Stephen Curry’s admiration for longtime teammate Klay Thompson took center stage during his appearance on the Mind the Game podcast, hosted by LeBron James and Steve Nash. While the episode featured plenty of laughs and stories, Curry’s words about Thompson stood out, offering a glimpse into their bond even after Klay Thompson’s move to Dallas.

Stephen Curry, who has carried the Golden State Warriors through countless battles alongside Klay Thompson, did not hesitate when asked about shooting form. “I would teach Klay’s form to who would ask how to shoot basketball, 10/10,” Curry said.

The remark showed the reverence he holds for Thompson’s shooting style, honed over years as part of the “Splash Brothers” duo that reshaped modern basketball.

The podcast itself was a lively exchange between three of the game’s greats. LeBron James and Stephen Curry, rivals in four straight NBA Finals from 2015 to 2018, revisited their shared history.

Golden State claimed three of those titles, while LeBron James and the Cavaliers pulled off the historic 3‑1 comeback in 2016 against a Warriors team that had set a 73‑9 regular‑season record.

Steve Nash reflects on retirement and the rise of Stephen Curry’s era in the NBA

Steve Nash, who began his career with the Phoenix Suns in 1996 and retired in 2015 after four years with the Los Angeles Lakers, revealed a surprising detail about his decision to step away. While injuries played a role, Nash admitted that Curry’s rise was also a factor in his retirement, acknowledging the shift in the game that Curry helped usher in.

The conversation also touched on more recent milestones. Stephen Curry and King James joined forces in 2024 to lead Team USA to Olympic gold in Paris, a rare moment of collaboration after years of competition. In 2025, James is still sidelined as he recovers from sciatica, while Curry has started the new season strong, averaging 26.6 points and 4.4 assists on efficient shooting splits through seven games.
