Kevin Durant Sends Message to Klay Thompson

New Dallas Mavericks point guard Klay Thompson sent a lengthy and heartfelt message to the Golden State Warriors and their fans on Friday. One of the greatest players in franchise history, Thompson spent 13 years in Golden State, winning four championships and breaking several records. While this is a sad end for Thompson in Golden State, he will always be remembered as one of the greatest players the organization has ever seen.

A centerpiece of all four Golden State titles in that era, Thompson has had some of the biggest moments in each of those runs. That included the 2017 and 2018 titles with Kevin Durant, who shared a message for Thompson under his Instagram post:

Durant won Finals MVP with the Warriors in 2017 and 2018, but he certainly couldn’t have done it without the backcourt of Klay Thompson and Steph Curry. Many believe that the Warriors teams with Durant are the most dominant in league history, and it’s certainly hard to argue with that.

Thompson will have his jersey in the rafters at Chase Center once he retires, but for now, he’s saying goodbye to the only organization he’s known throughout his NBA career. Dallas should be a good fit for Thompson, but it will be strange to see him play for a team other than the Warriors.
