Klay Thompson Used Favorite Warriors Moment to Roast Andre Iguodala

The legend of Klay Thompson continues to grow.

During his career with the Warriors, Thompson has had many moments -- from on-court heroics to off-court humor -- that have made him a hero in the Bay Area.

Most people love China Klay Thompson. His New York City scaffolding interview always will be the stuff of legend. There was his incredible answer to a question about Kevin Durant becoming a member of the Splash Brothers after KD tore his Achilles in Game 5 of the NBA Finals against the Toronto Raptors.

No matter the moment, Klay never seems to disappoint.

In his upcoming book "The Sixth Man," Andre Iguodala shared a previously untold Klay story that is sure to become a fan favorite.  The Warriors, as Iguodala tells it, were going around discussing moments in a game where they felt highest, when Klay delivered a masterpiece.

Via Time Magazine:

"When Klay's turn came, we all assumed he was going to say that his highest moment was the day he scored 37 points in a quarter against Sacramento," Iguodala writes. "I mean, that was an NBA record! But he didn't. Instead he said, ‘My best moment was one night I caught a pass and I was like fifty feet from the basket and I was about to shoot it. And all of a sudden, I hear Andre being like, ‘What the f--k, Klay? You're fifty feet out.' And I thought about it for a second and shot it anyway. It went in, and I was like, ‘Yeah, Andre, f--k you.' We all had a good laugh about that. I was like, ‘Wow, really dog? That was your best moment?'"

Never change, Klay.

As for his on-court heroics, Thompson's exploits are well-documented. From his season-saving Game 6 against the Oklahoma City Thunder in the 2016 Western Conference finals to making two free throws on a torn ACL in Game of the 2018 NBA Finals, Thompson has done it all for the Dubs. 

After tearing his ACL in Game 6 against the Raptors, Thompson told head coach Steve Kerr he just needed a two-minute rest and he'd be back in the game, which shows how dedicated he was to his teammates and their quest for a three-peat.

Thompson will be a free agent this offseason, but all signs point to him signing a max contract to stay with the Warriors. He'll likely be out until at least February/March while rehabbing his left knee, but there's no reason to think he won't be the same Klay when he steps back onto the court.
