Warriors Fans React To Unfortunate Klay Thompson News

Golden State Warriors legend Klay Thompson's love for his dog Rocco has been well documented throughout his career. Sadly, Klay's father, Mychal, announced on Tuesday that Rocco died this past weekend after what can only be called a life well lived.

The loss of Rocco, a fan favorite among Warriors and NBA fans in general during his lifetime, has understandably triggered an outpouring of love and emotion on social media. Thompson had Rocco since his rookie year in 2011, meaning the pooch was at the future Hall of Famer's side for his entire adult life so far.

RIP Rocco 💔
More than a dog. He was loyalty, peace, and love in its purest form.
He walked with Klay through rings, rehab, heartbreak, and triumph.
A quiet soul who saw it all.
A silent piece of the dynasty.

Prayers up to Klay man losing a bond like that hits deep 🙏🏽❤️ pic.twitter.com/U1rDoBNvXg
