Klay Thompson Condemns Jason Williams Over Vulgar Megan Thee Stallion Remark

The Mavericks guard responded after a viral podcast clip blamed his girlfriend for his slump.

Overview

  • On Hoopin’ N Hollerin’, former NBA guard Jason Williams suggested Klay Thompson’s relationship could explain his struggles, using a crude metaphor as cohost Patrick Beverley reacted on air.
  • Klay Thompson called the language “so disgusting and disturbing” in an Instagram comment and asked how the hosts would feel if their wives were referenced that way.
  • The exchange drew criticism of Williams and Beverley online as many fans defended Megan Thee Stallion and rejected blaming a partner for an athlete’s performance.
  • Thompson is off to a poor start and was recently benched by Dallas, with reporting citing averages around 7.4 points per game and 26.7% three-point shooting.
  • Analysts pointed to age, injury history, fewer shot attempts and team context as more likely reasons for Thompson’s dip than his personal life.
