The “Splash Bros” era for the Golden State Warriors officially came to an end this Monday, as Klay Thompson agreed to a three-year, $50 million contract with the Dallas Mavericks. For the first time in his illustrious career, he won’t be teammates with Steph Curry.
On Tuesday, Curry finally addressed Thompson’s departure. As you’d expect, he’s a bit emotional about losing his longtime teammate to another franchise.
Instead of being extremely sad about Thompson moving on from the Warriors, Curry has decided to be grateful for the time they had together. After all, it was an epic run in the Bay Area.
“Gonna miss you @klaythompson,” Curry wrote. “Even though we won’t finish the journey together, what we did will never be done again. Couldn’t have imagined a better run with you and @money23green. Changed the whole Bay Area. Changed the way the game is played. Killa Klay at the center of it all. Thank you for everything bro. Go enjoy playing basketball and doing what you do. Splash Bros 4 life my guy.”
Curry also shared several photos of him and Thompson on his Instagram Story.

While the individual numbers that Curry and Thompson compiled on the Warriors will be in the history books forever, what truly matters is that they won four championships together.
We’ll see if either Curry or Thompson could capture their fifth title next season.
