The Golden State Warriors have advanced to the Western Conference Finals after a gap of two years. And after a mediocre showing so far, Klay Thompson finally showed up and delivered in the all-important Game 6. He also kept his tradition alive of balling out in Game 6 of any playoff series. But unfortunately, he also knocked down an old man, and he didn’t bother helping him back up.
The Warriors came into game 6 after an embarrassing loss in Memphis. They knew that this was their best chance to clinch the series. And they were hyped and were pumped from the get-go. The Warriors came out to the court with huge aplomb but there was someone in between.

Stephen Curry avoided him but right behind him was Klay, who just couldn’t get out of the way quickly. He bumped into him which caused the old man to fall to the ground. He did not stop to pick him up, but he did apologize for his actions. It was Jordan Poole, who was behind Klay, who eventually picked him up.
