The Western Conference Finals has been a treasure trove of storylines, but until Saturday night, no one game had lived up to the hype of such a heavyweight battle. That all changed in Game 6, however, as the Warriors stormed back to win an instant classic that set up a mammoth Game 7 on Memorial Day in Oakland. Anyone who gives a crap about the NBA watched the madness unfold, and that includes a lot of NBA players.
We love when the pros are reduced to wide-eyed fans just like us, and judging by their tweets after the final buzzer sounded in Oklahoma CIty, they were just as blown away as we were.
Klay went CRAZY smh…

Jamal Crawford, for his part, might be getting ready for a second career in an analyst’s chair, because he was ready to debate with some folks on Twitter:
Are y'all gonna say Curry hurt or no? To his credit he's said he's fine.. Y'all need to let that go.

And of course, there’s one NBA player who makes no secret of which way his loyalties lie in this series.
