Irving has held the Mavs together as the team’s unquestioned leader. You’d think he’d have gotten the benefit of the doubt in the All-Star

Dallas Mavericks‘ recent 137-136 nail-biting victory over the New Orleans Pelicans highlighted more than just the team’s collective resilience—it underscored the importance of Klay Thompson’s evolving role within their system.

The latest misfortune in the Mavericks' injury-riddled season occurred Thursday night when the All-Star reserves were announced by TNT. Kyrie Irving, who had the best chance of qualifying for the Western Conference team, was not selected as part of the 14 reserves.

Klay Thompson tied a Mavericks record for three-pointers made in a quarter, hitting seven triples in the first 12 minutes of the game against the Washington Wizards in a 130-108 victory. The only other Maverick to do so in history is the esteemed Luka Doncic,

Dallas Mavericks fans who spent their Monday evening at the American Airlines Center were blessed with an absolute masterpiece from Klay Thompson for the first 10 minutes of the game that they will never forget.

Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd explained why he believes Kyrie Irving is deserving of a 2024-25 NBA All-Star Game selection.

Klay Thompson finished the win with 20 points, four rebounds and one assist while shooting 7/15 from the field and 6/11 from the three-point range in 29 minutes of playing time. Many people reacted to his performance on social media.
