Klay Thompson has finally been seen wearing the Dallas Mavericks jersey, which has been greatly awaited by the team's supporters. Just in time for today's media day, a video of the sniper in his new house was just shared on Twitter, providing fans and the media with their first glimpse. Thompson can be seen in the video strolling around the Mavericks' brand-new practice facility while sporting his brand-new No. 31 jersey with pride. As the Mavs prepare for what could be an exciting season, fans will no doubt be enthused to see the four-time NBA champion dressed in blue.
Thompson's new teammates welcomed him with open arms as soon as he walked inside the gym. Thompson was welcomed to the team by Daniel Gafford, a fresh addition to the Mavericks. But Kyrie Irving's response was what caught our attention. Irving, a longtime friend of Thompson's, was giddy with anticipation at seeing his new partner. The obvious bond between these two outstanding guards is encouraging for Dallas Mavericks in the next campaign.
This is the first glimpse of Thompson wearing Mavericks jersey ahead of the team's media day on Monday. This occasion launches Thompson into a new phase of his career since it is his first formal press appearance since joining the Mavericks.

After 11 season Klay Thompson left Golden State Warriors
After spending thirteen years with the Golden State Warriors, Thompson views this season as a major departure. The five-time All-Star's transfer to Dallas offers him the opportunity to show that he can continue to play at a high level in a new system with new teammates in addition to just a changing environment.
This fearsome combination has the potential to upset the standings in Western Conference.
Following an incredible 11-year tenure with the Warriors that includes four NBA titles, five All-Star games, and two All-NBA teams for the 34-year-old shooter, Thompson decided to join the Mavericks in the summer. On November 12 at San Francisco's Chase Center, Thompson will make his Bay Area debut against his former team as a member of the Mavericks.
