where did the name splash brothers come from
Splash Brothers The Splash Brothers nickname refers to the duo's ability to "splash" the net with the ball, particularly on three-point shots,[17] and is a play on an older nickname for another pair of Oakland 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 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 115â€“100.[25] The Warriors liked the nickname, and encouraged Witt to continue tweeting it.[25]
