Klay Thompson Gives A Sneak Peak On Fitting Alongside Luka Doncic And Kyrie Irving On The Mavs
The Dallas Mavericks are head into next season with championship aspirations on their mind. They made the NBA Finals last season and added four-time champion Klay Thompson in the summer. He opened up on how playing alongside Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving appealed to him as he believes he can help solve the problems that hurt them in the Finals.
“Me playing with Luka and Kyrie, that’s what was attractive, was seeing how, especially watching that championship series, I was really shocked to see the chemistry with the teammates. At this point in my career, I might not be able to run as fast as everyone, or jump as high, but I can still knock down open shots and I think I can be that missing piece for them.”
“The [defense] can’t guard Kyrie and Luka. They can’t send as many double teams. They gotta worry about playing the backside. With Dereck Lively II, that’s what was also super attractive. Gafford is so good at catching lobs and finishing at the rim… I think we have a chance to do something special and win a championship.”
