‘It Wasn’t Klay Thompson. Golden State Just Got Stale’: Now ‘Kookout Klay’ Can Exhale Because Playing With Draymond Green Can Wear On A Brother

When Klay Thompson departed ways with the Golden State Warriors, the only team he’d known in his illustrious NBA career, many believed the end was near for the former half of the “Splash Brothers.” After his record-breaking debut with the Dallas Mavericks, just maybe it was time to depart the Bay Area and do something different. If Thursday’s first game of the NBA season was any indication, it’s quite possible the run in Golden State may have just gone stale.  NBA analysts said Klay Thompson was washed up, but maybe the antics of Draymond Green had killed his spirit. The former Splash Brother hit a record six threes in his Dallas Mavericks debut.
