Short answers, pulled from the story.
The Splash Brothers are Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, guards who played together for the Golden State Warriors from 2011 to 2024. They are considered among the greatest shooters and one of the greatest backcourts in NBA history, winning four championships and reaching six NBA Finals together.
Curry joined the Warriors after being picked seventh overall in the 2009 NBA draft, and Thompson joined two years later as the 11th overall pick in 2011. They played together in Golden State from 2011 to 2024.
The nickname refers to their ability to splash the net, especially on three-pointers, and plays on the older Bash Brothers nickname for Oakland Athletics sluggers Jose Canseco and Mark McGwire. The term began in 2012 in a tweet by Warriors website writer Brian Witt, using the hashtag #SplashBrothers.
