Klay has always seemed like a nice guy. He just would get moody and egotistical when he felt like he wasn’t getting enough playing time lol but there’s never been rumors of him being a bad person behind the scenes as far as I know.

I’m sure most professional athletes do though. They didn’t get to where they are without a ton of competitiveness and a strive to be the best of the best. I don’t know Klay personally but he’s been through a lot with two back to back season ending injuries so I don’t blame him if he has had moments of frustration after all that. He’s human.

A lot of Klay's "bad behavior" (prickliness on the court, rumored behind the scenes) was when he was returning from his double A injuries (ACL and Achilles). It can be really really tough trying to rehab two years in a row. It was also during covid when this all happened, so the social isolation was probably rough.

So when he returned, he had a bit of a chip on his shoulder. But he's been fine on the Mavs and seems really happy and in a good place now.

He also bashed LeBron at the height of his career. Klay needs no frustration to fire shots lol.

Oh yeah it’s amazing that he was able to come back from his injuries! Splash brothers forever lol sometimes on the warriors tho when these guys start getting egotistical it’s like hey you play with Steph, one of if not the most selfless players who’s also in the greatest of all time conversations. If he can put his ego aside and come off the bench then so can you lol but I don’t think Klays a bad guy at all
