No one perhaps embodied the Golden State Warriors' 2022 run more than Klay Thompson. The Splash Brother has been out of action since 2019, owing to a string of major lower leg injuries. When he did return to action, fans were doubtful about whether he could still be successful on the court.

Well, Thompson proved that he could still be a pivotal player on the grandest stage of them all. The Warriors star has been crucial to their Finals run, which culminated in a Game 6 victory on the road against the Boston Celtics. It's no wonder, then, that Thompson was emotional following their win. (via NBC Sports)

Thompson has been very vocal about how much he struggled physically and mentally during his rehabilitation process. The Warriors star initally suffered an ACL tear during their 2019 Finals loss to the Toronto Raptors. During his rehab process, Thompson would then tear his Achilles, setting him back even further.

Just being able to play in an NBA game would've been an achievement for the Warriors star. However, in true Klay fashion, Thompson proved he could still ball at a high level in the playoffs. He was incredibly pivotal during their Finals campaign, with his signature shooting and defense saving the team at times during the run.

Now, the best possible outcome has come true for Klay Thompson. Here's hoping that the Warriors star could continue to perform at this level after this incredible Finals run for him. For now, though, Thompson and the Dubs can rest easy and revel in their incredible run to the top of the league.
