Klay Thompson has been putting in serious work this offseason, as evidenced by a viral video showing the Dallas Mavericks guard sinking 70 consecutive three-pointers. The impressive shooting display has created a mix of excitement for Mavericks fans and nostalgic longing for Warriors supporters.
Thompson's first season with Dallas after leaving the Warriors was somewhat underwhelming. Now, however, the sharpshooter appears to be regaining his legendary form as he prepares for his second campaign with the Mavericks.
The departure of Thompson from Golden State last year marked the breakup of the Warriors' legendary Big Three, leaving many fans with conflicting emotions. While they wished him success in his new environment, seeing one of the franchise's greatest players in another uniform wasn't easy to accept.
Thompson's decision to join Dallas was reportedly influenced by the opportunity to play alongside Luka Doncic, giving him a fresh start after his tenure with the Warriors. The Mavericks have also strengthened their roster by securing the number one overall draft pick, Cooper Flagg.
Off the court, Thompson's life seems to be thriving as well. He recently made headlines by going public with his relationship with music star Megan Thee Stallion, further cementing his transition to life in Dallas.
Despite the separation, there's reportedly still mutual respect between Thompson and the Warriors organization. Sources suggest Golden State would welcome him back if he became available through free agency or trade discussions in the future.
Will Thompson return to his All-Star form next season? His shooting display certainly suggests he's on the right track, demonstrating why he's considered one of the greatest shooters in basketball history.
