Klay Thompson won't sit by and let two former NBA players drag his girlfriend.
Thompson, 35, jumped into the comments of the "Hoopin' N Hollerin'" podcast's Instagram account on Wednesday, November 12, to defend Megan Thee Stallion after Jason Williams used a derogatory term to describe her to his cohost, Patrick Beverly.
"Referring to my GF as a ‘p****' is so disgusting and disturbing," the Dallas Mavericks star wrote. "Especially from someone who played in the NBA. How would yall feel if I referred to your wives in such a way ? @patbev21."
"Do better fellas," he added. "Very disappointing."
During the Tuesday, November 11, episode, Williams, 49, suggested that Thompson's relationship with Megan, 30, could be the reason for his struggles on the court so far in 2025–26.
"I'm from West Virginia, man, I've been taught a lot from old folks, old white folks," he said. "It only takes one p**** to drag a battleship across the desert. That's how powerful it is."
"Klay Thompson, I ain't sayin' that's what it is," he continued, "but that might be what it is."
Thompson is averaging a career-low 8.5 points per game through 11 games this season, down from 14.0 per game last year. He is also shooting a career-worst 28.9 percent from three-point range and 32.1 percent from the field.
Thompson and Megan seemingly hard-launched their relationship in July when the four-time NBA champion posted a carousel of photos via Instagram that included shots of Megan - though her face was not shown. They eliminated any doubt a few days later, appearing together at the rapper's Pete & Thomas Foundation Gala in New York City.
"Megan is such a special person, and she inspires so many around the world," Thompson told Us Weekly exclusively at the gala. "I've seen it firsthand. This is just another incredible feat of hers to be able to give back, create foundation and raise a ton of money for those in need. And I'm honored to be here by her side."
Meanwhile, Megan thought of her late parents, Joseph Pete III and Holly Thomas, for whom the foundation is named. She told Us that she believed they would approve of her new boyfriend.
"I feel like my mom would've been like, ‘Wow, you finally picked a nice man!'" she said. "We kissed a lot of frogs, but now we got a real prince! I feel like they would be very proud. My dad would be very happy."
Thompson added that he would have loved to meet them.
"I know both of them would be so proud of their only daughter because of what - not only what she's been able to accomplish, what she's also going to continue to do," he said. "She has never been put in a box, or allowed herself to be in a box, and she just continues to inspire so many people around the world. And, on top of that, raise a ton of money this evening and just do so much for so many in need."
