Kevon Looney’s departure from the Golden State Warriors after a decade-long tenure marks the end of an era for a franchise defined by its championship culture.

After Looney’s deal became official on Sunday, Stephen Curry sent the Warriors legend a heartfelt four-word message on his Instagram story. “Forever a legend Toon!!!!,” the four-time NBA champion wrote. Looney and Curry played vastly different roles as teammates with the Warriors.

Looney's greatest value to the Warriors came in times of desperation. Another pillar of the championship years is now gone.
