Warriors star Draymond Green and his former teammate Klay Thompson will be friends for life, even after the sharpshooter left Golden State for the Dallas Mavericks.

Green never has been one to hold anything back on the court, and it will be no different when he faces his ex-teammate of 12 seasons for the first time on Nov. 12, when the Mavericks visit Chase Center.
It will be an interesting night for both Thompson and the Warriors after the Splash Brother signed a three-year, $50 million contract with the Mavericks in NBA free agency, leaving the only team he has known for a fresh start in Dallas.
