NBC Sports Bay Area's own Brian Witt was the mastermind behind the appropriately named Splash Brothers referring to Klay Thompson and Steph Curry and their ability to make it rain from deep.
And in Game 6 of the 2018 NBA Finals, Thompson held true to his nickname drenching the court with a game-high 35 points with nine three-pointers in the Warriors' 115-86 win over the Houston Rockets sending the Dubs to Game 7.
The dude had himself a game -- and you remember what happened next.
Could history repeat itself in Game 6 -- at least for Klay? Well, maybe -- but for now Klay isn't thinking about that:
Klay was asked if we can expect another huge Game 6 from him

The five-time All-Star doesn't even know his post-workout plans for Thursday night, so who knows what is going to compute when Game 6 rolls around. Although I suggest chicken wings -- wings are always a good idea.
It was just announced Thompson will be returning to The Finals in Game 4 with Steve Kerr confirming that was the plan.

Klay missed Game 3 after exiting Game 2 early with a hamstring injury. And despite his yearning to play as he sat on the bench dressed in a uniform, the Warriors made the decision to keep him out.
We'll see him on the court Friday and we hope to figure out what he chose for dinner.
