Thompson’s Former Golden State Colleagues Send Heartwarming Video Greeting Ahead of First Meeting as Opponent
It’s not every day that a player gets to face off against their former team for the first time. But for Klay Thompson, that day has finally arrived. The Golden State Warriors’ sharpshooter will be taking on his former teammates for the first time since joining the Brooklyn Nets, and it’s safe to say that emotions are running high.
Thompson, who spent nine seasons with the Warriors, was a key part of their championship-winning dynasty. He formed a formidable trio with Stephen Curry and Draymond Green, and together they dominated the NBA for years. But after suffering a devastating ACL injury in the 2019 NBA Finals, Thompson was forced to sit out the entire 2019-2020 season. And just when he was ready to make his comeback, he suffered another injury, this time to his Achilles, which has kept him out of action for over a year.
But despite the setbacks, Thompson remained positive and focused on his recovery. And now, as he prepares to face his former team, his former colleagues have sent him a heartwarming video greeting to show their support and love for their former teammate.
The video, which was shared on social media, shows Thompson’s former teammates and coaches sending him messages of encouragement and reminiscing about their time together. From Curry’s signature shimmy to Green’s trademark intensity, the video captures the essence of the Warriors’ brotherhood and the bond that was formed between Thompson and his teammates.
In the video, Curry says, “Klay, my brother, what’s good? Just wanted to say what’s up and let you know we’re thinking about you. We miss you, obviously. We know you’re going to come back stronger and better than ever. But it’s going to be weird seeing you on the other side of the court.”
Green, who has always been vocal about his admiration for Thompson, also had a heartfelt message for his former teammate. “What’s up, Klay? It’s your boy, Draymond. Just wanted to send you some love, man. You know I miss you. I miss playing with you. I miss your energy. I miss your smile. I miss your trash talk. I miss everything about you. But I know you’re going to come back better than ever, and I can’t wait to see you on the court.”
Even the Warriors’ head coach, Steve Kerr, had a message for Thompson. “Hey, Klay. It’s Coach Kerr. Just wanted to say we miss you. We’re thinking about you. We can’t wait to see you back on the court. We know you’re going to be better than ever.”
The video also featured messages from other Warriors players, including Andrew Wiggins, Jordan Poole, and Juan Toscano-Anderson, all expressing their excitement to see Thompson back on the court and wishing him the best for his return.
Thompson, who was clearly touched by the video, took to social media to express his gratitude. He wrote, “Thank you to my former teammates, coaches, and the entire Warriors organization for this video. It means the world to me. Can’t wait to see you all on the court.”
The video greeting from Thompson’s former colleagues is a testament to the strong bond and camaraderie that was formed within the Warriors’ organization. It’s clear that Thompson’s impact on the team goes beyond his on-court performance. He was not only a talented player but also a beloved teammate and friend.
As Thompson prepares to face his former team, it’s heartwarming to see the support and love he has received from his former colleagues. It’s a reminder that no matter which team he plays for, Thompson will always be a part of the Warriors family.
Thompson’s return to the court is highly anticipated, not just by Warriors fans, but by the entire NBA community. And as he steps onto the court to face his former team, he will do so with the love and support of his former colleagues behind him.
We can’t wait to see Thompson back in action, doing what he does best – knocking down threes and making his teammates better. And we know that his former colleagues will be cheering him on every step of the way.
