That speech was so heart-felt, congratulations Klay!

[Hienieken]

Klay is just the most chill guy in sports. He is a historically great shooter who seems content to play second fiddle to the greatest shooter God has ever created. It takes a different mindset and humility to be able to do that. I loved his message to Vanessa and the girls. His parents should be very proud of the young man they’ve raised.

I mean, I’m a Celtics fan but you can’t not like this guy. Bravo and glad to see you back young man. A true NBA champion and future hall of famer

My mother passed last February 2021 from a long fight against cancer. Klay was her favorite. I know she watched every single minute of this championship season. Her watching Klay's return from wherever she is now I swear I could hear her giddy laugh in her Jamaican accent "Go Klay baby!"

[vishranthsiva]

My goodness what a beautiful speech! Klay is an icon! Had me all emotional hearing him speak about Kobe.

[apschhokar]

I definitely feel that injury has given Klay a lot more perspective in life. He has become more emotionally mature and humble. More power to him.

[Malitubee]

Couldn’t have picked a better nominee! Klay is so humble

[rafaelaragao]

Well deserved Klay, one of the greatest shooter in NBA history what a journey.

Kobe will with so many ppl heart forever. Mamba will never die on or mind.

As a Warriors fan since 1989, Klay Thompson is a true Warrior! For him to shout out his teammates, Kobe, AND Kobe’s Wife and kids…C’mon man! You can’t hate on Klay!

When the camera pointed at Draymond. You can see how Draymond was so focused when Klay started giving his speech. They all knew how deep it was. Congrats Klay!

[kneecage]

Great example of a speech from the heart and not from a pr adviser. That’s how you know it: he’s almost just mumbling names but very heartfelt.

[Beloh]

He will forever be one of my all time favorite players. Nobody will do what he's done.

[richardsong]

Klay! you play under no one's shadow my guy. The Warriors wouldn't have achieved any of this without you. Look no further than your team last year. You are a legend and so happy for your rehab and success. What a tremendous player. Love from LA!

[raylin]

One of most inspirational players of modern basketball. You just cannot hate on this man right here!

[megajackwackstyles]

What a class act you cant help but cheer for the guy .👍

[annerikc]

Whenever he mentions Steph and dray, it's so emotional for me. Been seeing them together for so long!! I wish they can stay together and retire as a warrior. Imagine having a friend like Klay !

[damianpriest]

Congrats Klay! Well deserved. Now let’s get #5

[walkinglegendsent]

The best brother/sidekick in History Klay said the Shadow that #30 cast comes with jewelry I mean Class all the way Straight Class let's Go DUBS! Congrats to Capt Klay
Only player in NBA in my life time that I actually shed a tear or two when he went down, if u don't like the Splash Bros and thier loyalty to eachother then you don't like team sports!

[arvinaguila]

Klay definitely deserve it coming back from two major injuries and winning a championship
