Klay Thompson takes on Stephen Curry in shoes
Former teammates Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry reunited on the floor at Christmas as Dallas Mavericks he visited Golden State Warriors at the Chase Center.
Thompson is back in his old stomping groundsand Curry made sure to make it extra memorable. The two-time MVP led the Warriors to a 126-116 victory while wearing Thompson’s signature shoes.
That was the last instance of the 37-year-old Another brand sports curry since parting ways with Under Armour. But more importantly, it was a cool tribute to the 35-year-old Thompson, who helped the Warriors win four championships.
In the locker room after the game, the sweet-shooting veteran acknowledged Curry a thoughtful gesture.
“It was great. Really great. I wish he hadn’t won them, but it was great. Respect,” Thompson said in a video posted by Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News.

He finished with seven points, two rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block, while Curry had 23 points, three rebounds and four assists.
They guarded each other several times during the match, which caused excitement in the crowd. It was clear Thompson was still a favorite in the Bay Area even after joining the Mavericks in 2024. He received a standing ovation when he entered the contest in the first quarter.
Cooper Flagg led the Mavericks with 27 points, six rebounds and five assists. Anthony Davis left the game in the second quarter with groin cramps. He played only 11 minutes.
Thompson returned after missing Tuesday’s game against the Denver Nuggets with knee soreness.
