Overview
- On Barstool Sports’ Hoopin’ N Hollerin’ podcast, Jason Williams used a vulgar metaphor while suggesting Megan Thee Stallion could be affecting Thompson’s play, with Patrick Beverley participating in the discussion.
- Thompson responded in an Instagram comment calling the language "disgusting and disturbing," asking how the hosts would feel if he referred to their wives that way and tagging Beverley directly.
- No apology or substantive reply from Williams or Beverley has been widely reported, as clips of the exchange drew strong reactions across social media.
- Coverage notes Thompson’s on-court downturn this season, including his recent move to a bench role with Dallas and career-low shooting numbers reported around 32% from the field and under 30% from three.
- Analysts cited alternative explanations for the slump such as age, prior injuries, reduced shot attempts and changes in the Mavericks’ roster and roles, pushing back on blaming his relationship.
