Klay Thompson BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Klay Thompson has commanded headlines the past few days, and not so much for anything happening inside the paint. Freshly installed as a Dallas Maverick for the 2025 NBA season, Klay found himself in the center of a media firestorm after former NBA players Jason Williams and Patrick Beverley made graphic, disrespectful comments about his relationship with Megan Thee Stallion on the “Hoopin’ N Hollerin’” podcast. Williams even speculated on air that Thompson’s romance may be the reason for his sagging on-court performance, a claim delivered in language so crude that it crossed the line for Klay, who quickly responded on Instagram calling the remarks “disgusting and disturbing.” According to the Los Angeles Times and Tribune, Thompson emphasized that no one should ever speak about another man’s partner that way, especially not fellow members of the basketball fraternity. Social media caught fire with fans and commentators jumping in, and NBACentral highlighted Klay’s pointed message for Williams and Beverley: “Do better, fellas.” While Megan Thee Stallion herself has not publicly weighed in, Klay’s stance brought fresh attention to the issue of player privacy and professional respect.

Amid this swirl, other developments for Thompson have slid under the radar but may prove biographically significant. Statistically, 2025 has been his toughest season: ESPN and numerous recaps report he is averaging less than 10 points per game, with his three-point percentage over 10 points down compared to his earlier years. This is the lowest production of his storied, likely Hall of Fame career, and Dallas’s fortunes aren’t much better—the Mavericks have struggled with a losing record and major roster instability, including the recent firing of GM Nico Harrison. Those around the franchise, according to TMZ Sports, attribute the dip more to age and team woes than off-court distractions, with Klay now 35 years old and looking noticeably diminished on both ends as the Mavericks limp through the schedule.

Social media mentions have exploded. Fans rallied behind Thompson’s defense of Megan, even as memes and hot takes dissect the supposed “Curse of Meg.” Meanwhile, an Instagram post from Megan Thee Stallion alluding to buying a house with Klay generated a second round of buzz, fueling rumors about the seriousness of their partnership, although neither party has commented directly. On the business and public appearance front, Klay’s visibility hasn’t waned—he fielded questions at the Mavericks’ pregame media availability ahead of the Phoenix matchup, but stayed measured when addressing on-court struggles, emphasizing staying professional and supporting his teammates, as seen in recent footage from Bally Sports.

The big headlines this week: “Klay Thompson Slams Disturbing Reference to Megan Thee Stallion” led sports sites, while fans and former players debated how much personal life really spills onto the hardwood. No major new endorsements, off-court business, or charitable appearances have been reported in the last few days, with narrative gravity clearly fixed on this current feud and Dallas’s on-court slump. So for now, as stories swirl and the Mavericks try to right the ship, it’s Klay’s response to disrespect that stands out—a reminder that his off-court voice remains just as unflinching as his shooting once was.
