Klay Thompson's Honest Statement After Warriors vs Mavericks

For as much as Thompson wanted to downplay the matchup as nothing special, it's very clear that it was anything but that. After the game, Thompson spoke on Inside the NBA, where he shared his heartfelt reaction to the reception he received in Golden State.

"It was a really cool experience," Thompson said. "I appreciate the fans very much. The captain's hat ended up being such a great touch, because I'm such a great boater. I saw a lot of familiar faces in the crowd, that was a warm-hearted feeling... something I'll never take for granted. That was very awesome."

While the Dallas Mavericks didn't come out with the win against the Warriors, Thompson had himself a night. Against his former team, Thompson put up 22 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists on 41/50/100 shooting from the field; he made six threes.

Klay Thompson may no longer be a member of the Golden State Warriors right now, but he'll be remembered as one of the greatest Warriors for the rest of his life.
