Stephen Curry reflects on Klay Thompson's departure from the Golden State Warriors
Reflecting on Thompson's departure from the Golden State Warriors, Curry and Thompson, teammates since 2011, raised the bar with their 3-point shooting.
They hold the unique honor of being the only teammates to jointly achieve over 600 3-pointers in a season, accomplishing an impressive tally of 678 in the 2015-16 season. In their 13 seasons together, the pair, known as the "Splash Brothers," claimed four NBA titles.
Curry said, "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 [he'll come back]... I know that's not happening,”
Thompson's departure from the Golden State Warriors was rather unexpected. The situation dramatically escalated when, following his unfollowing the team on Instagram, the discussions between the interested parties did not reach a satisfactory agreement.
