Monta Ellis sends love to Steph Curry for rocking jersey to Oracle finale

Share

Steph Curry has been honoring Warriors legends by wearing their jerseys to the final games at Oracle Arena, and on Sunday he gave a nod to a player who holds a special place in hearts of Warriors fans -- Monta Ellis.

Curry and Ellis played together for two and half seasons, with Ellis famously saying that he and Curry "can't play together" after the Warriors drafted Curry with the No. 7 overall pick in the 2009 NBA Draft. 

Regardless of their history, Curry arrived at Oracle Arena rocking an Ellis throwback jersey prior to the final regular-season game in Oakland.

Warriors fans weren't the only ones who appreciated the gesture, as Ellis sent Curry some love on Instagram after the arrival.

Hatchet buried.

Ellis played six and a half seasons for the Warriors before being traded to the Milwaukee Bucks midway through the 2011-12 season. During his Warriors tenure, Ellis averaged 19.6 points per game while shooting 46.5 percent from the field.

Curry also has rocked the jerseys of Stephen Jackson, Andris Biedrins, Tim Hardaway and Baron Davis down the stretch.

With the Dubs wrapping up the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference on Sunday, we're sure Curry has even more planned for the final playoff run at Oracle.
