Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson had fans going wild after the duo confirmed that they are dating. Just like we saw with Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift in the NFL, they became the talk of the town in the NBA, especially. While some people fawned over the new couple, some people also poked fun at the couple.
Recently, Mike Tyson appeared for an interview on NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal’s podcast, where they discussed the couple as well. Adam Lefkoe co-hosted this episode, and when he brought up the couple, Shaq seemed unimpressed with them, while Tyson had arguably the funniest reaction to their dating news.
While O’Neal only had two words for the couple, Tyson seemed a bit more optimistic about them. Here’s what their conversation looked like.
Adam Lefkoe: Shaq, did you see the news about the new hot couple?
Mike Tyson: Who? Who?
Adam Lefkoe: It is Klay Thompson and Megan the Stallion.
Mike Tyson: Who’s Klay Thompson though?
Adam Lefkoe: He plays basketball. Uh he was in the Warriors. He’s one of the greatest shooters of all time. He’s now on the Dallas Mavericks.
Mike Tyson: Really?
Adam Lefkoe: And he’s with Megan the Stallion.
Shaquille O’Neal: Six weeks.
Mike Tyson: I’m going to say nothing. I’m not going to say nothing.
Adam Lefkoe: So what Shaq is doing, he’s setting the line, our Draftking Sportsbook line at the summer. You don’t see it lasting into the fall?
Shaquille O’Neal: Six weeks.
Adam Lefkoe: What did it surprise you?
Mike Tyson: Listen? Come on. I don’t know. Listen, man. She got shot for that bulls*** that might last a long time. You know, six weeks ain’t nothing. She got shot. So, you got to you got to give her some credit, right? You got to give a little credit that he might got some staying power with that bulls***.
While Tyson hilariously had no idea who Klay Thompson is, he had heard about Megan Thee Stallion’s alleged incident with Tory Lanez and claimed that she is a resilient woman who will fight for her man as well. Shaq was a bit harsh in concluding that the couple would only last six weeks.
The couple was first spotted together while on vacation, following which Thompson and Megan both made teasing appearances on each other’s social media profiles. Subsequently, they made their first public appearance for a gala in New York where Megan first confirmed that the duo are dating.
While Klay Thompson has been with multiple women in his career, this seems to be a serious, healthy, long-term relationship. Thompson usually remains private about his affairs, but if he’s willing to make this public commitment, it seems like he is just as serious as he could be in this relationship. We certainly hope they last longer than six weeks.
