Well, ya see, Draymond Green, he couldn’t help himself when he saw his old buddy Klay Thompson go and pick a new number—31! Now, that’s a bit of a change, since ol’ Klay’s been known for his No. 11 for as long as anybody can remember. But Draymond, bein’ Draymond, he just had to give Klay a good ribbing for it. Went right to Instagram, he did, callin’ it “nasty work,” sayin’ somethin’ like “31 is nasty work, killa.” Ain’t that somethin’?
Now lemme tell ya, Draymond and Klay, they go way back. Them two, they played more games together than most folks can count. 12 years with the Warriors, nearly 800 games together! So, when Draymond pokes a little fun at Klay, it’s all in good spirits, ya know? These two, they been through thick and thin, so a little joke here and there ain’t gonna hurt no one.
But this number 31, it’s got folks scratchin’ their heads, thinkin’ why ol’ Klay made the switch from 11, which been his number since forever. Well, some folks say it might have somethin’ to do with Klay movin’ to the Mavericks, ya know, joinin’ up with Luka and Kyrie down in Dallas. And funny thing is, Kyrie already got dibs on No. 11, so maybe that’s why Klay went with 31. Makes sense, right?
Draymond wasn’t the only one scratchin’ his head though. Some folks thought, “Why 31, Klay?” I mean, it’s a different number for sure, but Klay, he ain’t no stranger to takin’ on a challenge. He’s wearin’ that 31 proud, kinda like a fresh start over there with the Mavericks. And heck, 31 ain’t a bad number either; it’s been worn by some legendary shooters in the NBA. So maybe Klay’s onto somethin’ there, tryin’ to give himself a new identity.
Draymond might call it “nasty work,” but he still got that brotherly love for Klay. Can’t blame him for throwin’ a little shade; that’s just how Draymond is. Heck, he probably just wanted to see how Klay’d react! Draymond’s always been a bit of a teaser, ain’t nothin’ new there. And Klay, well, he’s got his own way of takin’ it in stride. He’s all serious when it comes to playin’, but he knows how to laugh it off when Draymond throws a jab.
And truth be told, there’s somethin’ nice about watchin’ these two go back and forth, even if they’re on different teams now. It’s like seein’ two ol’ buddies who spent years workin’ together, now ribbin’ each other from afar. They got history, they got friendship, and they got respect. That kinda bond don’t just disappear with a jersey change.
So, ya might wonder, what’s next for Klay with that new number 31? Well, he’s with the Mavericks now, and they could use someone like him, a sharp-shooter who knows his way around a game. And who knows, maybe that number switch will bring him some luck, or maybe it’ll just add a little more spice to his rivalry with Draymond. Either way, it’s somethin’ fans love to watch—keeps things interesting, ya know?
At the end of the day, it’s all just good fun between these two ol’ pals. Draymond’s jestin’ about the number 31, callin’ it “nasty work,” might be his way of sayin’, “I see you, Klay.” And Klay, well, he knows Draymond’s style. Probably just chuckled, maybe shot back somethin’ smart, or just shrugged it off. But one thing’s for sure, even with different jerseys, these two will keep that friendship and rivalry alive. They’re just cut from the same cloth, ya know?
