Steph Curry has bid a heartfelt farewell to his longtime teammate Klay Thompson, who has reportedly signed a new deal with the Dallas Mavericks. The move marks the end of an era for the iconic Splash Brothers duo.
On Monday, Curry took to his Instagram Stories, sharing a series of nostalgic photos featuring himself, Thompson, and Draymond Green. Alongside the images, Curry penned a heartfelt tribute to Thompson, celebrating their shared achievements and the profound impact they had on the game of basketball.
“Gonna miss you @klaythompson. Even though we won’t finish the journey together, what we did will never be done again. Couldn’t have imagined a better run with you and @money23green.
Changed the whole Bay Area. Changed the way the game is played. Killa Klay at the center of it all. Thank you for everything bro. Go enjoy playing basketball and doing what you do.”
Thompson’s new three-year, $50 million contract with the Mavericks officially concludes the 11-year run of one of the most formidable backcourts in NBA history.
Together, Curry, Thompson, and Green were instrumental in leading the Golden State Warriors to four NBA championships between 2015 and 2022, revolutionizing the game with their exceptional shooting and teamwork.
As Thompson embarks on this new chapter with the Mavericks, fans will undoubtedly remember the indelible mark he and Curry left on the Warriors and the sport itself.
The legacy of the Splash Brothers will continue to inspire future generations of basketball players and fans alike.
