Unlike others, however, Thompson found a way to seemingly soft launch his relationship with Megan Thee Stallion. Rumors about the Dallas Mavericks guard and Grammy-award winner's relationship started swirling after the rapper, birth name Megan Pete, posted a photo on Instagram on Thursday. As Pete posed next to a pool, fans spotted what looked to be Thompson laying in the background. In one slide, the four-time NBA champion posed alongside someone, presumed to be Pete, facing away from the camera. Thompson is coming off his first campaign with the Dallas Mavericks, where he averaged 14 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2 assists.
