Draymond Green gives a hilarious answer about how to stay in touch with Klay Thompson

After 12 seasons as teammates and four NBA titles together, it's no surprise that Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green and Dallas Mavericks winger Klay Thompson remain close friends.

Much emphasis has been placed on Thompson's close relationship with Steph Curry, as the two were aptly nicknamed the “Splash Brothers” during their time with the Warriors because of their ability to make a ton of threes. But Green played an integral role in Golden State's four NBA title runs, and the trio is synonymous with the franchise-changing era of Warriors basketball.

However, don't expect Green to keep up with Thompson much as the season progresses, even though Green maintains that the two former teammates remain close friends.

“I saw him. I told him to shoot. “As far as keeping in touch…have you ever tried staying in touch with Klay?” Green prompted a reporter to laugh out loud. “It's a very one-sided thing. The love is there, the relationship is there. I'll get back to you after the season. We'll both be in LA enjoying it and spending some time together. But.” I'm not adding more gray hair to myself by just trying to chase Klay.

Green will meet Thompson at least three more times before the regular season is over, and perhaps in the playoffs as well. They'll have plenty of time to catch up in the offseason, but for now both will try to lead their teams to another title as Western Conference rivals.
