After 13 seasons, Klay Thompson bid farewell to the Bay Area and the Golden State Warriors. In a touching social media post, the 34-year-old shooting guard expressed his gratitude for the city, the organization, and the friendships he made. Recognized for his role in winning four NBA championships and five All-Star selections, Thompson and Stephen Curry formed the legendary “Splash Brothers” duo. The Warriors reciprocated the sentiment by announcing their intention to retire Thompson's No. 11 jersey. With Thompson's move to the Dallas Mavericks, Buddy Hield is set to join the Warriors in a sign-and-trade deal, providing a scoring boost in Thompson's absence. As Thompson embarks on a new chapter in Dallas, his impact and legacy in the Bay Area will be cherished and remembered for years to come.
