Klay Thompson Credits Megan Thee Stallion for His “Best Birthday Ever”

Klay Thompson’s birthday recap just crossed over from NBA timeline to full-on celebrity gossip — and he’s the one who hit “post.”

Per a report from TMZ, the Dallas Mavericks guard celebrated his 36th birthday and publicly thanked Megan Thee Stallion for making it his “best” one yet. Thompson wrote on social media, “Best birthday ever thanks to my baby. I’m still on cloud East 99,” a line that instantly turned a simple birthday shoutout into a headline moment for hoops fans and pop-culture watchers alike.

The post wasn’t just words, either. TMZ noted Thompson shared multiple photos from the celebration, with the four-time NBA champ smiling alongside Megan and friends — the kind of couple content that travels fast in the NBA world, especially when it comes from a player who’s usually more low-key off the court.

Then came the “wait, what?” clip. According to TMZ, Thompson also posted video of himself on stage with Bone Thugs-N-Harmony as the group performed some of its hits — an unexpectedly iconic crossover for anyone who grew up on ‘90s rap and now watches Klay hunt threes.

And if you’ve been following the relationship chatter, TMZ framed the birthday glow-up as part of a bigger pattern: the pair have looked “virtually inseparable,” and the outlet pointed to a recent New York City date night where things got a little spicy during a mini-golf outing.

There’s even a family seal of approval. TMZ reported Klay’s dad, former NBA player Mychal Thompson, called Megan a “very nice lady,” while adding that any engagement talk is strictly up to the couple.

With the NBA All-Star break giving players a rare breather, TMZ also noted the two should have even more time together — meaning this won’t be the last time sports fans end up reading celebrity tea with their morning standings check.
