Netflix Officially Announces Documentary Series on Dallas Mavericks Star Klay Thompson
In a move that’s sure to excite basketball fans worldwide, Netflix has officially announced the development of a documentary series focused on Klay Thompson, the celebrated NBA star who recently made headlines with his move to the Dallas Mavericks. The streaming giant confirmed the news earlier this week, teasing an in-depth exploration of Thompson’s life, career, and the next chapter he’s starting in Dallas.
Klay Thompson, a four-time NBA champion and five-time All-Star, spent the entirety of his career with the Golden State Warriors before signing a three-year, $50 million deal with the Mavericks in 2024. His departure from the Warriors marked the end of an era and the beginning of a new journey with Dallas, where he’s already making a significant impact.
The upcoming Netflix documentary promises to offer fans unprecedented access to Thompson’s world — both on and off the court. According to insiders close to the production, the series will cover his transition to the Mavericks, his relationship with teammates like Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, and his efforts to help Dallas contend for an NBA championship. It will also delve into his personal life, exploring his family, friendships, and passions outside of basketball, including his well-known love for boating and his laid-back California lifestyle.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Klay Thompson on this project,” said a Netflix spokesperson in a statement. “Klay’s story is one of resilience, dedication, and undeniable talent. From his historic run with the Warriors to his fresh start with the Mavericks, there’s so much to explore — and we believe fans will love getting to know the man behind the jersey.”
The documentary is set to feature interviews with some of the biggest names in basketball. Former teammates like Stephen Curry and Draymond Green are expected to reflect on their years playing alongside Thompson and the legendary “Splash Brothers” era. Meanwhile, Mavericks stars Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving will offer insight into what it’s been like welcoming Thompson to their team and how his experience and leadership are shaping Dallas’s future.
Beyond the court, the series will also cover the challenges Thompson faced in recent years, including his comeback from devastating injuries — a torn ACL and Achilles — that kept him sidelined for two full seasons. His return to the NBA was a testament to his perseverance, and fans can expect to see the behind-the-scenes struggles and triumphs of that journey.
Rumors suggest the documentary could drop as early as late 2025, though Netflix has yet to confirm an official release date. In the meantime, excitement is already building, with social media buzzing over the announcement. Mavericks fans are especially eager to see how the series captures this new chapter of their team’s history, with Thompson at the forefront.
As production gets underway, one thing is clear: Klay Thompson’s story is far from over. And thanks to Netflix, the world will get a front-row seat to witness the next part
of his legacy.
