Steph Curry took a trip down memory lane on Monday while commemorating his and Klay Thompson’s 11 seasons as Warriors teammates following the news of Thompson’s three-year, $50 million deal with the Mavericks.
Taking to his Instagram Stories, Curry — who won four titles alongside Thompson — reminisced over the past decade and the dynasty they helped build with Golden State.

“Even though we won’t finish the journey together, what we did will never be done again,” Curry wrote. “Couldn’t have imagined a better run with you and [center Draymond Green].
“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 and Thompson earned the joint moniker “Splash Brothers” because of their shooting prowess as one of the savviest backcourt duos in NBA history.
The term was derived from a post on X in December 2012, written by Brian Witt, then a digital content producer for the team.
As part of a marketing directive to promote their star players for All-Star voting at the time, Witt came up with “Splash Brothers” to campaign for Curry and Thompson.
The idea came from his childhood poster of Mark McGwire and Jose Canseco sitting on top of a police car while holding giant wooden bats that read, “The Bash Brothers,” Witt told The Athletic.

The term “splash” is common in basketball for a shot made around the perimeter.
Curry and Thompson made history in the Warriors’ 124-120 win against the Nets at Chase Center on Dec. 16, 2023.
Curry, who is the NBA’s all-time leader in made three-pointers, became the first player in league history to reach 3,500 career threes.
In the same game, Thompson passed Jason Terry (2,282) for ninth on the all-time three-pointers list.
Thompson — the 11th overall pick by the Warriors in the 2011 NBA Draft — will take his talents to Dallas to team up with Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving in pursuit of a fifth championship.
The Warriors helped facilitate the move with a sign-and-trade that involved the Hornets.

His father, Mychal Thompson, said his decision came down to the Mavericks and the Lakers — and that he was disappointed his son didn’t choose the latter.
“I’m not feeling too much in a congratulatory mood right now,” Mychal said during an appearance on SiriusXM NBA Radio Tuesday morning. “Obviously, it’s Klay’s decision. It’s his life.
“He’s a grown man. … I was really disappointed. I was hoping, hoping, as you can assess, that he would be a Laker.”
Mychal played for the Lakers from 1987-91, winning two NBA championships in L.A. He currently works as a radio analyst for the organization.
The Warriors released a statement Monday night saying they will retire Thompson’s No. 11 jersey.
