The Dallas Mavericks secured one of last offseason's top players when they signed Klay Thompson after his departure from the Golden State Warriors. Thompson chose the Mavericks over other teams in part because of the opportunity to play with Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving and go for a title following their championship run last season.

Klay Thompson scored 21 of his 23 points in the first quarter, matching a Dallas record by hitting seven 3-pointers in the period, and the Mavericks breezed past the NBA-worst Washington Wizards 130-108 on Monday night.

Klay Thompson weighed in on the rumored potential All-Star 3-point contest that would see him and former Golden State Warriors teammate Steph Curry face off against WNBA stars Sabrina Ionescu and Cait

Klay Thompson finished the win with 20 points, four rebounds and one assist while shooting 7/15 from the field and 6/11 from the three-point range in 29 minutes of playing time. Many people reacted to his performance on social media.
