We’ve finally seen Klay Thompson sporting the colors of a different NBA team.
Recent clips have surfaced showing Thompson training with his new teammates. It feels surreal—the 34-year-old shooting guard inked a three-year contract worth $50 million with the Dallas Mavericks after dedicating the initial 13 years of his NBA journey to the Golden State Warriors.

It’s quite unusual seeing Thompson in a different jersey, especially after his significant contribution to the Warriors’ success in securing four NBA championships. Golden State drafted him 11th overall in the 2011 NBA draft. During his tenure, he earned five All-Star selections and, together with Steph Curry, formed the iconic “Splash Brothers” duo. The thought of them not playing together seems almost unimaginable.
In the 2023-24 season, Thompson managed averages of 17.9 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 2.3 assists over 29.7 minutes per game, shooting 38.7% from beyond the arc, marking one of his lower three-point shooting seasons.
He has joined a Mavericks squad that made it to the 2024 NBA Finals but fell short, losing to the Boston Celtics in five games. The addition of Thompson is seen as a key move to potentially propel Dallas to championship success.
Thompson’s departure from the Warriors not only marks the end of an era for the team but also signifies a pivotal shift in the NBA landscape. The Warriors were pivotal in reshaping how basketball is played, and Thompson played a significant role in this revolution.
