Thompson was a key part of Golden State’s dynasty as the team won championships in 2015, ’17, ’18 and ’22 and reached the NBA Finals in 2016 and ’19 as well.
In 2023-24, Thompson averaged 17.9 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists per game while shooting 43.2% overall and 38.7% on 3-pointers.
Overall, it marked the first season in which Thompson played in 70 or more games and failed to average at least 20 ppg since 2013-14 when he posted 18.4 ppg.
Thompson is sixth on the NBA’s all-time 3-pointers made list with 2,481, behind Reggie Miller (2,560), Damian Lillard (2,607), James Harden (2,940), Ray Allen (2,973) and Thompson’s now-former “Splash Brother” with the Warriors, Stephen Curry, and his 3,747 career makes from beyond the arc.
In a Friday evening message posted to social media, Thompson wrote:
“Oh Bay Area , there are not enough words and images to convey how I really feel about yall.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for the best times of my life.
It was such an honor to put that Dubs jersey on from day 1.
I really just wanted to be the best I could be and help bring as many championships as possible to the region.
The best part was not the rings though, it was the friendships I made that will last a lifetime.
