[@Dozynen]

RIP

[@Herosennin]

⁠​⁠@@QuiverGetsBucketsHe did way more than that. Drafted Magic(which given, everybody wouldve), but also Worthy and Scott to the Lakers and built the squad that would dominate the 80's. He got Shaq and drafted Kobe while the entire organisation did not believe in giving up their first round pick for a 17 year old, who later became the greatest Laker. Then ensembled the first team of the Memphis Grizzlies that went to the playoffs and conference finals for the first time in history by first getting Marc Gasol and Conley and then Tony Allen from the Celtics later. Then he went to GS in 2011, literally the year they started trending upwards with him advising to make Kerr the head coach. He also drafted Klay who GS wasnt sure to draft because they wanted to trade him for Kevin Love, to which West said he would leave if they'd trade Klay which made GS choose Klay. Also drafted Draymond who was fairly surely not going to be a draft pick if not for West specifically choosing him as the very last pick in the draft with their only second round pick that year. Their edition of Bogut was also personally requested by West. And sure, it ultimately didnt play out as supposed, but then went on to the Clippers and got them Kawhi and George in the very same year and later even got Harden and we all know that realistically if the Clippers had simply remained healthy over the years, they most definitely wouldve probably won one seeing how they went to the WCF twice even once without Kawhi or Harden who wasnt there yet in an incredibly strong Westz Easily the greatest GM of all time by a landslide. Pat Riley second. Sam Prestie even though he has never won a chip, is for me in the hotseat for 3rd, but he has a long career ahead and has to add some accolades to get that spot. Talent wise he's up there just like Ainge. For now it's probably Jerry Krause at 3rd.

And we have a shot at real longevity because the guys at the top make a lot of good decisions. Right now I'm just trying to cherish Steph and Draymond while they're still here. Klay, KD will always get the same love from me as well. They are warriors for life in my book.

[@Casey-zp9kv]

I think Klay is so underrated, the dudes avg 20pts per game since 2014, only dropping this year due to the off court drama plus hes a better defender than Steph. I'm hoping in Dallas he remains healthy and can calve some of his own legacy outside of the Warriors Big3.

They not only were lethal shooters but were monsters moving off the ball on opposite sides of the court at the same time. It created this crazy offense that just worked. It still worked just enough up until 2022 but Klays legs can’t handle all that running and he just doesn’t get the lift anymore on his jump shots I think mainly due to his achilles injury.

One day their records will be overtaken, but by then, every team would have plenty of shooters. Skills will keep on improving as time goes on, but the gap between you and everyone else in your era is what defines greatness, and these two will go down as the greatest shooting duo of all time

[@keefeadrian2779]

i don't think their 3pt records will ever be broken tho, that 73-9 season curry jumped from 286 to 402 threes, and now 280 threes is just a casual season for him. in comparison, trae reached 200 threes in only 2 seasons (highest total only 233 threes), and lillard's best records are only 270 and 275 threes. lillard has the most potential to get close to curry and yet he's 1100+ threes away from curry's record

[@eduardoreyes2128]

Klay's shot was ruined because he could no longer get his legs under his shot. He changed so many little things in it after the 2 devastating injuries. There are so many clips of him hesitating, airballing, and bricking (mostly because instead of only flicking his wrist, he's over compensating by using his whole arm to shoot aka catapulting/slinging because he can't use his legs). When you see him play it's as if he's more worried about making his "new" jumpshot (or set shot) to work, like he knows something is about to go wrong on his form and he's actively thinking about it even before shooting the ball or catching the ball. For him to still even be above average %-wise despite airballing and bricking so many shots speaks volumes about his work ethic. He can still get stupidly hot though.

[@SBMMBOOGIE]

We will NEVER see another backcourt duo like this again for a long time 👏

[@thegreatbambi5674]

In MY opinion, these dudes are MY favorite duo in NBA History. They changed the game. I wish Klay could have had the luxury of playing for the Warriors his whole career. Very glad he was able to come back after the injury and win it all that same season. I know his 941 days away from the game was hell, but somewhat a happy ending to his return that season.

I don't think many people realize how insane their numbers are. From the records they broke together in their first season playing together, to everything that happend in between, good and bad, that led them to 4 championships together. These two changed the way the game of basketball is played at every level. The sport will never be the same because of them. Their records as a duo, and even their individual records may never be broken. It would be absolutely mad for a player to surpass their level of greatness. It's going to be so weird seeing them on different teams this season. But it's absolutely certain that we will never see another backcourt duo accomplish everything they have accomplished together in quite the same manner. This is history that will never be repeated. The game of basketball will forever be grateful for the "Splash Brothers".
