While Jimmy and Juelz were splashing thanks to their fashion sense, Klay and Steph — who have been Golden State Warriors teammates since 2011 and have each won four NBA championships — earned the nickname for their jump-shooting ability on the basketball court.
The first use of the nickname to refer to the duo appeared in 2012. Writer Brian Witt made labeled them as the Splash Brothers in a a tweet following a match-up with the Charlotte Bobcats in which Steph and Klay combined for 25 points and seven three-pointers in the first half.
Steph Curry has plenty of ties to Hip Hop, whether it be the countless name-drops on songs like Sexyy Red’s “SkeeYee” or his production company Unanimous Media, which is currently developing an upcoming Mac Dre documentary.
Though it’s not clear when the project will be ready for screening, the family of the Bay Area rapper, whose life was cut short in 2004 are involved in the project and are excited about what’s to come.

“I look forward to sharing how from Andre’s dreams of rapping emerged a blueprint that not only inspired a generation but also became a guide to conquering obstacles and fulfilling their entrepreneurial dreams,” Dre’s mother, Wanda Salvatto, said about the project.
“Mac Dre is a cultural icon who made a tremendous impact on the Bay Area and beyond through his music and pioneering creativity,” Curry added. “We’re honored to work with Mac Dre’s incredible mother, Wanda, to tell her son’s life story with respect and dignity for fans, the Bay Area community, and music lovers alike.”
