The NBA's three-point era was ushered in by Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry as the best killing backcourt ever.
It's the end of an era in Golden State.
Klay Thompson is gone. After agreeing to a three-year,$ 50 million deal with the Warriors on Monday, the camera aircraft who won four finals with the Soldiers and ushered in the NBA's three-point trend with Stephen Curry is today a part of the Dallas Mavericks.
On Tuesday, Curry delivered a message on Instagram to his partner of 13 times.
" Gonna miss you", Curry wrote. " Even though we wo n't finish the journey together, what we did will never be done again. Could n't have imagined a better run with you and]Draymond Green].
" Changed the entire Bay Area. altered the gameplay.
" Killa Klay at the center of it all. Bro, I appreciate anything. Go out and do what you do while playing sports.
" Burst Bros 4 living my guy."
He'll do it in a less effective capacity than his Northern Conference rival.
Thompson won five All-Star games in Golden State's move. He has n't been the same since he's been injured in back-to-back seasons, losing most of a third of his in 2019-2020. That he was able to return at all is amazing. The vast majority of professional players ' jobs would be ended by an Achilles tear in addition to an ACL break.
Thompson remained a valuable contributor ( 20.4 ppg, 38.5 % from 3 ) after returning midway through Golden State's run to the 2022 title. Since then, his connection with the company diminished, and Monday's leave was a foregone conclusion. It was just a matter of where he would area.
The Soldiers released their own hymn to Thompson soon after his business to Dallas, announcing his No. 11 shirt may remain retired in San Francisco. That meeting for retirement will have to rush. For then, Thompson and the Soldiers are competitors.
