Klay Thompson isn't staying silent after former NBA players Patrick Beverley and Jason Williams made what he called "disgusting and disturbing" remarks about his girlfriend, Megan Thee Stallion.
 
The Dallas Mavericks guard, who's been facing criticism for his slow start this season, became the subject of discussion on Beverley and Williams' Hoopin' N Hollerin' podcast. The hosts speculated that Thompson's relationship with the Houston-born rapper might be distracting him from his game.
 
Williams, 49, went as far as saying, "It only takes one p--- to drag a battleship across the desert. That's how powerful it is," implying that Megan might be responsible for the star's struggles. Beverley laughed but didn't push back on the comment.
 
Thompson, 35, responded publicly under the podcast's Instagram clip. "Referring to my GF as a 'p***y' is so disgusting and disturbing," he wrote. "Especially from someone who played in the NBA. How would y'all feel if I referred to your wives in such a way? Do better."
 
The Mavericks have opened the season 3–9, with Thompson averaging 8.5 points per game and shooting just 28.9% from beyond the arc, numbers well below his career averages. While his on-court performance has drawn criticism, Thompson's defenders say personal attacks cross a line.
 
Off the court, Thompson and Megan have been public about their relationship since going Instagram official over the summer. The rapper recently posted a photo of the two forming a heart with their hands in front of a house, sparking rumors that they might be living together.
 
At a gala in July, Megan described their first meeting as "a movie," though she kept details private. The pair have since appeared at games and events together, with Megan supporting him courtside during preseason.
 
While critics question his form, Thompson's message was clear: his personal life isn't up for debate.
 
"Keep my girlfriend's name out of your mouths," one fan commented in support. "He's struggling, sure, but respect goes both ways."
