After the Warriors saga ended in a disaster for Klay Thompson, he turned towards the Dallas Mavericks. Leaving the Dubs was certainly not an easy task for the veteran, but he seemed ready for a new chapter. Following the official announcement of his addition to the franchise, Klay started preparing himself for the new challenges.
However, on seeing Klay’s training in a viral video, some NBA enthusiasts felt he was not the same as he was over his 13 years in the NBA. The clip featured Klay playing with young hoopers who were not from the league.
To everyone’s surprise, the former 3-point shooting champion could hardly hit a shot on target from both the short range and downtown. Klay even failed to defend against his opponents and looked easily exhausted.
The sole reason for Klay to join the Mavs was to lead them to the championship run. However, the condition that he is in right now, the 4-time champion would only disappoint the Dallas fans.
Social Media Fans React to Klay Thompson Video
As Klay Thompson’s video started reaching the social media circles of NBA fans, they came rushing to criticize the former Warriors big man. Here’s what some of the comments under the 30problemz’s X (FKA Twitter) post read:
“He’s getting cooked by some random dudes at YMCA”, wrote one of the fans.

Another fan added, “mavs fans excited for this version of klay, I am crine”
Someone roasted Klay by commenting, “50 million and he’s not even the first option in a LA fitness pickup game.”
While one fan sarcastically wrote, “Not Klay getting clamped by some dude named Habeet. Smh.”
Harshly criticizing Klay, someone commented, “You are a clown. Everyone out here knows you are a clown. You are re still clowning. Amazing.”
One fan made a meme out of the Mavs’ GM’s quote on Klay and mocking his strategies.
Klay Thompson might have upset the fans with his training video, but there’s still a lot of time left to work on himself. There’s a possibility that Klay will become a part of the Mavs Big 3 alongside Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving but signs look far from promising.
