Their is a picture of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson

The Splash Brothers nickname refers to the duo's ability to "splash" the net with the ball, particularly on three-point shots.^[17] The term began in 2012 in a tweet from Brian Witt, a writer for the Warriors website. On December 21 against the Charlotte Bobcats, Curry and Thompson had combined for 25 points and seven 3-pointers by halftime, when Witt posted an update of their performance on the team's Twitter account with a #SplashBrothers hashtag; Golden State would win the game 115–100.^[25] The name was a play off an older nickname for another pair of San Francisco Bay Area teammates, baseball players Jose Canseco and Mark McGwire, who were known as the Bash Brothers when they played for the Oakland Athletics.^[16][25] The Warriors liked the nickname, and encouraged Witt to continue tweeting it.
