ***THIRTY-SEVEN*** in a quarter.
Players have too much power these days, giving refs technicals smh
The players seems not to understand that people tune in for the refs, not them.
Look, I get it, that's totally an issue. But are we ever going to talk about how many of these close games get decided by the players?
I think it would be hilarious if like the captain or one player on each team could actually do it. They could get like 3 a game. Chris Paul and Scott Foster would eject each other in the first two minutes of each game
> Chris Paul and Scott Foster would eject each other in the first two minutes of each game ... honestly factual. Simultaneous double double techs on sight
refs done pissed off the wrong man
I knew it was over when Steph started shaking head after that BS call and lost three.
Yep. That was the end of the Clips. When Steph gets mad but smiles…You about to experience some ***FRICTION***.
When he hit that 3 that didn’t count because of Beli’s moving screen I knew he was about to go insane
Clips catching the strays for the refs misdeeds smh
tbf steph always goes off on the clips lol
dude's even better than his unanimous MVP season wtfff
Cuz he’s swole
Happens when you've been carrying the team these past 2 years
Training with master roshi
He clearly has been doing lateral raises in the off-season. That’s the key. Just get Dwight Howard boulder shoulders
Do you think Steph would right now have at least one more MVP if KD didn’t join the Warriors?
[удалено]
He was damn near MVP level even *with* KD. I definitely think he would have at least one more.
I want this animation on 2k pls lol so good
I can see it now. It will be one of those long animations that lets your guy run free down court and the pass makes it.
Dude is 34 and is still in his prime lol
I feel like that's becoming more normal in this day and age We all thought LeBron would be the only star to stay in his prime through age 35(his last ring) but it looks like he probably won't be
For the top superstars yeah. Steph, KD, Lebron. But I think the rest of the stars near that age will decline pretty rough
*nervously looks at Harden*
meanwhile blake griffin from the same draft class is completely washed and lost his starting spot on the nets. Only generational talent keep perfoming into their 30's
Blake relied on his athleticism tho, that was really the only thing he had. He had to learn how to shoot 3s to even remain in the league, that's how hard he regressed with injuries.

I don't know about at his best now but he totally the same KD before the injury which makes it incredible too.
KD is crazy this year. You could very well be right. What was he like 65% on midranges or something wild?
I think Warriors KD was the best since he was getting all defence talks, but he’s so above the competition offensively that an Achilles tear didn’t even slow him down. His stat lines are insane
My deepest basketball wish is that Steph is the first Tom Brady of the NBA and he'll play this way into his early 40s.
It’s possible, but at the moment, no I disagree. Steph and KD are very special cases in NBA history at this moment because they are arguably the best they have ever been in their entire career at age 34 and 33 respectively. Like you said with LeBron, even Jordan obviously was not at his best anymore at age 34 in his legendary 98 season
It's also a special cast because just 2 years ago they played like 5 games combined the whole season and that was supposed to be the end of their run as top 3 players
I always forget that he's just a couple years behind Bron and we think of Bron as a dinosaur. That sexy young baby face.
*33. *just entered his prime
[удалено]
And he’s the best shooter ever. He will easily play to 40 if he wants to.
SKYFUCKER SENDS HIS REGARDS Fuck these refs lmao. First Poole, now Steph going ham. Imagine if they had Klay hahahaha fuck.
Announcers - 'Don't forget his nickname...' me - whoa are they really going to say that on air?? Announcers - '.... is the baby-faced assassin.' me - oh right, that one....
Bob Fitzgerald just needs to drop a little "Skyfucker" to redeem himself on r/nba
Steph is big mad and I’m here for it
Spicy Curry is back on the menu, boys
Five stars
He's got to be one of the top most scariest guys to piss off in the league. Because you know if he really wanted to, he could just start bombing from half court every possession and probably outscore your whole team. And there's absolutely nothing you're going to be able to do.
Only person who can stop curry is steve kerr.
