Thompson is referring to Luka Doncic's second season in the NBA, and the Mavericks were playing in Los Angeles. Doncic is getting ready to inbound the ball, but he hears a fan trash-talking him in Slovenian behind him. He turns around to see it's Kobe Bryant, sitting court-side with his daughter, Gigi.

"It reminds you that there’s greatness still within you," Thompson said after a blistering first quarter against the Wizards.

The Dallas Mavericks hosted the Washington Wizards on Monday night and got out to a dominating start, thanks to future Hall of Famer Klay Thompson. He scored 21 points in the first quarter, outscoring the Wizards by himself, as Washington had just 16 points in the first 12 minutes.

Mavericks guard Klay Thompson weighed in the possibility of joining Stephen Curry to face Sabrina Ionescu and Caitlin Clark in a three-point contest during the upcoming NBA All-Star Weekend.

Dallas Mavericks star Klay Thompson recently paid tribute to NBA legend Kobe Bryant, sharing a heartfelt memory of the late icon while offering high praise for his teammate, Luka Doncic.

Klay Thompson shared an incredibly humble admission following the Mavericks' victory against the Wizards on Monday night.

During the Celtics-Warriors game on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, TNT analyst and Basketball Hall of Famer Reggie Miller appeared to leak that Clark and Thompson would join the showdown at All-Star Weekend.

Klay Thompson must have warmed up pregame in the Hot Tub Time Machine, because the vintage Thompson from a decade ago showed up in the first quarter Monday night in Dallas. Thompson knocked down seven 3-pointers in the first quarter on the Wizards.

The contest, won by Curry, earned the seal of approval from the majority of basketball fans. And it appears the league has even bigger plans for the contest, as there have been rumblings that Curry's former teammate Klay Thompson, as well as Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark, could join the fray.
