When love meets luxury, it often makes headlines, and the NBA is no stranger. From Gabrielle Union gifting Dwyane Wade a classic Mercedes for his birthday to Cookie Johnson surprising Magic with a luxurious yacht vacation for his 60th birthday, NBA WAGs have a history of going all out.
But the latest jaw-dropper comes courtesy of Megan Thee Stallion, who has left fans and fashionistas in awe with a stunning $300,000 gift to her boyfriend, Klay Thompson.
What Did Megan Thee Stallion Give Klay Thompson?
Dallas Mavericks sharpshooter Thompson is once again in the spotlight. This time, not for his three-point stroke, but for a gleaming wrist accessory that caught everyone’s attention.
At a recent high-profile event held at Gotham Hall in New York, one attendee couldn’t help but compliment the elegant watch wrapped around Thompson’s wrist. That’s when Thompson gave a beaming smile and revealed that the watch was a gift from none other than Megan Pete (aka “Megan Thee Stallion”).
“What a sweet lady,” said Thompson about Pete.

While the NBA star didn’t reveal the exact model of the watch, fan speculation has run wild. Many believe it to be an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak.
Per the company’s website, this timepiece is known for its bold and intricate design and is crafted from premium stainless steel. The watch also features an iconic octagonal bezel secured with eight visible screws, a finely patterned “Tapisserie” dial, and a bracelet that blends seamlessly into the case.
How Did Thompson and Megan Thee Stallion Go Public?
Rumors of a romance between the four-time NBA champion and the Grammy-winning rapper began earlier this month when eagle-eyed fans spotted Thompson lounging poolside in one of Pete’s Instagram posts.
Things escalated days later when Thompson himself posted a carousel of photos on Instagram, two of which included Pete. In one image, the two were holding hands, and keen observers noted Thompson was wearing a Rolex Yacht-Master II, another ultra-luxury piece.

However, all speculation was put to rest on Wednesday night when the pair debuted on the red carpet as a couple at Pete’s inaugural Pete & Thomas Foundation Gala.
“I have never dated somebody so kind,” Pete said about Thompson. “This is my first relationship where I’ve ever been with somebody who’s genuinely a nice person, and he makes me genuinely happy. I just never dated somebody like him before, and I’m just grateful that he’s here by my side and he feels the same way about me.”
Thompson’s on-court performance in the 2024-25 season was 14.0 points, 3.4 rebounds, and two assists per game.
The Mavericks finished with a 39-43 record, enough to enter the Play-In Tournament. Unfortunately, their playoff dreams were cut short after they fell to the Memphis Grizzlies in the second Play-In game.
