Klay Thompson, known for his calm demeanor and sharpshooting prowess, didn’t hold back when confronted by a heckler while signing autographs for fans. The incident occurred on a Dallas street, where Thompson was greeted by a mix of adoring fans and a lone detractor who attempted to troll the four-time NBA champion.
Heckler: “I’m the only one that doesn’t give a f**k, I don’t even know who tf you are.”
Klay Thompson: “But you over there watching, you bum. I don’t know what you’re talking about. Go deliver your package, Go deliver your package. Go do your job. Go do your job. Why are you standing there? Go do your job. You’re a weirdo.”
Delivery guy: “I’m the only one that doesn’t give a f***, I don’t even know who the f*** you are.”
Klay: “But you’re over there watching you bum… Go do your job… Weirdo:”

The moment, captured on a fan’s phone, quickly went viral on social media. Fans praised Thompson for his quick comeback and ability to stand his ground without escalating the situation.
Now in his first season with the Dallas Mavericks, Thompson has adjusted well to his new team. While his stats—14.1 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 1.9 assists per game on 41.6% shooting from the field and 38.0% from three-point range—aren’t as dazzling as his Golden State Warriors days, his veteran leadership and clutch shooting have been instrumental in the Mavericks’ strong 20-12 start. Dallas currently holds the fourth spot in the Western Conference, solidifying themselves as contenders.
In contrast, Thompson’s former team, the Golden State Warriors, has struggled this season. Sitting at 10th in the West with a 16-15 record, they are far from their championship-winning form. The Warriors’ decline has been attributed to injuries, aging stars, and a lack of depth, leaving fans questioning their future as a title contender.
The Mavericks have emerged as one of the favorites in the West this season. With Luka Doncic sidelined due to injury, other players, including Thompson, have stepped up. Klay’s ability to space the floor and his playoff experience make him an invaluable asset as Dallas eyes a deep postseason run.
While Thompson has embraced his new role in Dallas, his competitive edge remains intact. Incidents like the heckler encounter highlight his resilience and refusal to let outside noise affect his game.
As Thompson continues his journey with the Mavericks, his focus remains on helping the team compete for a championship. The incident with the heckler is just another example of his unwavering confidence and ability to rise above distractions. Whether on the court or off, Klay Thompson proves time and again why he’s one of the most respected players in the league.
