Klay Thompson’s move to the Dallas Mavericks this offseason has already made waves. While the team has been inconsistent in their last eight games, going 4-4, their overall performance has been solid. The Mavericks currently sit fourth in the Western Conference with a 20-12 record, and Thompson has quickly won over Dallas fans with his play.
Recently, Thompson’s popularity was on full display when he was spotted on a Dallas street signing autographs and meeting fans. Among the crowd was a delivery guy who attempted to troll the Mavericks star. While filming the encounter, the delivery guy boldly claimed, “I’m the only one that doesn’t give a f***; I don’t even know who the f*** you are.”
Thompson, however, didn’t let the comment slide and also didn’t lose his cool. With his signature wit, he fired back.

Klay Thompson Clarifies Reggie Miller Praise After Backlash
After moving into fifth place on the NBA’s all-time three-point list, Klay Thompson called Reggie Miller “the greatest shooter ever.” However, his statement sparked backlash, with many accusing him of overlooking his former teammate Stephen Curry for the top spot. In response to a fan’s comment, Klay explained his perspective.
“ My man lemme clarify. I wrote this caption with my childhood in mind. At the time, Reggie was the standard for off-guards and ball movement along with shot-making. We all know 30 is the GOAT shooter,“ Thompson wrote.
Fans seemed to appreciate Klay’s clarification. By referencing Curry’s jersey number, Thompson reaffirmed his respect for his teammate’s legacy while paying homage to Miller’s influence during his formative years.
