Golden State Warriors Fans React to Klay Thompson's Mavericks Debut

In this story:
Klay Thompson had spent his entire NBA career with the Golden State Warriors prior to joining the Dallas Mavericks this summer. This is a change everyone is still getting used to, as Thompson was an integral piece to Golden State’s four NBA championships during his time there.
It was an incredible debut for Thompson in Dallas, as the five-time NBA All-Star scored 22 points while making six of his 10 three-point attempts. The six made threes for Thompson were a record for any player in their Mavericks debut.
Via dallasmavs on IG: “With 6 👌s, Klay set a franchise record for most 3-pointers made in a Mavs debut."
Warriors fans still have a lot of love for Thompson and have been reacting to his performance on Thursday.
