Klay Thompson pays tribute to Stephen Curry for breaking three-point record

Curry shot 5-of-14 on three-pointers and scored 22 points overall in Tuesday’s win. Curry now has 2,977 career three-pointers made.

On Wednesday, Thompson, currently putting the finishing touches on a recovery from an Achilles injury last year, gave Curry a heartfelt shout-out on social media.

Footage surfaced of Curry personally presenting engraved Rolex watches to Draymond Green and Andre Iguodala after Tuesday’s game in recognition of their integral contributions to his remarkable achievement. Since Thompson could not be in attendance, he will receive his custom Rolex once Golden State returns home from their road trip.

The four teammates of course led the Warriors to three NBA titles (2015, 2017, 2018) during the team’s outstanding Finals run.

Thompson will soon rejoin his Warriors teammates back on the court as the team continues to reassert itself as one of the NBA’s elite squad after one down season.

While the Warriors reportedly “haven’t decided internally” what the exact timetable is for Thompson’s return, it’s believed it could happen in the next week or two. With the Warriors sitting at a Western Conference-best 23-5, getting Thompson back in the rotation will make the team that much more formidable.
