Klay Thompson pushed back hard this week after hearing Patrick Beverley and Jason Williams discuss Megan Thee Stallion in graphic fashion, per TMZ. The Dallas Mavericks guard saw the viral clip circulating online and did not hold back, calling their comments “so disgusting and disturbing” as he defended his girlfriend.
Thompson entered Wednesday’s matchup with the Phoenix Suns averaging 7.4 points per game while shooting 31.4 percent from the field and 26.7 percent from three, per Basketball Network. Many observers pointed to Dallas’ situation after Luka Doncic’s trade and Kyrie Irving’s ACL injury last season, noting that Thompson no longer receives the same setups that once helped fuel his rhythm. Williams chose a different explanation.
On the “Hoopin’ N Hollering” podcast, Williams claimed that Thompson’s shooting slump stems from his relationship rather than on-court factors. “I am from West Virginia, man, I have been taught a lot from old folks, old white folks,” Williams said. “It only takes one pus*y to drag a battleship across the desert. That is how powerful it is.”
Thompson and Megan Thee Stallion began dating in July. They first appeared publicly at the rapper’s “Pete and Thomas Foundation Gala” at Gotham Hall. Despite early predictions from Shaquille O’Neal that the relationship would not last more than six weeks, the couple continues to show unity and support each other.
Thompson Catches Wind
“Referring to my GF as a ‘pus*y’ is so disgusting and disturbing,” Thompson wrote on Instagram. “Especially from someone who played in the NBA. How would yall feel if I referred to your wives in such a way? @patbev21. Do better fellas. Very disappointing.”
Thompson currently averages 8.5 points per game in his second season with Dallas and shoots 38.9 percent from deep. Megan has attended multiple games during the slump, including a recent Mavericks matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Around that time, she posted a photo of a key in front of a house and hinted that the couple may have taken a major step in their relationship. Last week, she also posted a video of Thompson bringing her flowers after he arrived late to pick her up at the airport.
Williams continued his take during the segment. “Klay Thompson, I ain’t saying it is what it is,” he said. “But that might be what it is.”
Beverley, who appeared in the discussion, also drew backlash after fans reacted to the clip. Williams, known as “White Chocolate,” kept his position throughout the conversation.
Some fans on social media echoed Williams’ claim. Others blamed Thompson’s past injuries or his age, while another group focused strictly on his reduced shot attempts. Thompson averages 8.6 attempts per game, the lowest usage of his career, and those fans argued that fewer touches limit his scoring rhythm.
Public Reaction Grows as Klay and Meg Remain Unified
The scrutiny around Thompson and Megan has intensified in recent weeks, especially after the couple appeared more openly together. Megan posted a picture of them forming a heart shape with their hands while she held the same key that sparked speculation about a shared home. Thompson has continued to acknowledge their relationship publicly, and her courtside appearances have drawn viral attention.
The commentary from Williams and Beverley added fuel to an already active conversation. Thompson chose to address it directly, and his response drew support from fans who viewed the comments as crossing a line.
For now, Thompson continues to voice appreciation for Megan’s support while he navigates a slow shooting start. Megan continues to show up at games and post moments from their growing relationship. The attention around their partnership shows no signs of slowing down, but Thompson made it clear that he plans to confront any disrespect head-on.