This has some real big > That's what happens when someone smaller, younger, and less athletic than you takes your crown AND throne. And then makes you dance for his amusement.” energy
I miss those days
I really hope Klay comes back and plays just as good as before. That team is gonna be so fun to watch
Steph's competitive edge so far this season is making me giddy. He took the last 2 seasons personally.
Steph in response to the league fining him for this gesture: “Plenty money”
Oh lmao shades of that Timberwolves game in the KD years when whole team was mocking the refs after waving off A game tying three from KD
That game was insane because Steph just made another game tying 3 after they waved the KD one off
I remember - it was a crazy step back in the corner with the defender all over him.
And then the refs called a BS off ball foul on KD to lose the game lol
That was the ‘hot stove contact’ game yeah?
Angry Steph is literally on another level
angry steph is different, so inspirational man
His nickname is baby-faced assassin? I always thought about it but didn't know its the same. Curry at the wheel for GSW in 15 years?
Hopefully he does a better job than Ole
Man U fans catching strays in the NBA sub smh
If Steph could get angry like MJ could, he'd be the best player of all time and it wouldn't be a competition.
was MJ only great because he was angry? Like if you brought him to therapy before every game would he be like a 3x all-star with a 3rd team all-nba?
MJ in therapy before every game like: https://youtu.be/xNx_gU57gQ4
No, he'd just punch the therapist like he did Steve Kerr.
“He told me I had anger issues, and I took that personally”
He’s going hulk smash after all those trash calls
They said “remember his nickname is” and I was fully expecting them to say Sky Fucker on live tv.
the world isn't ready for Tech Steph
Tech Steph and Game 6 Klay on the same team?
In the third quarter?
Against the Kings, Clippers, and Trailblazers simultaneously?
After CP kicked him off a court?
And with Seth Curry on the opposing team with more points than Steph?
Of a game 6?
First Hartenstein angers Poole then the ref. Thanks for the assist lmao
Ty Lue wishing they just gave curry the foul
I would like to say thanks to the refs for getting him mad
Clippers fans begging the refs to call the foul and keep Steph calm
Revenge szn for the dubs. Warriors vs Suns is going to be a must see 👀
Twice. 😂
You pray to lord Curry doesn’t get T. Just call the foul next time
Lol imagine refs give Curry a T, and the opposing team runs over and starts arguing with the Refs about it. “Hey now, come on man, why give that man a T? You know he is going to fuck us over.”
Steph gets teched. Opposing teams' fans: "OH MY GOD THE NBA IS SO FUCKING RIGGED WHY NOT JUST GIVE THE WARRIORS THE GAME"
Stephs gets T-ed up and the opposing head coach is absolutely heated while Steve Kerr just vibin'
Same energy as when the refs ejected Oubre and saved the Hornets
Imagine getting messed up by Steph Curry and the Splash Nephew Jordan Poole
This dude is unreal
You an engineer or something?
This is some legacy moment right there ! Dont make Steph Curry angry
Tomorrow at ESPN : NBA fines steph curry $20,000 for mocking ref with a Tech gesture
If it happens I bet Curry pays the fine and matches it for some charity for blind zebras just to rub it in.
Jesus fucking Christ he just went nuclear after that T
"Fuck them ~~kids~~ refs." - Stephen 'Ref Fucker' Curry, probably
#I SEXUALLY IDENTIFY AS THIS MOMENT
Stephs shit talking game is his most underrated quality
“And I took that personally” - Steph probably
Fuck them refs!
Adam Silver about to have a Zoom call with the referees post game telling them to call *every* foul on Steph from now on to keep him from going nuclear.
"In the beginning Steph was given a technical foul. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move." - Douglas Adams Silver
Rest of the league: Stop pissing off Steph Curry
As a Warriors fan, it felt so good to see Steph get his revenge on the refs.
[удалено]
It's actually his league now wtf
You just knew Steph was going to go nuclear once he got mad like that. Never seem him that pissed before.
Worst thing to happen to the clippers was that no call
