Stephen Curry would not have won any NBA Championship with the Golden State Warriors if he didn’t have a teammate like Klay Thompson. The Splash Brothers changed the history of the club, making them one of the most successful franchises in the league of all time. Albeit, it will take a lot of time for the Dub Nation to match the same success level of the Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics. But the third most successful franchise is the team from the Bay Area, thanks to the ‘Splash Bros.’ Thompson joined Curry at the Dubs roster in 2011. Since then, they have been revolutionizing the game with their consistent and accurate three-pointers.
Eventually, they did change the game forever, and it will be very hard for the teams in the future to match the same impact of the Curry-Thompson duo. After all, the Splash Brothers have won four NBA titles in a span of eight years. The way the game has been evolving, it seems very hard for teams in the future to do something similar to that. Anyway, this offseason, the biggest shock came when Klay Thompson decided to part ways with the Dubs. Only time will tell how Curry will lead the team next season without his ‘Splash Bro.”
Stephen Curry Knows A Tough Challenge Is Ahead Without Klay Thompson In The Bay Area
Next year, Klay Thompson will enter his first NBA season when he is not a part of the Dubs. It will be weird but exciting to see the veteran shooting guard play against his old team and splash brother. The Dallas Mavericks made the NBA Finals in the 2023-2024 season. Last season, the Warriors lost in the play-in tournament to the Sacramento Kings. In the ongoing offseason, the Mavs signed Klay on a three-year deal worth $50 million. Thompson has been looking for a fresh start and is happy to join the Dallas side. Recently, in an interview with People, Stephen Curry told Natasha Dye that the departure of his ‘Splash Bro’ will have a strong impact on him and the team, too. He said, “It will be a challenge for the squad moving forward.”
But the greatest shooter in the league is embracing the fact that people are counting the Warriors out of the title contention. Stephen Curry told Dye that he loves the fact that some fans think that the Dubs can’t keep the pace with some teams who are their favorites in the Western Conference. Moreover, the greatest shooter said that he loves the challenge of getting into the training camp and working hard to create his own success. Curry said, “That really gets me going.” Moreover, the recent Olympic Gold medal winner said that he is looking forward to channel that energy (and experience of the Summer Games) throughout the season.
The Splash Brothers Meet For The First Time Since Emotional Breakup
Recently, during the game between Liberty and Aces, there was some iconic faces in the courtside. After an emotional rollercoaster of the breakup phase, Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry met finally. They may had some private visits but it was certainly their first meeting in public. Moreover, it was hilarous!
Stephen Curry seemed to take offense to the fact that Thompson’s new Mavericks teammate Dereck Lively II accompanied him. The most outrageous and funny reaction of Steph when Klay Thompson introduced Lively II to him was, “Ew, ew, ew!” It is unbelievable for the Dub Nation that Thompson was introducing his new pal cum teammate to his ‘Splash Brother.’
