Klay Thompson had NBA Fans talking again, and not for his jumper this time. The Dallas Mavericks guard posted a message saying,
“Big things are coming,” as shared by @TheDunkCentral. While the message sounded confident, it sparked a wave of jokes from NBA Fans who’ve been watching the Mavs’ early-season struggles with raised eyebrows.
Klay Thompson sends a message and says ‘big things are coming’
“I’m gonna do great things. That’s coming. I know it is. I’m feeling like those first five games were hard for me to get my wind and get my legs under me. Now I’m finally feeling like myself again. And you just know… pic.twitter.com/rxbeafHvel

@SkyzNyc fired the shot heard across X (formerly Twitter): “At this point, Megan Thee Stallion might as well suit up for the Mavs.” The post quickly went viral as NBA Fans piled on, linking Klay’s struggles and his rumored connection to Megan. Another user, @muffinfudger, followed up with, “Or switch to Dojacat,” adding fuel to the joke.
For NBA Fans, it wasn’t about disrespect—it was frustration mixed with humor. The Mavs have been inconsistent, and Klay’s individual performance hasn’t exactly helped silence the noise. Every missed jumper now comes with a meme or a punchline. And every time he posts something positive, NBA Fans turn it into comedy gold.
Still, some said Klay’s message showed he hasn’t lost confidence. The phrase “Big things are coming” could easily refer to internal team adjustments or his ongoing effort to regain rhythm. But for NBA Fans, the timing made it too easy to troll.
The Megan jokes might sting a bit, yet they highlight how closely fans tie off-court stories to on-court play. Klay’s confidence isn’t just being tested by his stats—it’s being tested by the internet’s relentless humor. Whether those “big things” come true or not, NBA Fans clearly aren’t waiting quietly to find out.
NBA Fans Think Klay Thompson’s Slump Has A Pop Culture Twist
NBA Fans have found a new explanation for Klay Thompson’s struggles—and it’s not about jump shots or rotations. It’s Megan Thee Stallion.
It all began with a viral post from @BrickCenter_, who joked, “Klay Thompson so washed he’s shooting the ball BACKWARDS.” The clip quickly made the rounds, showing Thompson’s awkward release in practice. But instead of breaking down his form, NBA Fans turned the replies into a full-blown meme fest centered around Megan.

@Mardabadguy fired off a Mortal Kombat meme captioned, “Megan did him like Shang Tsung,” paired with the villain’s line, “Your soul is mine.” The post exploded, with NBA Fans joking that Megan had somehow “stolen Klay’s rhythm.” Another user, @Fityeth, summed up the sentiment perfectly: “I blame Megan Thee Stallion for this whole Klay situation.”
And we can’t blame the NBA fans for this amusing development. If one can put two and two together, Klay’s struggles has already been notable, but it quickly fell down a notch after the singer getting tangled with the Mavericks player.
Of course, there’s no real evidence that Megan Thee Stallion has anything to do with Klay’s on-court problems. But NBA Fans love a good narrative, especially one that turns frustration into laughs. The memes may sting, but they also show how quickly social media rewrites stories in real time.
