Klay Thompson Sends Touching Message to Warriors Teammate Stephen Curry

• Klay Thompson has sent a heartfelt to his Golden State Warriors teammate Stephen Curry
• Thompson said he has always admired Curry and will cherish the times they played together
• The two Warriors guards are regarded as the greatest shooters in the history of basketball

Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson are one of the best backcourts in NBA history.

The Golden State Warriors veterans have played alongside each other in the league for over a decade. After they beat the Sacramento Kings in Game 4 of the opening round of the playoffs, Thompson sent a beautiful message to Curry.

The Splash Brothers have played 12 full seasons together in the NBA. Most of that time has brought great success and some agony. They have won four NBA titles and a plethora of individual awards.

Their partnership in the Bay Area, moreover, completely transformed the way basketball was played. Most teams have copied their blueprint in the last few seasons.

However, the shooting of Curry and Thompson is what separates them from other NBA players, per NBC Sports. This season alone, they combined for 574 three-pointers in the regular season. Thompson led the league with 301, while Curry was third with 273 despite playing just 56 NBA games.

The duo are looking to win their 5th NBA title this season.

Thompson has proven many people wrong. He came back from two career-threatening injuries after missing two full seasons.

Thompson's message to Curry

The Warriors narrowly won Game 4 by 126 to 125 and survived a late game-winning attempt by Harrison Barnes to even the series 2-2.

Thompson was full of praise for his teammate after the slim win.

"I've admired Steph long before he was a Warrior... I just appreciate his hard work. I get to see it every day. The guy is in the best shape for a reason, he doesn't take shortcuts, and he's a great family man."

Thompson also described Curry as wise beyond his years and claimed his teammate had been the same age since 2012.

"He's a simple person but he's a competitor. Just to still be out here playing in playoff games with him. These times, I'll cherish for the rest of my life. Hopefully, we can carve out a legacy as one of the better backcourts to ever play this game," he added, via Fadeaway World.

Curry is averaging 31.5 points in the playoffs, while Thompson is posting 20.3 points. The big question now is whether the Warriors can win title number five this season.
