Klay Thompson

Mavs invoke Canon Curry's viral Klay greeting in announcing deal

NBC Universal, Inc. Coach Steve Kerr speaks to the media after Team USA’s practice session Saturday in Las Vegas, and sends a thank you message to Klay Thompson, who is leaving the Golden State Warriors for the Dallas Mavericks in NBA free agency.

The Dallas Mavericks used some Canon Curry inspiration to announce Klay Thompson.

On Saturday, the former Warriors superstar guard was officially unveiled as the Mavericks’ newest player in a social media post that invoked Steph Curry’s son’s “Hello, Klay Thompson!” phrase.

Canon, in efforts to say hi to his father’s Splash Brother, first famously shouted the phrase at Thompson after the Warriors' 123-107 win over the Boston Celtics in December 2022.

After 13 years with Golden State, the 34-year-old will have a new NBA home where he will look to continue to add to his historic NBA career, highlighted by four NBA championships and five All-Star appearances.

Teammates since 2011, Thompson and Curry's playing days came well before Canon's birth in 2018. In total, the Splash Brothers featured in 666 games alongside one another.
