NBA Fans had a field day after Klay Thompson turned back the clock and lit up the Clippers with a burst that felt straight out of his prime.
The moment hit social media fast when @SportsCenter posted a clip with the caption, “KLAY MADE SIX THREES IN THE 2ND HALF ALONE VS. THE CLIPPERS [fire emoji] VINTAGE KLAY.”

The play-by-play looked like everything people used to expect from him, and NBA Fans jumped in with jokes, praise, and a few digs at the Clippers’ veteran-heavy roster.
One of the posts that stood out came from @toastiwashere, who wrote, “Meg needs to cook this man thanksgiving feast every week.”
NBA Fans loved the energy, tying the comment to Thompson’s sudden burst of confidence.
Another fan, @fourdtough, added, “vs. other old men. lol,” taking a shot at how the Clippers keep signing older players every season.
The game itself gave NBA Fans a mix of nostalgia and relief. Thompson has started the season with ups and downs, but this half reminded people of his ability to swing momentum almost instantly. It isn’t just a good shooting night; it showed how quickly he can catch fire and change the pace when he feels comfortable.
NBA Fans also used the moment to revisit early-season debates about his role and future. Many pointed out that when Thompson finds rhythm, it still creates the same spark it did years ago. The reactions were a blend of humor, support, and the usual back-and-forth that comes whenever a big-name veteran gets a throwback performance.
With NBA Fans filling timelines with highlight edits and punchlines, Thompson’s night became one of those moments where everyone agreed on one thing: vintage Klay still exists, and when he shows up, it becomes the story of the night.

The win mattered, but what really pushed the thread forward was how people reacted to Klay Thompson’s bounce-back performance that came on the same night.
One of the most popular replies came from @Infrared29, who wrote, “this performance proves that we shouldn’t trade klay. yes, yes, i know hes had a rough start to the season, but do we really think a 4 time champion is gonna continue to play this bad? just let him get shots up and we’ll only see good things happen.”
Another high-engagement comment came from @hoopgod32, who posted, “KLAY AND COOP COOKED.”
NBA Fans loved seeing both players step up, especially since the Clippers brought their usual group of veterans who often slow games down. The reactions made it clear that people still trust Thompson’s resume and don’t believe one rough month should erase what he can do when he finds rhythm.
NBA Fans also used the thread to compare the Clippers’ veteran core to younger backcourts around the league, pointing out the difference in pace. Some joked that the Clippers looked stuck while Thompson looked refreshed for the first time this season.
