Stephen Curry talks about Klay Thompson

Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson are the “Splash Brothers” of the NBA. They have played for 13 years together for the Golden State Warriors. The duo has won 4 championships and has had countless memorable moments together. However, Thompson finally decided to leave the Warriors and join the Dallas Mavericks. This left everyone in shock including his teammate, Stephen Curry.

During an interview, Curry sat down with Yahoo Sports and talked about Klay Thompson not being his teammate anymore. He was still not able to process Thompson’s absence. Curry also acknowledged that the move became necessary as Thompson was not enjoying the game as he used to before. 

Not having Klay still hasn’t really sunk in... We’ve been doing it for 13 years together… I have this idea that in October I know that’s not happening.

Thompson was the second-highest scorer for the Warriors last season, averaging 17.9 points per game. He was productive but not as much as he was during his prime. After the injuries, Thompson’s game had slowed down but still, he was a great asset to the team. Now, Thompson could be a great fit for the Dallas Mavericks and their star Luka Doncic.

Stephen Curry shares an emotional message for Klay Thompson

Klay Thompson leaving the Golden State Warriors and joining the Dallas Mavericks is a sight no one thought would happen. While both Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry have championships together, it will be different for both superstars to adapt to the new scenarios.

Following Thompson’s departure from the Warriors, Curry shared an emotional post and his tribute to Thompson. He expressed his love and gratitude towards Thompson and even acknowledged the journey they had together.

This message shows the special bond they shared not just as teammates but as friends. The duo will also go down as one of the best to ever play the game of basketball. They created a revolution with their 3-point shooting and elevated the Warriors to unprecedented heights.

Even though Thompson has left the Warriors, the impact he has made in the Bay will never be forgotten. As Thompson starts his new journey with Dallas, the legacy and friendship with his Splash Brother will always be remembered.
