NBA Fans had a good laugh after Megan Thee Stallion appeared in a new commercial explaining Fanatics Sportsbook’s “Fair Play™” rule.
The video was posted by @TheNBACentel with the caption, “Megan Thee Stallion explains @FanaticsBook’s awesome ‘Fair Play™’ rule [money bag emoji][horse emoji]”, and it did not take long before NBA Fans turned their attention to an unexpected angle: Klay Thompson.

A top reply came from @Shady_Justin saying, “Klay hooking her up with sponsors,” a joke tied to the recent public attention around Klay and Megan’s rumored connection.
NBA Fans found the timing funny, given how Klay has been in more commercials and brand spots than usual.
Another user, @grogu_dindjarin, added, “Isn’t this a conflict of interest lol,” hinting at the league’s ongoing betting issues and how active players are being watched closely when it comes to gambling-related topics.
The reactions from NBA Fans kept rolling, and most of them treated the moment as light comedy. The mix of a pop star, a major betting brand, and a player who has been part of several viral off-court stories this year created a perfect setup for jokes. Some NBA Fans also pointed out how Fanatics is pushing hard to broaden their reach by pairing sports rules with mainstream celebrity appeal.
The “Fair Play” rule itself is meant to protect customers from odds shifts if a player is suddenly ruled out. But NBA Fans made it clear they were more focused on the crossover between Megan’s endorsement and Klay’s growing list of media touches. It isn’t just about a commercial anymore. NBA Fans turned it into another storyline in a year where nearly everything tied to betting becomes part of a bigger conversation.
NBA Fans React As Klay Thompson Goes Viral Again With New Endorsement Ad
NBA Fans jumped into another round of reactions after Klay Thompson posted a new promotional clip for Subway.
The four-time champion shared it on his official account, @KlayThompson, with the caption, “Footlong Pretzel or Footlong Churro? Why not both [eyes emoji] @subway.”

@GameOnSteph_ replied with, “Rare Klay tweet [crying emoji],” with a video showing Klay dancing in front of a green screen, pointing out how unusual it is for Klay to be this active online.
The comment captured what many NBA Fans were thinking. Klay’s social media presence has been quiet for most of his career, so any playful post tends to gain extra attention.
Another fan, @MethodISMyMdnss, took a more thoughtful route, writing, “Klay is a star, a legit 4x champion… I ain’t betting against him. Either way, I’ll always be a fan.”
NBA Fans echoed that sentiment across the replies, saying Klay still deserves respect even if he is more visible in ads lately.
The mix of jokes and support showed how strongly NBA Fans feel about his career arc. Some see him as a veteran shifting into more off-court work, while others believe he has more to give. The Subway ad simply amplified that discussion.
NBA Fans kept the conversation going, saying the clip opened a window into a lighter version of Klay that the public does not always see. Whether he is promoting food, sharing a dance, or hinting at something deeper about his next steps, NBA Fans always show up when his name starts trending.
