The Golden State Warriors superstar is kickstarting his campaign for Academy Award consideration for his breakout performance as Klay Thompson in "Space Jam 2" ... saying he's trying to add to his trophy case!!
Now that filming wrapped up ... Klay was joking with the media about launching his official Oscar campaign! It's pretty funny.
“It’s all done ... your boy is going for the Oscar nod,” Thompson joked to NBC Bay Area. “Supporting?! Best animated series!? I don’t know.”
Obviously, Klay ain't got a snowball's chance in hell ... but dude SHOULD be recognized for fighting through the pain of an ACL surgery to be on the set to shoot his scenes.
