Warriors star Steph Curry pays tribute to Klay Thompson on his IG story which features 30 photos of them in their 13 seasons together 🙏
"Gonna miss you Klay Thompson.
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 Draymond Green. 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.
Splash Bros 4 life my guy."
"This is on Christmas Day [of this season] ... I get off the elevator and I see Klay [and say], 'Klay, what's up? Hey man, keep your mentals right.' He's like, 'Man, tell 'em to pay me my money.' ... He has a right to be mad."
- Richard Jefferson 😳
"Eat your greens and get proper sleep nightly and you will make the NBA one day thru hard work and perseverance 🫡"
Klay Thompson COMPLETELY shuts down a fan in the IG comments talking about his 0-of-10 shooting in the Warriors play-in loss to the Kings ☠️
GAME 6 KLAY 💦
8 years ago today, Thompson dropped 41 points and knocked down a then NBA playoff record 11 THREES vs. the OKC Thunder to help the Warriors force a Game 7 ♨️
19 of his 41 points came in the 4th quarter!
Draymond Green: “I love Luka [Doncic] and Kyrie [Irving], but Steph [Curry] and Klay [Thompson] are the best backcourt ever.”
Reggie Miller: "No, [Stan Van Gundy] didn’t say 'best ever.'”
Charles Barkley: "Yes, he did!” 😅

“Draymond Green’s biggest asset, offensively for [the Warriors] is his ability to get [Steph Curry and Klay Thompson] open and then play in the pocket… And now his IQ kicks in.”
— LeBron James 💯

Matt Hillman: “The Warriors dynasty as we know it over?”
Clyde Frazier: "They’re done, man.”
Jalen Brunson: “I would say yes… If it [were] any other team that obviously didn’t do what they did, they’d be done.”
(via @Roommates__Show)
“Do you ever think you’ll catch Klay [Thompson's] 14 [3-point record in a single game]?”
Steph Curry: “14 is in the cards, but I’m happy that he’s the one that has the record. And I’m chasing nobody else.”
