The Warriors Are Thankful For: Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson
A team on the rise, the Warriors have a lot to be thankful for. Out of all their good fortune, the Warriors should be most thankful for their backcourt, affectionately named “The Splash Brothers.”
Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry provide the Warriors with two of the most exciting scorers in the NBA, making them one of the more popular draws in the league, as evidenced by their sixth-best ranking in home attendance last year.
The versatility and explosiveness of the duo has also made the transition to first-year head coach Steve Kerr seamless, especially with Kerr’s frenetic style of offense. With both players under the age 27, the Warriors will continue to cash out and benefit from these two for several years.
