The NBA matchup between the Golden State Warriors and Dallas Mavericks marked Klay Thompson‘s return to Chase Center, but it also highlighted the enduring bond between Thompson and his former teammate, Draymond Green.

The duo of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, alongside Green, formed one of the most dominant trios in NBA history. Together, they won four championships and revolutionized the game with their dynamic and efficient style of play.

Even though Thompson now plays for a rival team, Draymond Green has made it clear that their friendship remains as strong as ever. “You ever try to keep in touch with Klay?” Green asked reporters after the NBA Cup showdown, per The Athletic’s Anthony Slater. “It’s very one-sided. The love is there. The relationship is there.”
