"My brother returning to the court has me going down memory lane.. let me hear your favorite Klay Thompson memories!": Stephen Curry calls for NBA Twitter to send out their favorite memories of the Warriors guard as he returns to the hardwood this Sunday

As the basketball community prepares itself to watch Klay Thompson back in action on Sunday, Stephen Curry takes them back in time.

Golden State Warriors fan or not, there is a high chance that one of your favorite basketball memories in the last 10-years involves the Splash Brothers in some way. Either your team taking revenge from the Dubs, who have given trouble to almost every team over the years, or them thrashing your team’s immediate rivals.

Warriors have been the undisputed best team in the NBA in the past decade and the Splash Brothers, the best duo. But since the 2019 Finals, everything went the wrong way for 3-time champions. First, they lost Kevin Durant to a season-ending injury, then Klay Thompson followed the suit.

KD left in the off-season for the Brooklyn Nets while Klay took time to get his ACL healed. He did that throughout the 2019-2020 season and returned before the next season just to tear his Achilles tendon.

Thompson has not played in an NBA basketball game in over two-and-a-half calendar years. But the Warriors have still fared well without one of the best shooters of all time to have the second-best record in the league.

And as they finally confirmed Klay’s return against, none other than, one of his favorite teams to play against, the Cleveland Cavaliers, fans cannot stop but go back in time remembering all the top Klay Thompson memories from the past.

Stephen Curry asks NBA Twitter to share their favorite Klay Thompson memory.

Nobody in the world could be more excited than Stephen Curry about Thompson’s return. And thus the Warriors’ MVP candidate recently put out a Tweet asking Dubs Nation to share their favorite ‘Klay Thompson memory’ and they responded.

Most of them remembered his 60 point performance.

Some remembered the rise of the Game 6 Thompson.

Many remembered the fun Klay.

This is one of the most anticipated returns of a basketball player in a long time. Maybe the most, after Michael Jordan’s returns from his two retirements before his final one in 2003.
