Quentin Grimes: You have to stay ready and keep preparing yourself. I was in the gym every night—getting my shots, getting treatment, watching guys like Kyrie and Klay—how they take care of their bodies, how they get up extra shots before and after practice. How disciplined they are with their routines—that really focused me. It changed my mindset. I knew opportunities were going to come, and I had to be ready for them.
Klay Thompson and rapper girlfriend Megan Thee Stallion took a major step in their relationship Wednesday when they made their red carpet debut. The couple stepped out as an item for the first time after a week of dropping sizzling hints about their blossoming romance on social media. The Grammy Award winner, 30, clutched her NBA beau's hand as they made their dazzling entrance into the Pete & Thomas Foundation Gala in New York City Wednesday evening.
Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson made their red carpet debut Wednesday evening at her inaugural Pete & Thomas Foundation Gala at Gotham Hall in New York City. “I have never dated somebody so kind,” the rap superstar exclusively gushed to Page Six of her new romance, while on the red carpet. “This is my first relationship where I’ve ever been with somebody who’s genuinely a nice person, and he makes me genuinely happy.” “I just never dated somebody like him before and I’m just grateful that he’s here by my side and he feels the same way about me.”
Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson are officially an item! The Grammy-winning rapper is dating the Dallas Mavericks guard, a source confirmed to "Good Morning America" on Sunday. The confirmation comes after Thompson shared photos on Instagram Saturday featuring Megan, including one of the two kissing and another of them holding hands.
After Thompson was seen in the background of a photo Megan Thee Stallion posted on her Instagram account last week, fans began speculating that they were dating. On Saturday, Thompson shared a picture of himself with Meg on his own Instagram account, seemingly confirming their relationship. That drew quite a few responses from folks on social media, including from Durant, who hyped up Thompson in the comments. “THAT BOY,” Durant said in response to Thompson's post.

Klay Thompson might not be quite ready to go Instagram official with Megan Thee Stallion ... but, that doesn't mean he won't tease fans with a couple of strategically taken photos. The basketball star posted a series of pics from the Bahamas to his Instagram Saturday ... including one where he seems to be locking lips with a woman who's wearing a tight pair of leggings.
You can't see her face in the pic ... but, later, KT posts a photo of his hand wrapped around this woman's -- and, the nails seem to match up with a recent photo MTS put on her IG. The hands don't lie ... even if the two stars aren't ready to tell the world about each their romance quite yet.
Basketball legend Klay Thompson might have a new teammate off the court. On Wednesday, the five-time NBA All-Star was spotted in the background of Megan Thee Stallion’s recent Instagram post, sending social media into a frenzy of rumor and speculation. While the post itself didn’t highlight Klay directly, fans quickly noticed him in the corner of the frame, and rumors are now swirling that the two might be dating.

LeBron James: I personally think that he wants to be great. He had a hell of a year at Duke. A guy that can do so many different things out on the floor, can play with the ball, can play without the ball. His jump shot is going to continue to get better. Super athletic, quick second jump. Also he has the benefit unlike myself, he gets to join a team that's established, with Hall of Fame guys: Klay Thompson, Anthony Davis, Kyrie Irving, right off the bat. Hall of Fame coach Jason Kidd. These guys can give him the whole blueprint while he continues to learn what his blueprint will be.
They’d lose in overtime of Game 6 of the 2014 West Finals, a series that might’ve been different had Serge Ibaka not strained his calf in the previous round. The following training camp, Kevin Durant (the reigning MVP) fractured his foot at the peak of his powers. Complications forced him to shut it down for the 2015 season. They climbed the mountain again in 2016, winning 55 games, eliminating the 67-win Spurs in the second round and pushing the 73-win Golden State Warriors to the brink. But then Klay Thompson struck them with a bolt of Game 6 lightning — the most infamous loss in the Durant era — and a blown 3-1 series lead became the bitter end to the contention era. Durant left for the Warriors a month later. That’s the long path and more tortured side of their history that, for some Thunder fans, followers and even employees, can be exorcised on Thursday night with one more win. But there are still 48 minutes before that can become reality.
Have you seen anyone in today’s game—like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander—who reminds you of players from your era? Michael Cooper: Yes. George Gervin. Kevin Durant. Yeah. You see players like him but he plays the game in a different kind of way. That young man is so….. The one thing I love about SGA is that if you look at his game, he never very rarely, maybe once a game but, I haven’t seen it in this playoff series see him take a bad shot. He doesn’t take falling back leaning all the way back — if he does, he scores. But he doesn’t take a lot of bad shots and he always plays the game at his speed and he gets what he wants. You know, one of the unique things that I was able to experience was a young Kobe Bryant. I worked Kobe out when he came in and did his workout with the Lakers and it was certain things that Jerry had wanted him to do — get to this spot, get to the elbow, get to the low post, get to the midrange and we put X’s on the floor to where he had to get to and my job was to keep him away from that. Now there were many times that he didn’t get there and there were many times that he did get there and every time he hit his shot but, the things that we saw with Kobe, is that he got to his spots. Great NBA players know where their spot is on the floor. Kevin Durant, Steph Curry, Klay Thompson… These guys know where their spots are. They know if they get to that spot, 9 out of 10 times they’re going to hit that shot and that’s what SGA has.
Klay Thompson: I’m gonna miss Rocco a lot, 13 glorious years with my boy . I know he’s in doggy heaven poppin somebody’s ball. A great dynasty dog he was. Thank you for all the sweet messages ! All dogs go to Heaven !
