As Steve Kerr said, one day there will be a statue of Klay Thompson outside the Chase Center – he’s a franchise icon.
Tonight he returns to the Bay Area in a Mavericks jersey for the first time, facing the Warriors. Thompson will be showered with love from Warriors fans with a pregame video, and he will have the opportunity to address those fans.
Before it all started, the Warriors players and coaches put this video together as a reminder of how much they love and respect him as a person — and a reminder that they’re trying to beat him.
It’s going to be quite the night inside Chase Center — and it should be quite the game with two of the top 10 teams in net rating in the league going up against each other (and it’s also an NBA Cup game).
