"31 is nasty work Killa," Draymond posted on his story while tagging Klay Thompson. Green's nickname for Thompson has always been "Killa Klay." Thompson said in his press conference that he's paying his respects to some of the greats to wear No. 31 in the past, such aswhen he won a championship with the Mavs, but more specifically Reggie Miller, one of Thompson's idols when he was growing up.
2024-25 will be the first season in which Green and Thompson haven't been on the same team in their NBA careers. Both were selected by Golden State in the early 2010s and helped create a dynasty in the latter half of the decade. Thompson is looking forward to spacing the floor and receiving open passes from Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving. He believes they're close to winning a championship, especially after they reached the NBA Finals this year, and that he could be the piece they're missing to put them over the top.Austin Veazey joined NoleGameday as the Lead Basketball Writer in 2019, while contributing as a football writer, and started as editor for MavericksGameday in 2024.
