Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson hilariously trolled Dillon Brooks of the Memphis Grizzles on Saturday.

In the final moments of the Grizzlies’ 133-119  win over Golden State, Thompson savagely flashed four fingers towards Brooks and the rest of Memphis’ bench to remind them that their little regular season victory over them meant nothing in comparison to what he’s accomplished in the league.

Some may think that Thompson was being a sore loser, but I think he was just humbling the young and boisterous Grizzlies.

The kiss-the-rings taunt will forever be undefeated and Thompson knows it.

After the game, Brooks spoke about Thompson flashing his fingers at him and his teammates and said, “he’s got four rings. That’s all he was saying. It’s motivation to us. We want a ring as well.”

Brooks chalked up Thompson’s trolling as “friendly trash talk” but then hilariously claimed that he owns “a lot of real estate over there in San Francisco” during his post-game press conference.

Thompson responded to Brooks’ comments by getting brutally honest about his feelings towards him in interview with The Commercial Appeal.

“I don’t care about Dillon Brooks,” Thompson said. “When he retires, I don’t think anyone will ever talk about Dillon Brooks ever again. I promise you. It’s sweet right now, but wait 10 years.”

The back and forth is entertaining to say the least, but Thompson is speaking nothing but facts. When the Warriors dynasty finally ends, Thompson will be recognized as one of the greatest three-point shooters to ever play the game. He should be a shoo-in for the Hall of Fame for how well he shoots the ball. The influence he and Stephen Curry have had on the sport due to their long-range shooting will be felt long after they retire. (RELATED: Dillon Brooks Fined $35,000 After Shoving Camera Person. Is He The Dirtiest Player In The League?)

On the flip-side, you have to wonder what Brooks’ basketball legacy will look like decades from now. As of right now, Brooks will go down in NBA history as a dirty player and not much else other than that. There’s nothing special about Brooks’ game. He’s an at best average shooter who plays morbid defense.

I like how Brooks is fearless and committed to the Grizzlies, but he’s done next to nothing during his time in the NBA so far other than ruffling some feathers and wearing incredibly horrible outfits.

Until Brooks becomes an NBA champion, I don’t think he has the right to trash talk anybody from the Golden State Warriors, never mind Klay freaking Thompson.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
