It didn’t take very long for the legendary Golden State Warriors trio of Steph Curry, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson to start taunting one another in their first-ever NBA game where the three weren’t all teammates.

Thompson's former Golden State colleagues have sent him a video greeting ahead of his first meeting with them as an opponent.

Klay Thompson had an emotional reaction to the Golden State Warriors’ tribute video prior to his Dallas Mavericks introduction during his return to Chase Center.

There are two big expectations for Klay Thompson’s first game facing the Golden State Warriors as an opponent: It is going to be an emotional night, and Draymond Green is going to give Thompson a hard foul at some point.

Klay Thompson had a unique perspective as he watched Stephen Curry’s impressive finish for the Golden State Warriors in their NBA game against the Dallas Mavericks. Klay Thompson‘s return to Chase Center as a member of the Dallas Mavericks was a special moment in the NBA.
