Curry understands why Thompson left the Warriors. But still: ‘It sucks.’
LAS VEGAS — Before Steve Kerr and Stephen Curry could begin their month-long chase for gold at the Paris Olympics, the decorated NBA coach and his two-time MVP guard had to come to terms withCurry and Thompson, dubbed the Splash Brothers as they established themselves as the greatest shooting backcourt in NBA history, won four championships and reached six NBA Finals since teaming up in 2011.
“Going through it all together has been so meaningful and so amazing,” Kerr said. “We’re going to miss Klay. We wish him the best. These things rarely go like you want, where you get to draw it up and execute it and everybody goes out together. We were hoping that could happen, but it didn’t. We wish Klay well. We love him, and we’ll miss him.
“He was in need of a change,” Curry said. “It wasn’t a situation where I felt I needed to try to convince him to stay. He knew exactly what he meant and still means to our organization, to me as his teammate and to Draymond. It’s one of those deals where you have to trust that he’s making the right decision for himself.”
