The players of the Golden State Warriors are true real-life warriors in every sense of the word. Take for example Klay Thompson, who played through the pain of an injury to help his team eliminate the Cleveland Cavaliers in just four games in the NBA Finals.
In their post-victory presser though, Thompson did get called out by fellow Warrior Andre Iguodala after slightly exaggerating the former's commitment to the cause.
At the one-minute mark of the video below, Thompson is asked by a reporter about how his ankle was feeling. This is in reference to the injury sustained by the 28-year-old in Game 1 after J.R. Smith fell awkwardly on his leg after a steal attempt.
This gave the Warriors a bit of a scare as Thompson was diagnosed with a high ankle sprain and was in danger of missing the remainder of the NBA Finals. Being the soldier that he is, Klay battled on, and he did not let the injury hold him back.
However, when Thompson said that not even a broken leg would have prevented him from playing, teammate Andre Iguodala could not help but react to the 6-foot-7 shooting guard's overstated remarks. After all, it would be physically impossible to take the court with a broken leg.
Thompson doubled down on his statement, making the scenario even more comical.
Here is the full video of the post-game press conference which also stars Draymond Green and Finals MVP Kevin Durant.
