Klay Thompson playing for someone other than the Golden State Warriors is going to take some getting used to. Drafted by the Warriors in 2011, Thompson won four championships with the franchise before signing with the Dallas Mavericks this offseason.
Thompson averaged 19.6 points on 41.3 percent from three-point range in 793 games for the Warriors. Forming an iconic backcourt with Steph Curry, Thompson was an integral piece to all four championships the Warriors won while he was there.
Now with the Mavericks, Thompson is looking to help Luka Doncic and the reigning Western Conference champions take that next step.
The Mavericks held their media day on Monday, and Thompson stared some content in an Instagram post.
