Klay Thompson will always be remembered as a Golden State Warrior. Perhaps Dallas Lets Him Rewrite the Narrative of the last two years he feels went wrong, but a decade is not how most of us will remember Thompson. He will be remembered as one of the greatest shooters the sport has ever seen, a strong defender (pre-injuries) and a four-time champion with the most laid-back attitudes.
He will always be loved in the Bay Area and he will always love those fans and that city. He said this in a moving farewell to the city on Instagram.
“Oh Bay Area, there are not enough words and pictures to convey how I truly feel about you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for the best moments of my life. It has been an honor to put on this Dubs Shirt since day one. I really just I wanted to be the best I could and help bring as many championships as possible to the region…
“Don’t be sad it’s over, be glad it happened. Until we meet again. Sea captain out.”
Thompson’s former teammate Kevin Durant called him the “god of the Bay Area.”
As necessary as it is for him personally, and as much as it might be good for Dallas on the court, it will still be strange to see Klay Thompson in another jersey next season.
