Mavericks Mock Warriors After Klay Thompson’s Winning Debut

The NBA season has kicked off, and so has the drama.

Thompson’s Fiery Start with the Mavericks

Klay Thompson made a blazing start in his first game for the Mavericks, sparking some online banter. The team’s social media playfully suggested that Thompson and Luka Doncic might be the new “Splash Brothers,” a nod to Klay’s old partnership with Stephen Curry.

Record-Breaking Performance

Right after Doncic assisted Thompson for his fifth three-pointer of the night, another successful shot came soon after, helping the Mavericks secure a 120-109 victory. With six threes in total, Thompson set a record for most three-pointers made by any player debuting for the Mavericks.

Splash Brothers Controversy

Some Warriors fans weren’t thrilled about this new “Splash Brothers” label since it originally belonged to Thompson and Curry. But considering Doncic was second only to Curry in three-pointers last season, it’s not too far-fetched. Together, Thompson and Doncic could easily make over 600 threes this season!

Fans think this duo will be exciting to watch!

Thompson is excited about playing alongside Doncic. He praised him as an amazing talent who defies traditional basketball norms by controlling games at his own pace.

A Bit of Trolling History

Dallas has teased Golden State before. When they signed Thompson, they referenced an old moment involving Curry’s son shouting “Hello, Klay Thompson.”

Mark your calendars: on November 12th, Klay will face his former team in San Francisco—an emotional reunion awaits!
