NBA Fans had a brand-new moment dropped into their timeline, and it felt like content pulled straight out of a video game side quest list.
According to @BleacherReport, Klay Thompson taught Megan Thee Stallion how to golf and somehow walked away with money from D’Angelo Russell. The post described it simply: “Klay taught Megan Thee Stallion how to golf AND won money off D’Angelo Russell [golf emoji][fire emoji].”

That sentence alone did most of the work.
The video showed Klay calmly giving swing tips, Megan laughing and taking shots, and Russell catching strays without even holding a club. NBA Fans immediately latched onto the randomness of it all.
One fan, @Kiwiuh, summed up the mood perfectly: “Klay teaching Megan to golf is the most random side quest of all time [crying emoji][fire emoji].”
Another post from @FearedReaves added, “D’lo gets cooked everywhere,” which felt less like analysis and more like an unchanging law of nature.
NBA Fans pointed out how on-brand this actually is for Klay. He has always lived in his own lane. Whether it is boating, toaster jokes, or disappearing from social media for weeks, Klay turning a quiet golf day into viral chaos felt very on script.
This moment isn’t just about golf or betting money. It shows how Klay has shifted into a space where fans enjoy him just as much off the court as on it. NBA Fans weren’t debating stats or wins. They were laughing, sharing clips, and enjoying how relaxed everything felt.
In a league full of controlled media moments, this one felt loose. NBA Fans did not need storylines or hot takes. They just watched Klay teach golf, Megan have fun, and D’Angelo Russell lose another imaginary matchup.
NBA Fans Remember Peak Klay While Watching Him Become One Of The League’s Favorite Memes
As NBA Fans laugh at the golfing clips and side quests, many also remember a very different version of Klay Thompson.
@Ballislife reminded everyone of that gap with a post dated December 5, 2025: “9 years ago today, Klay Thompson scored 60 POINTS…in 29 minutes…on just 11 dribbles! He held the ball for 90 seconds [fire emoji].” That post instantly reset the conversation.

Back then, NBA Fans talked about Klay as pure potential turning real. Clean shooting. No wasted movement. Absolute calm.
@IQContained called him “The best spot up shooter of all time in his prime,” and few people pushed back on that.
Now the tone is different. After rough stretches, injuries, and uneven nights, NBA Fans often react with jokes instead of fear. Every off-game becomes a meme. Every random clip becomes a headline. The golf video with Megan Thee Stallion only added fuel to that shift, especially with social media playfully acting like they are married or living in the same celebrity universe.
Even betting brands got involved. @BovadaOfficial posted, “Somehow the 11 dribbles is the most amazing of those stats [clapping emoji].” NBA Fans agreed, not because it happened yesterday, but because it shows how far the image swing has gone.
Klay is no longer just judged by box scores. He lives in nostalgia, jokes, and viral moments all at once. For NBA Fans, that dual identity is strange but entertaining. The same player who once terrified defenses now trends because he taught Megan Thee Stallion how to hold a golf club.
