Klay Thompson Celebrates Career Milestone Alongside Stephen Curry and Draymond Green Amid Grief Over Demised Warriors Coach

The Golden State Warriors were grieving tonight. It had only been days since they lost a dedicated member, Dejan Milojevic. The assistant coach suffered a heart attack when the team was away in Utah. They returned to the Bay to face the Atlanta Hawks, who were without Trae Young.

On the night of remembrance, the Warriors managed to steal a win against the under-manned Hawks. Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson combined for 49 to beat Atlanta by 22. While it was a tough night to play on, there was something positive that came from a win.

The dynasty-setting trio of Klay, Curry, and Draymond Green hit a major milestone. It was a testament to their loyalty not only to the franchise but also to each other. After the emotional night, Thompson, wearing the ‘Brate’ tee spoke about the accomplishment brimming with gratitude.

On a night as such, it was tough to find much to celebrate. Even after the win, the Warriors were emotional. The one chair looked empty, and the thought of it remaining so broke most. Amidst the suffering, however, the Warriors’ foundational trio reached a major milestone. Tonight’s win against the Hawks marked Klay Thompson, Stephen Curry, and Draymond Green’s 400th win as a unit.

At the post-game conference, the Warriors sharpshooter was asked about the special moment, and he expressed his gratitude for the achievement.

“I mean, anytime I am on the court with those two, I’m very grateful because I have friends in this league who tell me how lucky I am to play with my friends and experience that continuity of having teammates for over a decade. I never take it for granted being out there with number 23 and 30. I did not know that but that is really cool to think about. It’s a lot of wins and hopefully many more to come,” 

The trio have been together for 12 years. Under the same roof and flexing the same badge, they have created history together. Four championships, All-Star selections, and countless memories characterize their stay in the Bay. Given Klay hasn’t reached an agreement to extend yet, this might be the last run for the trio.

Regardless of if it is their last season together, the trio will be one of the most celebrated. They made San Francisco relevant again, built a dominant dynasty from the ground up, and grew together. Their names will always be associated with one another.
