Before leaving the Golden State Warriors to join the Dallas Mavericks in free agency this past summer, veteran shooting guard Klay Thompson told his longtime teammates Stephen Curry and Draymond Green not to fight on his behalf for Warriors' management to bring him back.
While Green honored Thompson's request, Curry told ESPN's Ohm Youngmisuk that it wasn't easy for him to let his Splash Brother go so easily.
"Put it this way," Curry said. "He can ask. But I don't got to listen."
Thompson, Curry and Green won four NBA championships during their time together in Golden State, tying them with Hall of Famers Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker for the most title wins by an All-NBA trio over the past 50 years.
