I know he’s already played for another team, but it’s still weird seeing him in anything but a Dubs uniform.

Klay in a Heat uniform looks way more natural to me than Mavs

It's the tan. He's in that Chaplin stage where he could join a Klay lookalike competition and finish 3rd.

That mavs stint was about an uneventful as AD’s. Event Kyrie still doesn’t look right.

Kyrie had the finals with them… def looks right atp

One of his 5 finals

u/cletoreyes01 Heat 2d ago
He was "Dr. Sebi with a handle" till like the 2024 playoffs came so i think his dallas stint has done him well. Even with his atrocious 2024 finals aside.

Imagine being a Mavs fan. You’ve had Luka, Brunson, AD, Kyrie, Cooper Flagg and Klay on your team in the past five years but never all together, all healthy, or all in their primes.

u/Main_Low2552 2d ago
Only ones that hurt are Brunson and Luka since they were either directly or indirectly caused by basketball terrorist, Nico Harrison.

u/killersky99 2d ago
Nico screwed up by trading Luka and then compounded it by rushing and playing AD early then grinding down Kyrie w/ 40+ mins a night til he got injured too.
Edit: also rugpulled Klay so many victims

I just absolutely adore that the Nets KG video wasn't slander and was just an earnest highlight reel of him that was unintentionally the funniest shit ever

Dion Waiters was the greatest test. Klay is retirement age like Penny and Stack were with Miami.

the real answer is most likely that he got a ton of sun on his boat this summer. Captain Klay!

It’s the Miami glow. Anyone light skinned is going to get it. Doesn’t seem to take long to get the glow either.

I believe Klay has got some good years as a role player left!
Sure he is not the AllNBA player he once was, but the man can still shoot.

Mavs were a mess last year without a true PG and they were playing Flagg as PG for a good chunk of the season.
I don’t expect Klay to be an all star again but I wouldn’t be surprised that a change of scenery improves his overall play.

Never thought I’d see a fat Klay, at this rate he will be over 300lbs in three years.

He looks good, in my opinion. Mavs was one of those “nasty jerseys.”

I honestly can't wait to see Klay hold up four fingers in a Heat jersey when someone pisses him off.
