#and the day after that and forever until the end of time#i mean oh my God#make the playoffs in ur rookie season and get bounced by the dynasty spurs#make the playoffs again in ur sophmore yr and get bounced in 1st round by the lob city clippers#win the chip and go 73-9 the following season and lead a historic and highly improbable record setting 3-1 comeback against the team that#took out those same spurs only to have the same fate befall you at the hands the same team you had beaten in the finals the year before#get within 3 games of the elusive three-peat only to lose your mvp#and then be sacrificed yourself#and then lose your point guard. your north star#and then lose your other leg#make it out of the tunnel and to the top of the mountain only to lose in your eponymous 'game 6' the next year#in your birthplace#to That Guy. Again.#stay barely above water for another barely tolerable year only to face a win or go home duel against the team you singlehandedly demolished#with 37 points in 9 and a half minutes nearly a decade ago#opt for a fresh start with a young hopeful western title defending team and an opportunity to get back to the top of that mountain#only to be thrown into a pit of snakes and watch your teammates (once again) fall down one after the other like dominoes#but nevertheless keep your faith in them and believe things will get better#even if you have absolutely not an inkling of a reason to do so. in fact especially then.#the end.#nba#klay thompson#dallas mavericks#nik's rambles#sorry guys
