The NBA world is buzzing after video surfaced of Klay Thompson and Megan Thee Stallion holding hands outside a New York City restaurant. The viral clip has fans celebrating what looks like the start of something special between the Dallas Mavericks guard and the Grammy-winning rapper. For Thompson, who’s already winning on the court in his first season with Dallas, this might be his biggest victory yet off the court.
How Are NBA Fans Reacting to Klay Thompson’s New Romance?
Thompson has built a career that speaks for itself. The 35-year-old helped guide the Golden State Warriors to four titles over a decade and earned five All-Star selections during that stretch. His perimeter shooting made him one of the league’s most lethal scorers, and the talented marksman has worked his way up to fifth place in the NBA’s all-time 3-point shooting list.
Beyond the numbers, Thompson’s sharpshooting wasn’t the only reason he became beloved in NBA circles. His ability to connect with the community and his amiable nature on the court saw him develop into a fan favorite. Those same fans are now thrilled to see Thompson begin a new relationship in his life.

The speculation surrounding Thompson and Megan started earlier this week, and the Mavericks guard seemed to verify the rumors when he posted a collection of pics from his recent vacation on Instagram.
Thompson made a name for himself in San Francisco, but the decision to move to Dallas in 2024 seems to be working out for him. Not only is Thompson a part of one of the most talented rosters in the NBA, but he is also dating a Texas woman who is a great fit for him.
