“When me and [Kyrie Irving] have the ball, you basically can’t help from Klay because if you leave him wide open, he’s going to make it,” Dončić said.

Thompson, renowned for his lethal shooting, adds a new dynamic to the Mavs’ offense as they look to compete for a deep playoff run this season. His connection to Miller, one of the NBA’s greatest shooters, adds another layer to his storied career as he begins this new chapter in Dallas.
