The NBA community's heart broke with the recent passing of Klay Thompson's beloved bulldog, Rocco, who accompanied Thompson throughout his playing career and became somewhat of a celebrity himself because of his frequent appearances.

Thompson posted a photo of Rocco to Instagram last week, where he shared a heartfelt tribute to his late canine friend.

"I'm gonna miss Rocco a lot," Thompson wrote. "Thirteen glorious years with my boy. I know he's in doggy heaven poppin' somebody's ball. A great dynasty dog he was. Thank you for all the sweet messages! All dogs go to heaven!"

Among the many touching and personal comments left on Thompson's post was a message from his former teammate Stephen Curry's sister, Sydel Curry-Lee, who currently co-hosts a popular podcast with WNBA star Cameron Brink.

"😇🐾," Curry-Lee wrote, in a comment that has over 1,650 likes on Instagram.

In Thompson's return to Golden State with the Dallas Mavericks this past November, he wore a special colorway of his signature ANTA KT 10s inspired by Rocco. He scored 22 points and made six 3-pointers that night in an emotional 120-117 loss to the team he spent his first 13 seasons and won four NBA championships with.

Thompson is currently expected to return to the Mavericks in 2025-26, barring a surprise trade this offseason, though his name has appeared as popular fodder in several hypothetical mock trades.
