Klay Thompson couldn’t help but laugh when he saw a video that expressed his actual feelings about the Mavericks vs. Warriors. The Dallas Mavericks and Golden State Warriors are regarded as two of the top three-point shooting teams in the NBA, but the Mavericks now have a clear advantage with Klay Thompson in Dallas.
On Saturday, Thompson took to social media to express his opinion to a video circulating online depicting the hardship that his former teammates face. Thompson’s reaction came as his potential impact on Kyrie Irving’s future success as a point guard was exposed. Thompson’s addition sparked strong emotions from the NBA community.
Will Steph Curry and Draymond Green have enough firepower to withstand the Mavericks’ attack next season? Thompson seemed to believe that his club has a clear advantage.
Klay Thompson shared the chuckles on his Instagram page.
The Warriors and Mavericks will compete on the hardwood next season, not on the dance floor, but Thompson took the luxury of mocking the latter on social media to make a point.
Thompson tweeted “I’m crying” with six crying emojis and one laughing and crying emoji after seeing a video of a dance-off scenario in which Curry and the Warriors were suddenly down at least one guy.
Thompson’s challenge with the Mavericks
The Mavericks now have a talented and complete lineup, with Irving at one, Thompson at two, Luka Doncic at three, PJ Washington at four, and emerging sensation Daniel Gafford at five.
The Mavericks don’t need Thompson to accomplish much to consistently beat less talented teams like Steph Curry’s Warriors, barring any unexpected offseason trades.
Unlike last season, when Thompson played for an overmatched Warriors team, he has ample of support around him, including strong shooters, young players/athletes, and two superstars who will lead the club and provide him with lots of open looks.
Thompson and Curry led the Warriors to the verge of the playoffs last season. Without Thompson in the Bay Area, the Mavericks should be able to outscore the original Splash Brother, Curry, and anybody Steve Kerr and the Warriors put on the court this season.
