  2. What’s in Slater’s tweet was revealed just now on NBA Today with Mallika saying:

    > “The Warriors, they’re billing the night as a salute to Captain Klay Thompson. Fans in attendance will each be given a captain’s hat. It’s a nod to the commutes that Thompson would often make to Chase Center on his 37-foot fishing vessel. The idea is that fans will all take off their hats and extend him a literal salute to the four-time champion.”

    And Windy goes “I mean but this has a Warriors logo on it…” in response to it being done as a gesture for Klay when he’s not a Warrior anymore. 😭

    Also, last week, [95.7 made this big claim](https://x.com/957thegame/status/1851419093263659373?s=46):

    > BREAKING: The Golden State Warriors believe they are set to do the coolest thing that’s EVER been done for a returning player in the history of professional sports when Klay Thompson returns to the Bay Area as a member of the Dallas Mavericks on Nov. 12 👀

    This can’t be what 95.7 is talking about can it…??

  3. That game is circled on the calendar for both teams for sure. No animosity but I’m sure the team wants to show Klay we’re still that team and he left a good thing. And I’m sure Klay is gonna go lights out competing trying to show Buddy Hield can’t replace him.

    Gonna be a fun game.

  16. Love Klay, one of my favorite players to watch. That being said, I think we are better without him. Not sure if that’s a hot take here, but it’s how I feel. His efficiency was bad last year, his athleticism is down, and he just wasn’t happy so that affected him too. I think him leaving was a win/win. Love the man. Hope he balls out all year and helps Dallas beat everyone but the warriors.

  21. The captain Klay hat was originally a SF Giants sailor hat inspired by Brandon Belt when they were calling him the captain.

    Klay started to wear it because his championship hat got blown off during his commute on his boat.

  25. Remember him for the first 11 years not the last two. It will always be weird to see him in another jersey that’s how much of a warrior he was. I can’t wait and I hope we kick his ass lol

  26. That’s awesome. Glad they’re doing it up for Klay’s first game back at Chase. Dude was instrumental to the dynasty. The perfect compliment to Steph and Draymond. 2 great shooters. 2 great defenders. 2 great distributors.

  27. Long time French fan here I’m sending a message in a bottle : if someone sees this, it would mean the world to me if someone could help me get one of these. You have no idea the impact Klay has had on my life and the mark he has left on my heart. I made a promise to myself ten years ago when I was 15 that one day I would go see Steph, Klay, and Draymond play together, but unfortunately, that day never came. So, if you come across this, I’d be more than happy to cover the shipping to France and send you a little something from here. Thank you ❤️

  28. Am I the only one that’s perfectly fine with Klay having an awesome game so long as the Mavs lose? 😂

  32. I like Klay a lot and appreciate everything he’s done for the organization, but I want him and his team to suck 😂

  34. Long time fan from afar but lucky enough to be making the journey to see this as my first dubs game and this has me so hyped!

  36. The Warriors org must be confident Klay actually isn’t holding a personal grudge against them.
