Klay Thompson Shares Tribute to Durant: 'He’s the Reason There Are Banners Hanging in the Rafters of Oracle'
Klay Thompson shows his injured teammate some love prior to Game 6.
Prior to Thursday night's Game 6 Klay Thompson sent out an emotional note to Kevin Durant, who was last seen in a hospital bed recovering from a ruptured Achilles. We'd rehash the story but you have to know it by now.
In any event, Thompson addressed Warriors fans by stating that Durant's "the reason there are banners in the rafters of Oracle." That would be a nod to 2017 and '18 respectively, though you're already aware it wouldn't apply to '15. This is no time for snake emojis.
Read in its entirety it would seem to suggest that Golden State fans are going to get up as an emotional response to seeing Durant go down in Game 5. It also ended by pointing out that Thursday night's game is the last one in Oracle Arena, which could potentially bum you out. Especially if you're pissed about the team exiting Oakland for San Francisco.
Matter fact, here it is in its entirety...twice, for good measure:
Well said.
