Thompson’s exit from the Golden State Warriors was a huge shock
After 13 years with the Warriors, Klay Thompson‘s move to the Dallas Mavericks marked the end of an era, breaking up his legendary partnership with Stephen Curry.
Together, the duo, known as the ‘Splash Brothers,’ along with Draymond Green, helped define the Warriors’ golden era, drawing comparisons to Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen’s historic bond with the Chicago Bulls.
In the midst of Klay Thompson’s exit, an interview on the Raising Fame podcast shed light on the depth of the bond between Thompson and Curry.
Klay’s father, Mychal Thompson, spoke to Sonya Curry and Lucille O’Neal, revealing how much his son cherished playing alongside Curry.
“He loves playing with Steph. He wants to retire as a Warrior, not anywhere else. He hopes to go into the Hall of Fame with Steph,” Mychal shared with the Raising Fame podcast.
“Even though Klay is moving on, I told him he and Steph still have years of basketball ahead.
Their bond is that strong.”
The revelation surprised many, considering rumors of tension between Thompson and the Warriors had circulated long before his departure.
Hope Remains for Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry’s Hall of Fame Reunion
Although Klay Thompson won’t be retiring as a Warrior, there’s still hope for a reunion with Stephen Curry in the Hall of Fame.
Both players could be inducted as part of the same class, keeping the ‘Splash Brothers’ legacy alive. Despite the separation, Curry made it clear that their bond won’t be easily broken.
When news broke of Klay Thompson‘s departure, two big questions arose: What’s next for the Warriors? And how did Stephen Curry react? Fortunately, fans didn’t have to wait long for answers.
In a July 8th interview with Malika Andrews, Curry expressed his feelings about losing his longtime teammate.
“Having Klay head to Dallas, it’s tough. I never imagined this would be a reality, but I want him to be happy,” Curry shared.
“It won’t really sink in until October when you’re in the Chase Center locker room, and he’s not there.
“He will always be welcome in my life. I hope he feels the same.
Honestly, I get a little teary-eyed about it. He’s just going to be in Dallas for a few years, and we’ll have to kick his a*s. But that’s just the job.”
